“Claim your steak”

Hello Strands fans! Today, Strands is a puzzle for carnivores, especially those who enjoy beef Fortunately, I am among them, despite my efforts over the past few years to become a flexitarian

I soon found RIBEYE in the bottom right corner And that meant I was looking for other cuts, starting with SIRLOIN, which I soon found in the upper left CHUCK and SHANK soon followed to the right of it

Since “steak” was not part of the spangram, I realized I was looking for something that included “beef”

Three answers remained in the bottom half: finding FLANK just below the beginning of the spangram, and ROUND below that This left BRISKET between my existing answers and allowed me to complete the puzzle fairly quickly
