US/UK Cuts Equivalents

[bsnalex]

Hi,

Anyone out there know of a good guide on the equivalent cuts between the US and the UK. I know some of the names are different (i.e. Round/Rump).

I've got a recipe calling for Chuck Eye. The posters I've seen for UK say Chuck as well, but I can't seem to find a supermarket that would carry it...

Best equivalent that you will be able to buy is Rib Eye. This is a better cut that chuck eye, but is similar physically, in terms of fat distribution.

The rib eye is generally cut from ribs 6 to 12. The chuck eye is the same cut, but further up the ribcage, so smaller and less tender.

Although much decried Wikipedia has some useful guides for the different cuts US/UK & European.
