Unveiling the Short Loin: The Source of Your Favorite Steaks

Have you ever wondered where your T-bone and sirloin steaks come from? It all starts with a half carcass, specifically the section from the 12th rib to the back of the animal, known as the short loin. This prime part of beef is the treasure trove for the much-loved T-bones and sirloins.

The Butchery Process: Crafting the Perfect Cuts

Our expert butchers at Whiskey Creek take the short loin and meticulously break it down to extract the prized steaks. The process begins with the short loin on the cutting table, where we identify the tenderloin and sirloin sections. The tenderloin is thinner and extends from the rib section, while the sirloin, attached to the backside, boasts a thicker slice of the fillet.

Cutting and Cleaning: The Path to Perfection

With precision, we start cutting from the thicker end of the short loin to produce the quarter house steaks, followed by the T-bones. Each steak is carefully trimmed to ensure it meets our high standards. Cleaning off any bone dust is essential to achieve the clean, appetizing look of our steaks, using a bone duster to ensure each cut is impeccable.

Defining Quality: The T-Bone and Quarter House Standards

Quality at Whiskey Creek is defined by strict criteria. For a cut to qualify as a quarter house, it must have at least an inch and a quarter of tenderloin measured perpendicular from the bone. T-bones require at least a half-inch of tenderloin. The cuts at the end of the loin, lacking sufficient tenderloin, are crafted into New York strip steaks, ensuring no quality meat goes to waste.
