​Why Are Some Cuts of Meat So Expensive?

​By Pierre Mouchette | Real Property Experts LLC

Expensive Steaks are Tender Steaks
High-end steaks such as ribeye, strip loin, tenderloin, T-bone, and Porterhouse steaks come from areas of the animal whose muscles do not get much exercise keeping them tender.  The foregoing cuts make up just 8% of the beef carcass, with the other 92% being less profitable.
 
Tougher Cuts Are Cheaper Cuts
Some of the cuts that have traditionally been less desirable are the ones that come from the round, bottom sirloin, and chuck.  This is because these are muscles that get a lot of exercises, making them tough, and there is often a lot of connective tissue holding these muscles together.
