beef chop's?

Question

why can we buy pork chop's and lamb chop's but not beef chop's?

Answer 1

You can buy a beef chop any time you like. Ask your butcher for a rib of beef. No problem.

Think about the difference in size between the animals you mention and a cow. That may assist you in this grave matter..

Answer 2

A beef chop is a T-bone steak.

Answer 3

You can buy a beef chop. Just ask at the butchers for a "T-Bone" steak.

Answer 4

Yes you can, it's just that they are not called chops, but amounts to the same thing. Like entrecôte, Rib eye steak, T-bone, etc. meat with bone in it.

Answer 5

You do - T bone if there's just one (though - strictly speaking that's the equivalent of a double, or barnsley, lamb chop) - and when there's several together then that's a rib of beef.

Answer 6

chops are a cut from the rib cage in theory you could go to the butcher and get him to take one slice with rib in from a rib of beef and you'd have a beef chop.However it would take ages to fry and would be best cooked in the oven.

Answer 7

Because the "loin" part that makes chops is usually sold as several different steaks.

Answer 8

errrrrr try looking at the size of rib o beef, then perhaps that might answer your question......they are rather big animals in comparison to a lamb & a pig ya know LOL

Answer 9

Nearest thing as far as cost is concerned is a "rib eye" but it contains no bone, technically you would need to ask your butcher to cut one rib from a fore rib if you needed the bone but this would be huge & expensive

Answer 10

you can by t-bone steak which is similar, just ask the butcher to cut the slices thinner
