The Upper Cut KC

We went to Upper Cut today, Sunday 2÷7÷16, to visit with Kelsi and she, very graciously, explained the cuts and demonstrated to us that the cuts I bought are in fact t-​bones and how the filet side can be smaller, dependent on where in the flank the cuts are made, I hope I am repeating that correctly, she also explained that while the previous information we had about t-​bones is true, the steakhouse restaurants don’t fully explain to their patrons how the filet side can be much smaller based on the above. Kelsi also gave us a package of summer sausage that they have begun to make! Thank you Kelsi for your patience and kindness.

We are super happy to have a local butcher shop here in Liberty. The staff knows their profession and products. Their specialized beef selections are unique and taste like heaven! Please come here and support a great small business that represents quality and courtesy.

Been in here several times now and finally a butcher shop/​meat market that can listen and understand what I was looking for. I wanted beef ribs, not short ribs. Kelsi handed me off to Bob the butcher and he did a great job of listening to what I wanted. I wanted someone who would cut traditional beef ribs from the plate, not the chuck. Bob said it was no problem and he went right to work, cutting them exactly how I was hoping and expecting. He even took off the membrane on the back of the ribs as well so I didn’t have to fight doing it myself. If you have never tried Akaushi beef before you should. It’s on the same level as Japanese Kobe, or American Waygu. The beef is prized for it’s fat marbling and anyone who knows anything about beef knows that fat = flavor. This beef is loaded with fat but not the bad kind, the good kind! That is beef code speak for eat this stuff and leave the rest at the supermarket. Now for how it tastes. It definitely has a more buttery taste than traditional beef and if you cook it correctly, it will be the juiciest piece of meat you have ever put in your mouth! It really doesn’t need anything spice wise other than salt & pepper to enhance the flavor because the Akaushi beef is the captain of the ship. Give it a try & you won’t be disappointed or hungry.
