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.

  9. sunny

    There's got to be an easier way!

    I cook ground beef a lot. And when it's time to drain the fat from the pan, I tip it over and place my spatula over the meat so it doesn't fall out. I run the fat out into a jar, and that's that. But sometimes bits of hamburger will fall out of the pan and either fall into the jar, or onto the...
