Beef

Beef is one of the most popular and versatile meats, offering a variety of cuts that cater to different cooking methods and flavours.

The primary cuts of beef come from different sections of the cow, each with its own texture and tenderness.

For example, the ribeye is known for its rich marbling and tenderness, making it ideal for grilling or browning. The filet mignon, cut from the tenderloin, is exceptionally tender but lean, often served as a high-end steak.

The sirloin provides a balance of tenderness and flavour, making it great for grilling or roasting.

The brisket, a tougher cut from the chest, is best when slow-cooked or smoked to achieve a tender texture.

The chuck comes from the shoulder and is commonly used for pot roasts or minced/ground beef due to its rich flavour. Other cuts, such as the flank and short ribs, are excellent for marinating and slow cooking.

Each cut of beef offers unique flavours and textures, making it suitable for a wide range of culinary dishes.
