Butcher IQ: Meat Identifier AI
Analyze steaks and get recipes
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad
Snap a photo of any cut and get instant ID, quality scoring, and cooking guides. Ribeye, brisket, tenderloin—ButcherIQ knows them all.
Standing at the meat counter confused? Staring at eight different steaks with no idea which one's actually worth your money? Yeah, been there.
ButcherIQ turns your phone into an expert butcher. Snap a photo of any cut — packaged or at the counter — and instantly know exactly what you're looking at, how good it actually is, and the best way to cook it.
IDENTIFY ANY CUT IN SECONDS
Point your camera at that mystery meat and get answers. Ribeye? Strip? Flank? ButcherIQ identifies the cut and tells you everything you need to know — where it comes from on the animal, what makes it special, and whether the price tag is justified.
ASSESS QUALITY LIKE A PRO
Marbling score. Color analysis. Fat distribution. USDA grade estimation. All the stuff butchers know instinctively, now in your pocket. No more guessing if that "Choice" label is actually worth the premium over Select. See the real quality indicators that matter.
MASTER ANY COOKING METHOD
Pick your style — grill, sous vide, reverse sear, pan sear, smoker — and get a guide built specifically for your cut. Temps, times, rest periods, the whole deal. Different cuts need different approaches, and ButcherIQ knows the difference between cooking a ribeye and a flank steak.
