Easy Meat Cooking Recipes

About Easy Meat Cooking Recipes Android App

I used to be intimidated by the idea of cooking meat. I shied away from the meat department at grocery stores because the selection was overwhelming, and I wasn’t confident in my own cooking abilities. I didn’t understand the differences between the steaks, nor the right way to cook the different cuts of meat.

So, I decided to change all that. I set about educating myself on all things meat-related, particularly beef (which is my personal favourite). I learned how to cook it, where it comes from, which are the best tasting cuts, which are the most economical but flavourful cuts, the difference between grass- and grain-fed meats, understanding various breeds of animal, and so much more.

HOW TO USE THIS APP

* Though temperatures in the app are given in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, I prefer to cook using Fahrenheit, particularly for internal meat temperatures. As it has a broader scale than Celsius, Fahrenheit offers more precise measurements, which are particularly important when referring to degrees of doneness.

* I use coarse Morton kosher salt for all my recipes (some salts are ‘saltier’ than others, as explained further here ). If you can’t find kosher salt, I recommend sea salt flakes (which you can easily crush with your fingers) as an alternative.

* When you see the term ‘grilling’ in this app, it refers to direct heat cooking over coals or propane/gas. ‘Barbecue’ refers to low and slow cooking with indirect heat.

* I prefer to use cast-iron skillets and heavy-based enamelled cast-iron pots for most of my stovetop cooking, unless otherwise specified.

Here’s to good cooking and great meals.
