Question

Do steaks come from cows or bulls?

Answer 1

Bulls are just male cows but most steaks and other types of beef come from cows before they're old enough to be considered a cow.

Bulls are sometimes slaughtered for meat but they rarely do so because they need more bulls which are male cows to mate with the female cows to produce more calves so we have more milk cows and meat.

So steaks are mostly from calves or cows which are female cows.

Answer 2

You'll usually see ribeye, filet mignon, and T-bone or porterhouse steaks listed as the top three most popular in a steak cuts guide.

These steaks are commonly on the menu in steakhouses because of their quality and texture.

A steak is a thick cut of meat generally sliced across the muscle fibers, sometimes including a bone.

It is normally grilled or fried.

Beef is a blanket term for the meat that comes from cows, while steak is a name for a specific cut of meat from the cow.

Once you have a steak from the cow, you can get more specific on the cuts of steak.

Steaks are cut from animals including cattle, bison, buffalo, camel, goat, horse, kangaroo, sheep, ostrich, pigs, turkey, and deer, as well as various types of fish, especially salmon and large fish such as swordfish, shark, and marlin.
