Beef, round
The round is exactly where you think it would be because of the name, the butt of the cow. When you’re thinking of beef jerky, this is where the meat is found. Since the round of the cow gets more exercise than the other parts of the cow, expect the meat too tough and lean. The round can also be separated into the knuckle, top round, or bottom round. The meat found here is one of the best for cutting into thin slices and using for sandwiches or roast beef. Though, don’t expect as much collagen from slow-cooking as you would a cow chuck.
