Meat Dish

France

<p>Barboton is a traditional stew from Saint-Etienne, France, made with lamb (fricass&eacute;), diced potatoes, and carrots. The unique aspect of this dish is its cooking method and duration: all ingredients are cooked together in a cast iron casserole dish for at least two hours over low heat. This slow cooking process allows the potatoes and carrots to soak up the meat juices, resulting in a richly flavored, tender stew. Historically, this dish was reserved for Sundays as lamb was considered a luxury meat in the working-class Saint-Etienne region. The stew is also a favorite in Lyon.</p>

<p>Japanese basashi is an unusual dish which incorporates thin slices of raw horse meat. It belongs to the popular and broad group of sashimi dishes and is considered to be a unique Japanese delicacy. Horse meat is usually leaner than other, more traditional types, it has a slightly sweet flavor, and depending on the maturity, its color can range from pink to dark red. Traditionally, three different meat cuts are used to prepare basashi. One variety includes completely trimmed meat, without any excess fat on the meat or around the meat pieces. It comes thinly sliced and has a slightly tougher texture. With an appealing color combination and perfect texture, one of the favorite options is the cut which includes meat pieces thoroughly marbled with fatty streaks. The rarest one is the incredibly soft, extremely fatty cut, usually taken from the neck of the animal. Although an unusual ingredient in the global gastronomy, horse meat is a tradition in Japanese culture. It is often associated with the prefecture of Kumamoto, but it can occasionally be found in other Japanese regions. The popularity of horse meat has grown since the end of the First World War, after which it became an increasingly common household ingredient. Nowadays, basashi can be found in many izayaka bars served alongside soy sauce, grated ginger, and garlic. It is usually paired with sake, the traditional Japanese rice wine.</p>

<p>Basses c&ocirc;tes in French butchery refers to a cut that's equivalent to the chuck short ribs in American butchery. This cut is located in the forequarter of the cow, specifically in the lower rib area. The basses c&ocirc;tes are a flavorful and somewhat fatty cut of beef, often used in slow cooking methods like stewing or braising. The fat content and connective tissues break down over time, which results in a tender, flavorful dish. This cut is often used in traditional French dishes like beef bourguignon. It's also well-suited for barbecuing or grilling, as the marbling in the meat can provide a lot of flavors.</p>

<p>Bavette d&rsquo;aloyau in French butchery refers to a rear part of flank, a cut of beef taken from the abdominal muscles of the cow. The term "bavette" comes from the French word for "bib," which is a reference to the long, flat shape of this cut. Bavette d&rsquo;aloyau is known for its strong beef flavor and relatively tough texture, due to the amount of physical activity this muscle area gets. It contains a lot of tough fibers and has little fat marbling, making it less tender than other cuts. However, if it's marinated before cooking and then cooked to medium-rare, it can be quite tender and flavorful. It's also crucial to cut it against the grain to shorten the muscle fibers and enhance its tenderness. The bavette d&rsquo;aloyau is often used in dishes that require marinating and quick cooking, such as grilling or broiling. It's a popular choice for dishes like fajitas, London broil, and various stir-fry dishes.</p>

<p>Bebek betutu is a traditional Balinese dish consisting of duck that is thoroughly marinated in spice mixture that includes ingredients such as turmeric, ginger, galangal, garlic, shallots, chili peppers, and sometimes shrimp paste, all ground together to form a paste. The duck is then wrapped in banana leaves (and sometimes additionally in aluminum foil or a bamboo sheath) and slowly roasted or sometimes steamed for several hours. This slow-cooking process allows the meat to become exceptionally tender and the flavors of the spices to deeply infuse the duck. Bebek betutu is considered a ceremonial dish, often served at special occasions and religious ceremonies in Bali, but it can also be found in Balinese restaurants and warungs (local eateries).</p>

<p>Beef bourguignon is a rich and complex stew originating from the region of Burgundy in France. The star of the dish is a robust red Burgundy wine, which is used to soften and tenderize tough cuts of Charolais beef, along with savory additions such as carrots, onions, garlic, thyme, and mushrooms. The ingredients are simmered for a long time until the meat is completely soft and succulent, and all the juices have blended into a hearty, dark sauce. Some say that the dish tastes even better after it has been refrigerated for 24 hours and then reheated. Beef bourguignon dates back to the Middle Ages, when the slow-cooking process was used to soften tougher cuts of meat using only the ingredients that were readily available. Pairing a serving of beef bourguignon with a full-bodied red Burgundy makes for a true gourmet delight.</p>

<p>Beef &amp; broccoli is an American dish consisting of pieces of flank steak that are stir-fried with broccoli and seasoned with a Chinese-style sauce made with oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch.

<p>In the American system of primal beef cuts, the flank refers to the area right below the loin, and it stretches across the belly near the rear of the cow. It's a long, flat cut of beef that's very lean and contains a lot of tough fibers. Given its toughness and pronounced grain structure, flank steak is often marinated to tenderize it and then grilled or broiled quickly over high heat. It's important to slice this cut across the grain to break up the muscle fibers and make it easier to chew. Flank steak is popular in a variety of dishes, including fajitas, stir-fries, and London broil. It's also the traditional cut used for corned beef. Additionally, the flank is where "flap meat" comes from, which is a smaller cut within the flank that's often used similarly to flank steak. It's worth noting that even though flank steak is lean and tough, it's also known for its rich, deep, beefy flavor. So, despite needing some careful handling, it's a favorite for many beef lovers.</p>

<p>In the American system of primal beef cuts, the plate is a cut from the front belly of the cow, situated below the rib cut and between the brisket and flank. This cut is known for being quite fatty, which lends itself to certain types of cooking methods. The plate cut contains a good deal of tough connective tissue, so it is typically cooked with slow, moist-heat methods to tenderize the meat and render the fat. It can also be used in dishes where the fat content adds flavor, such as in ground beef for burgers. Some of the specific cuts that come from the plate include short ribs, skirt steak, and the hanger steak.</p>

<p>In the American system of primal beef cuts, ribs refer to the section of the cow that includes the sixth through the twelfth ribs, located between the chuck (shoulder area) and the loin (back area). This primal cut can be further divided into a few different sub-primal cuts. For example, ribeye roast and ribeye steaks are obtained when the bone is removed. These cuts are highly prized for their excellent marbling and tenderness. Prime rib includes a larger section of the rib bone, often roasted with the bone in. Finally, the back ribs are left when the ribeye meat is removed. They have less meat than short ribs but can be quite tender and flavorful. Ribs are often cooked using slow methods such as roasting, grilling, or smoking to break down the connective tissue and fat, resulting in a tender, flavorful piece of meat.</p>
