Residual Heat or Carry-Over Cooking: Remember, the steak will continue to cook as it sets. The temperature will rise 5 degrees F. to 10 degrees F. internal temperature. So, pay attention to how long you let the cooked meat sit before serving. Carry-over cooking is caused by residual heat transferring from the hotter exterior of the meat to the cooler center. As a general rule, the larger and thicker the cut of meat, and the higher the cooking temperature, the more residual heat will be in the meat, and the more the internal temperature will rise during resting due to carry-over cooking. This means the meat must be removed from the heat at an internal temperature lower than your desired final internal temperature, allowing the residual heat to finish the cooking. deep red color and barely 80 to 100 degrees F feels soft and squishy Extra-rare or Blue (bleu) warm 26 to 38 degrees C Rare 120 to 125 degrees F center is bright red, pinkish soft to touch 49 to 51 degrees C toward the exterior portion, and warm throughout center is very pink, slightly yields only slightly to Medium Rare 130 to 135 degrees F brown toward the exterior the touch, beginning 55 to 57 degrees C portion, and slightly hot to firm up center is light pink, outer yields only slightly to Medium 140 to 145 degrees F portion is brown, and hot the touch, beginning 60 to 63 degrees C throughout to firm up mostly gray-brown 150 to 155 degrees F firm to touch Medium Well throughout with a hint of 65 to 69 degrees C pink in the center Well Done 160 degrees F and above steak is uniformly brown or firm or hard to touch 71 degrees C grey throughout 165 to 175 degrees F If the meat pulls apart easily, Brisket 74 to 79 degrees C the brisket is ready to serve.

  • Where's the Beef? Communicating Vegetarianism in Mainstream America
    Where’s the Beef? Communicating Vegetarianism in Mainstream America ALLISON WALTER Produced in Mary Tripp’s Spring 2013 ENC 1102 Introduction “Engaging in non-mainstream behavior can be challenging to negotiate communicatively, especially when it involves the simple but necessary task of eating, a lifelong activity that is often done in others’ company,” argue researchers Romo and Donovan-Kicken (405). This can be especially true for vegetarians in America. The American view of a good and balanced meal includes a wide array of meats that have become standard on most all of the country's dinner tables. When it comes to eating in American society today, fruits and vegetables come to mind as side dishes or snacks, not the main course. Vegetarians challenge this expectation of having meat as an essential component of survival by adopting a lifestyle that no longer conforms to the norms of society as a whole. Although vegetarians can be seen as “healthy deviants”—people who violate social norms in relatively healthy ways—they are faced with the burden of stigmatization by those who cannot see past their views of conformity (Romo and Donovan-Kicken 405). This can lead to a continuous battle for vegetarians where they are questioned and scrutinized for their decisions only because they are not the same as many of their peers. The heaviest load that individuals who decide to deviate from the norms of a given society have to carry is attempting to stay true to themselves in a world that forces them to fit in. Culture, Society, and Food One of the largest and most complex factors that contribute to food choice is society and the cultures within that society that certain groups of people hold close to them (Jabs, Sobal, and Devine 376).

  • Factors Affecting the Palatability of Lamb Meat
    Factors Affecting the Palatability of Lamb Meat Susan K. Duckett University of Georgia Introduction In the last 43 years, per capita consumption of lamb in the United States has declined to a level of 0.81 lb per person annually on a boneless, retail weight basis (CattleFax, 2003; Figure 1). In contrast, per capita consumption of total meat products has increased 28% to about 194 lb per person annually in this same time period (Figure 2). In 2003, per capita consumption of beef, pork, poultry and fish products was estimated at 62, 48, 68,and 15 lb (boneless, retail weight basis), respectively. These consumption patterns indicate that Americans continue to consume greater amounts of meat in their diet; however, lamb consumption continues to decline. In a survey conducted of 600 households (Ward et al., 1995; Tulsa, OK), consumers were asked to rank seven meats including beef, chicken, fish, lamb, pork, turkey, and veal on taste, cholesterol content, nutritional content, economic value, fat, convenience, and overall preference (scale: 1st would be most desirable and 7th would be least desirable for these traits). Consumers identified taste as one of the most important factors when purchasing meat and ranked lamb last (lowest preference) among the seven meats for taste and overall preference (Table 1). Consumers ranked lamb 5th for cholesterol level, 6th for nutritional content, and 5th for fat level. Lamb is higher in polyunsaturated fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (anticarcinogen), and lower in total fat content than grain-fed beef (Figure 3); however, most consumers appear unaware of potential nutritional benefits from including lamb in the diet.

  • Spicy Beef Tongue Stew
    Spicy Beef Tongue Stew Serves six 1 beef tongue – trimmed 1 celery stalk 1 small carrot – halved 2 garlic cloves – peeled and smashed + 1 for the chilies 4 fresh thyme sprigs 1 small white onion – peeled and halved + ½ for the chilies 1 chili pepper – halved 6 red chilies (aji Colorado or aji Panka) or 3 Guajillos, 3 Ancho and 3 chile Arbol 1 TBS cumin 1 tsp. salt 1/8 cup canola oil ¼ cup peas (can be thawed frozen ones or fresh) 1 large carrot – peeled and cut into sticks Salt & Pepper Rinse the trimmed beef tongue and place it in a pressure cooker. Add the celery, onion, carrot, garlic cloves, thyme and chili pepper. Cook for about 1 hour – after the pressure cooker starts making noise. While the tongue is cooking – stem the dry chili pods. Cut them in the middle and seed them. Char them by placing them directly on an open flame. If you do not have a gas stove, go ahead and press them down on a dry, hot skillet until they blister. Place the charred chilies in a bowl and cover with water. Soak for about 25 to 30 minutes. Once soaked, place them in a blender with the remaining onion, garlic and cumin. Add about 1 cup of the soaking liquid and blend until you have a smooth paste with no chili chunks. Once the tongue is cooked – cool down the pressure cooker completely and remove them. Do not discard the cooking liquid. Cool them down and peel them by pulling on the skin and membrane on the meat.

Some are surprised at the quantity of meat and amount of freezer space they need. Others may be surprised that they did not get the entire live weight of the animal in meat cuts. The amount of meat actually available from a beef animal is a frequent source of misunderstanding between consumers, processors and cattle producers. This document provides information to assist in the understanding of how much meat to expect from a beef carcass. The information provided here should be helpful to consumers who purchase a live animal for freezer beef and to cattle producers involved in direct and retail meat marketing. 2 University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture How Much Meat to Expect from a Beef Carcass Dressing Percentage One of the terms used in the cattle and meat cutting industry that often leads to misunderstanding is dressing percentage. The dressing percentage is the portion of the live animal weight that results in the hot carcass.

  • Tongue by Jennifer Mclagan from Odd Bits: How to Cook
    Tongue By Jennifer McLagan from Odd Bits: How to Cook the Rest of the Animal How to Choose: The world of tongues is vast. Duck tongues, popular in Asian cuisines, are tiny and have a small bone that makes them fiddly. In this section, I limit myself to beef, veal, lamb, and pork tongues; if you have access to game animals, don’t hesitate to use their tongues in these recipes. The bigger the tongue, the coarser its texture, so I prefer tongues around 31/3 pounds /1.5 kg or less, as their texture is finer. While veal tongues are the most prized, beef, lamb, and pork tongues are all worth eating. Tongues can be bought fresh, frozen, brined, and sometimes smoked. Often your only choice will be a frozen one, especially with beef or veal tongue. The color of a tongue can vary from pink with a gray cast to almost all gray. Sometimes the skin of the tongue is quite mottled, often with odd dark spots. The color and the dark patches are no indication of quality; they are just a result of the animal’s breed. Tongues have a thick, bumpy skin, and often there is fat and gristle still attached at the base of the tongue, none of which is very appealing and all of which is easily removed after the tongue is poached. Besides availability, taste and size will influence your choice. Veal and lamb tongues are the mildest in taste, followed by beef and pork tongue. Pork tongue often comes with the head, and I prefer it in headcheese rather than by itself.
