2021-10-07 - Beef cuts

My spouse and I sometimes misunderstand each other when we talk about beef cuts because French and US cut are not exactly the same.

Or even when we are looking at recipe recipe, the cut will usually be different around here and can be hard to understand.

This should help us in the future.
