| | Beef is a meat of cattle.
Beef is divided into 3 grades. Dorsal, thoracic parts, fillet,
sirloin, rump; scapular and leg portions and flank belong to grade 2;
chuck, front and rear shanks belong to third.
Beef, obtained from beef breed cattle is very valued and more so,
delicate veal – obtained from bull-calves and cow calves.
Use in food:
Beef is consumed in fried, boiled, stewed, smoked form and also sent
for the production of minced meat for cutlets and hamburgers. It is
better to use rump with bone, which is also called “sugar” and also
rear portion of rump, sirloin with bone, scapular and leg portions of
carcass to prepare transparent bouillons and majority of soups. Fatty
meat (front portion of brisket, the so called “Brisket”) is required
to prepare cabbage soup and borshch (beetroot soup). Soup, is
prepared from rear shank, however, it is necessary to note, that this
part of carcass takes longer time to cook and quite often, soup from
rear shank acquires specific smell and glutinosity, characteristic for
jelly. Soups are also prepared from rib section of scapular portion of
carcass and flank.
It is better to prepare fried meat dishes from fillet steak, loin,
inner parts of rump (so called “Silverside”), top portion of chuck and
also steak (clod, located along vertebra).
Stewed meat can be prepared from external part of rump and from front
portion of brisket. Beef stroganoff can be prepared from internal
portion of rump and top portion of haunch.
For minced products — cutlets, meatballs, zrazy, meatballs, roulette,
for minced meat and stuffing’s — bottom portion of haunch, rump, leg
portions, flank, pulp from shank and zrazy. Jelly is prepared from
shank.
Food bans and restrictions:
Traditionally, food containing beef is avoided by Indians as token of
respect to sacred cow.
