beef

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.

    Braised beef rolls in tomato sauce

    This meat preparation, usually called ‘braciole al sugo‘, is a dish of Apulian tradition. Although horse meat was originally used for this recipe, nowadays beef or even veal are considered a valid alternatives. https://www.mypinchofitaly.co.uk/2019/06/06/braised-beef-rolls-in-tomato-sauce/

    Best beef for a cottage pie

    Want to make a cottage pie tonight. My supermarket has beef mince that is 15% fat content and also a lean one at 5%. Wondering which one is better. I know the lean one will be healthier but is there enough fat in it. Don't want it to be dry. Also do you have any tips to make it extra tasty?

    Beef Jerky

    Anybody got any recipes for beef jerky out there - NOT using a dehydrator/dryer [if we have to buy one of those we might as well just buy the jerky]. Have seen a few recipes on the net involving drying in the oven so planning to give it a try.
