Meat is a type of food that often comes under debate in terms of how to properly cook it, and keep it juicy and flavorful. The flavor and tastes toward meat are as various as the types of people in the world. Meat is barb-b-ques, grilled, eaten raw, fry, roast, boil and fry it. The quest for the best herbs and spices to give it the right punch to your taste buds is endless and timeless. What are Four Tips on Meat Preparation for a an enjoyable meat meal.
- Avoid salt prior to cooking. Kosher Meat is salted when you buy it. However, meat that is not kosher is not. Either way, before cooking the meat refrain from adding salt. Salt draws out the juices from the meat while it is cooking which you actually need. Allow the meat to cook to mid cooking point before adding salt. After the meat has cooked, taste the meat, and see if it needs additional salt, if it does then add more salt.
- The perfect burger. Add some cold water to your medium ground turkey or beef before forming patties to have the juiciest burger. To give your burger more flavor add bar-b-que sauce or a smoke flavor to the meat.
- Tender Roast solution. Most people use water, instead try wine, beer or tea. These liquids actually add a flavor to the meat, and help with tendering.
- Know your flavor source. Ground beef can be bought as medium and lean ground beef. Most people choose lean because it seems to have less fat content. The medium ground beef, has a bit more fat content, but not usually a lot more. Once you cook the ground beef you can pour the excess fat off, and you will still have a low-fat meat product but with more flavor.
When buying fresh meat it can be easier to buy a lot at one time. Keeping meat fresh should be a priority. Wrap plastic around the meat and put it on plate and store it in the refrigerator if you plan to use it immediately. Fresh meat should be frozen or cooked within two to three days after purchasing it. If you place the meat in the freezer remember to wrap it tightly or use freezer bag to lower the chances of freezer burn.
