Colita de cuadril is an Argentinian beef cut that is equivalent to the US tri-tip, bottom sirloin, and tip roast cut. It&rsquo;s a very versatile piece of meat, and it can be grilled, smoked, braised, and roasted and used to make a variety of dishes, like hamburgers, stir-fries, and kebabs. Also, it soaks up any spices and marinades extremely well and is very, very affordable. Prior to preparation, the meat should be well trimmed, but not in the sense that everything has to be removed, as it will benefit from a little self-basting during grilling. It can be grilled whole, butterflied, or cut into steaks. Due to its uneven thickness and the fact that it tends to curl up during grilling, it&rsquo;s difficult to determine when it&rsquo;s done, so it&rsquo;s best to gauge the doneness with a thumb test. It needs to be grilled low and slow, as it tends to get tough very easily.

Collier in French butchery refers to the neck cut of beef. This is a tougher, more muscular part of the cow, as it's a region that gets a lot of exercise. Due to this, the neck or collier cut has a deep, rich flavor and is packed with connective tissue that breaks down into gelatin when cooked slowly, which can add body and richness to the dish. The collier is ideal for slow cooking methods such as stewing or braising. These techniques allow the tough fibers in the meat to break down over time, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. This cut is often used in dishes like beef stew, soup, or in the preparation of ground beef.

Colonial goose is a dish from New Zealand that has been invented in the 19th century by British settlers in an attempt to reproduce meals from their homeland with ingredients that were available at their new place of living. Since goose was expensive and scarce, and lamb and mutton plentiful and abundant, available to every social class, the settlers would eat meat for almost every meal. To prepare the goose lookalike, lamb or mutton leg is deboned and stuffed with a mixture of honey, dried apricots, breadcrumbs, and onions, then seasoned with parsley, thyme, or sage. The stuffed meat is then tied to resemble a goose, placed in a marinade based on red wine, and roasted in the oven for approximately two hours. This dish was extremely popular during the 1980s and has since become a well-known classic, often prepared at midwinter festivities. Once cooked, the string is removed, and thin slices of meat are traditionally served with a side of pumpkins and potatoes.

Cơm g&agrave; Tam Kỳ is a traditional dish originating from the beach town of Tam Kỳ, hence the name. The dish is assembled in layers, with yellow-tinted rice that's cooked in chicken broth, aromatic herbs, and chicken that's boiled with ginger, turmeric, and green onions, then shredded.

This French classic is made by slow-roasting duck meat in its own fat. What was once used as a method of preserving meat in times before refrigeration is nowadays enjoyed as a rich and flavorful dish of its own. The meat is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs and spices such as thyme and bay leaves. Traditionally, duck confit is cooked in a copper pot over a fire for up to 24 hours, in order for the fat to render and cover the meat. After cooking, while still hot, the meat and the fat are poured into jars and sealed tightly so that the dish can be stored for later use. The name confit stems from the past participle of the French verb confire, meaning to preserve. Duck confit is so rich and savory that it is usually served on its own, without sauce. However, a side of puy lentils makes an excellent accompaniment to this dish.
