Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle
Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle, particularly skeletal muscle. Most beef skeletal muscle meat can be used as is by merely cutting into certain parts, such as roasts, short ribs or steak (filet mignon, sirloin steak, rump steak, rib steak, rib eye steak, hanger steak, etc.), while other cuts are processed (corned beef or beef jerky). Trimmings, on the other hand, are usually mixed with meat from older, leaner (therefore tougher) cattle, are ground, minced or used in sausages. Other parts that are eaten include other muscles and offal, such as the oxtail, liver, tongue, tripe from the reticulum or rumen, glands (particularly the pancreas and thymus, referred to as sweetbread), the heart, the kidneys, and the tender testicles of the bull (known in the US as calf fries, prairie oysters, or Rocky Mountain oysters). Some intestines are cooked and eaten as is, but are more often cleaned and used as natural sausage casings. The bones are used for making beef stock.

Beef production has a high environmental impact per gram of protein.

    Marinade for Beef Steak.

    I came across this beef marinade on the net today. I think it may be Korean. Sliced onion, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, cider vinegar, olive oil, chili powder, lime juice and zest. Too late for this evening's steak but I may try it next time.

    Recipe Beef Brisket Taquitos

    After the uneven results trying to make taquitos for the Cinco de Mayo lunch at work, I decided to try it again, applying what I learned. The filling is what I'm most interested in here. I had 2 pounds of brisket in the freezer from St. Patrick's day. When I made corned beef from this Kroger...

    Beef Tagine

    It turns out that Tagine is both the name of the cooking vessel, and the name of the dish. This made my research into different recipes confusing. I was mostly looking for the best way to use the cooking vessel, but I found a vast range of different things to put in it. So, as I often do, I...

    Beef Suet

    I recently bought 1 kg of frozen beef suet and it's all in one lump. Would it be acceptable to defrost it (or partially defrost it) and thereafter divide it into usable portions for refreezing? My use of beef suet is limited to dumplings (in beef stew) and seasoned bread pudding. Unless...

    How do you build your burger?

    I tend to build my burgers the same with only minor amendments. This one was base, green oak lettuce, beef patty, ketchup/balsamic vinegar (70/30), pickled jalapeños, mid section, sliced tomatoes, raw onion and then the lid. Sometimes I add a fried or poached egg before the lid.

    Access to decent beef where I live in Nakhorn Nowhere has be severely restricted in the past. However, recently we have a new supplier on the block who delivers fortnightly and, although it's not Aberdeen Angus, the filet mignon is perfectly acceptable.

    This is a Greek/Turkish style dish. Cinnamon is the key to the taste here. Its a spice I often forget about and only remember when making apple pies. But the Greeks know that cinnamon works brilliantly with meat. I served this with a Greek salad incorporating salty Feta cheese and black olives...

    Inspired by @kgord 's unofficial poll about chicken, which has produced some surprising and interesting results, I wondered how often in a week people eat ground beef (minced beef, beef mince, hamburger beef). I think maybe I use it on average once a fortnight. I prefer ground lamb as it seems...

    Recipe Asian style Beef with Peppers and Sweet Potato

    This is a recipe I've been working on for a while as a 'bifurcating' recipe. Sounds a bit rude! But what I mean is that I cook it for meat lovers and vegetarians using the same basic processes. The vegetarian version is virtually identical in method. It looks every bit as pretty and takes a lot...
