Meat RecipesMany cuts of beef are expensive, and as most of us are trying to cut down on red meats, it makes sense to make the best of beef when you do eat it by preparing and cooking it carefully. Choose a good-quality beef, such as steak, for any quick-cook recipes; the cheaper cuts are best for recipes with long, slow cooking times that allow the meat time to tenderize. Trim the meat well before cooking to avoid excess fat. When choosing minced (ground) beef, select those with a lower fat content, or buy from a quality butcher.
Veal is an extremely easy meat to prepare and as it is lean there is little waste. It has a subtle flavor that lends itself well to all kinds of recipes. Veal is readily available in supermarkets, usually as escalope, mince, or cubed meat.
As with pork, it must always be thoroughly cooked, so take care to check that the meat is completely cooked through before serving. A slightly fatty meat, it should be well trimmed and works well when combined with sharper flavors, especially fruits or a little well-chosen alcohol. The leanest cuts of pork can be stir-fried or cooked quickly, but larger cuts should be allowed a longer, slower cooking time. |
