Beef

Beef is the culinary name for meat from bovines, especially domestic cattle. Beef is one of the principal meats used in the cuisine of Middle east, Australia, Argentina, Europe and America, and is also important in Africa, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. Beef is considered a taboo food in some cultures: especially in Indian culture and thence eschewed by Hindus and Jains. Beef is first divided into primal cuts. These are basic sections from which steaks and other subdivisions are cut. Since the animal's legs and neck muscles do the most work, they are the toughest; the meat becomes tenderer as distance from hoof and horn increases. Different countries have different cuts and names. To improve tenderness of beef, it often is aged to allow endogenous proteolytic enzymes to weaken structural and myofibril proteins. Wet aging is accomplished using vacuum packaging to reduce spoilage and yield loss. Dry aging involves hanging usually ribs or loins in humidity-controlled coolers. Outer surfaces dry out and can support growth of moulds resulting in trim and evaporative losses. Evaporation concentrates the remaining proteins and increases flavour intensity; the moulds can contribute a nut-like flavour. The majority of the tenderising effect occurs in the first 10 days, although two to three days allow significant effects. Beef is a good source of minerals such as zinc, selenium, phosphorus, iron, and B vitamins. Red meat is the most significant dietary source of carnitine and, like any other meat pork, fish, veal and lamb is a source of creatine.
