Know Your Cut - Choosing the Right Meat Every Time

Whether you’re roasting, grilling or slow-cooking, understanding your cuts of meat helps you achieve the best results. At Devitt Meats, we make it easy to select the right cut for your recipe, with premium Australian beef, lamb and pork prepared by our skilled butchers.

QUALITY STARTS WITH KNOWLEDGE

For over 50 years, Devitt Meats has helped Sydney home cooks and chefs get the most from every piece of meat. Each cut offers its own unique texture, flavour and best-suited cooking method. By understanding your options, you’ll enjoy better results, reduce waste and elevate your everyday meals.

Our expert butchers are always ready to offer advice, recommend suitable alternatives or prepare custom portions. Whether you prefer tender roasts, lean grills or rich slow-cooked dishes, Devitt Meats provides the guidance and quality cuts you can trust.

AUSTRALIAN BEEF CUTS EXPLAINED

From Tender Steaks to Slow-Cooked Classics

Beef offers incredible variety, from delicate eye fillets to hearty briskets and ribs. Each cut behaves differently when cooked, which is why choosing the right one is key. Tender cuts like scotch fillet, striploin and rump are ideal for quick grilling, while chuck, brisket and gravy beef are perfect for slow cooking and braising.

At Devitt Meats, our butchers source premium grass-fed and grain-fed Australian beef and can portion each cut to suit your cooking style. Whether you’re preparing a steak night at home or catering for a restaurant menu, we’ll help you select the perfect balance of tenderness, marbling and flavour.

AUSTRALIAN PORK CUTS GUIDE

Juicy Roasts, Crispy Crackling and Everyday Favourites

Pork is incredibly versatile, offering both lean and rich options for every occasion. Shoulder and leg cuts are ideal for slow roasting and pulled pork dishes, while loin, fillet and ribs are best for fast cooking and BBQs. Pork belly delivers exceptional flavour and crisp crackling when roasted to perfection.

Devitt Meats supplies only Australian pork, responsibly sourced and prepared daily. Our expert team can advise on the best cuts for roasting, schnitzels or sausages, ensuring you always get the right balance of flavour, texture and tenderness for your meal.

AUSTRALIAN LAMB CUTS GUIDE

Tender, Flavourful and Perfect for Any Occasion

Australian lamb is known for its natural tenderness and rich flavour. Leg and shoulder cuts are perfect for slow roasts, while rack, cutlets and backstrap are excellent for grilling or pan-searing. Lamb shanks, neck and diced pieces work beautifully in stews and curries, developing deep flavour with time.

Every cut of lamb at Devitt Meats is hand-prepared for consistency and freshness. Our butchers can help you choose the best option for your recipe, whether you’re cooking a Sunday roast, a family BBQ or a restaurant-quality dish at home.
