What to look for when Shopping for Beef
Lean boneless cuts yield up to 4 servings per pound. Beef cuts with some bone yield up to 3 servings per pound. Bony cuts yield no more than 1½ servings per pound. One serving of a rib roast is equal to half a rib, so if you will be serving 8 people, a 4 rib roast should be purchased. 16 ounces (one pound) of ground beef produces about 4 cooked 3-ounce servings, which is the serving size recommended for a healthy diet.
When planning a meal, it is always better to purchase too much beef than not enough. Always be prepared for people with larger appetites. If there are leftovers, cooked beef will keep in the refrigerator for several days or the unused portions may be frozen for long term storage.
You can save money by purchasing larger portions of beef and then cutting them into smaller cuts at home. Larger cuts of beef often cost less per pound because less preparation is required from the butcher. Just make sure that you have a sharp knife and that any beef that will not be used promptly is stored properly until it is ready to use.
