Choosing & preparing beef
How to choose
Tender cuts (sirloin, ribeye) suit quick cooking; tougher, collagen-rich cuts (chuck, brisket, shin) are built for stews and braises. Look for bright-red colour and fine marbling.
Prep & storage
Season generously and let steaks come to room temperature before searing. Rest cooked beef 5–10 minutes so the juices redistribute; slice against the grain to keep it tender.
When is it done?
Steaks: 52°C / 125°F for rare up to 71°C / 160°F for well done. Ground beef should always reach 71°C / 160°F.
Nutrition
An excellent source of complete protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12; leaner cuts keep saturated fat in check.
Classic flavour partners: onion, garlic, red wine, black pepper, mushrooms, rosemary
