The cuts of meat that every good griller should know
A good barbecue begins long before lighting the fire. It starts with choosing the right cut. Knowing the types of meat and their qualities is essential for achieving perfect cooking and an unforgettable experience around the fire.
Whether you're hosting an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, here are some of the most popular cuts you should consider:
1. Wide steak.
Renowned for its great flavor and juiciness, the ribeye steak has marbling of fat that melts during cooking. It's ideal for grilling thick cuts over high heat.
2. Entraña
Lean, flavorful, and quick to cook, skirt steak is a favorite cut among experienced grillers. It only needs coarse salt and a touch of heat to really stand out.
3. Strip steak
A classic dish that can't be missed. It's slow-cooked and requires patience, but its texture and deep flavor make it worth every minute of waiting.
4. Picanha
Famous in Brazil, this cut has a layer of fat that enhances the flavor during cooking. It's recommended to grill it whole and slice it after cooking.
5. Thin loin
Tender and lean, it's perfect for those who prefer tender, delicate cuts. It's ideal for those looking for a lighter option without losing the grilling spirit.
The cut is just part of the ritual
Knowing which meat to choose is essential. But so is creating an experience : taking care of your timing, sharing anecdotes, toasting with friends... and yes, dressing for the occasion .
At Mantoro, we understand that a grill apron isn't just a protective garment : it's a symbol of presence, attitude, and attention to detail. That's why we design aprons designed to withstand the fire, smoke, and hustle and bustle of a good day of grilling—with durable, comfortable materials and a style that stands out.
Because fire is respected. And so is style.
Do you already know what cut you're going to prepare this weekend? Whatever it is, make sure you bring your apron, the meat, and the right timing.
