Understanding beef cuts and color for intelligent buying
The text explains that porterhouse, sirloin, and prime rib have more bone and fat than round cuts and thus fetch a premium for tenderness. It emphasizes bright red color as a sign of quality, warns against dark meat implying age or poor handling, and describes how location on the live animal affects tenderness and bone content.
