During butchering, beef is first divided into primal cuts, pieces of meat initially separated from the carcass. These are basic sections from which steaks and other subdivisions are cut. Since the animal's legs and neck muscles do the most work, they are the toughest; the meat becomes more tender as distance from hoof and horn increases.
A hanger steak (US), also known as butcher's steak, hanging tenderloin, skirt (UK), or onglet, is a cut of beef steak prized for its flavor and tenderness. This cut is taken from the plate , which is the upper belly of the animal.

Beef plate (also known as the short plate) is a forequarter cut from the abdomen of the cow, just below the rib cut. It is typically a cheap, tough, and fatty meat. In U.K. butchery, this cut is considered part of the brisket. [1] [2] [3] It is used for short ribs and two kinds of steak: skirt and hanger.

British cuts of beef, showing the various cuts of short ribs. Short ribs, by definition, are not the entire length of rib. When the rib bone is cut into a 3-to-6-inch (7.6 to 15.2 cm) length, [9] [8] left as a section of meat (a "plate") containing three or four ribs [10] or cut into individual ribs with meat attached, the short rib is known as an "English cut".
