The Importance of Meat Quality in a Good BBQ
Not all BBQs are equal. Sometimes you will go to one and the food smells and looks great but as soon as you start eating you find it is tough and the texture might even be off. That is disappointing, after all, when you are eating BBQ food the meat, its taste, cut and texture are key. You want your Perth smallgoods from your local Perth butcher and the steaks and the rest of the meat to be the best quality.
Find the best butcher Perth has
You should start out finding the best butcher Perth has, as you can trust the meat you get from them. You could get meat from the supermarket but you do not always know where it is from, how long it has been there, and there is often not a skilled butcher to ask advice from. Not all meat is good for grilling. Avoid prepackaged meats and frozen meats as the extra water affects them. Check the flesh looks good, for beef that would mean red. Avoid older animals as their meat is tougher.
Proper storage
Make sure there is no extra juice or water in with the meat and that is has been stored properly. If you are buying meat to barbecue at a later time then store it well in your refrigerator.
Choose the best grade meat
Different meats have their own quality grading systems. Whether you are buying chicken, pork or beef, look for the best quality you can afford. The expense does go up, but it is money well worth spending if you have it, for better tasting meat. When looking for steaks look for some marbling of fat in the meat. It adds to the flavour and to the tenderness of the meat. The juices will stay in the meat as you grill rather than escaping from it. You can find more of a range in graded meat at your Perth butcher shop.
Think about the thickness and cuts
In terms of how they are sliced you want to have evenly cut meat from the best butcher Perth has, as even cuts of thickness mean even cooking. No-one wants a pork chop that is raw at one end and overdone at the other. There are also different cuts suited to grilling and some that are not. Tender cuts are good for BBQs, t bones, strip steaks, rib-eyes, porter house, tenderloin, and filet mignon. Some of those are fairly expensive though. Cuts to avoid are skirt steaks and flank steaks as they are thinner and have less marbling and are tougher. If you are using these as well as Perth smallgoods, then make sure they are marinated and do not cook them too long. 2019-11-25 16:07:46, views: 5475, Comments: 0
