Cooking Meat: Step by Step Guidelines Courtesy of H-E-B Culinary Department Follow these steps for cooking meat to ensure the best results. 1. Select a cooking method for the cut, tenderness and thickness to prepare flavorful, juicy and tender meat. 2. Use a meat thermometer as the best guide for checking doneness. It measures internal temperature. 3. Tender cuts from the rib and loin are low in connective tissue and are therefore well suited to these dry-heat cooking methods. Broil4. Less tender cuts, generally beef cuts from the chuck and round, are best suited to these moist-heat cooking methods to improve tenderness through the action of steam on connective tissue. Braise5. Today's modern meats are leaner and will be more tender, flavorful and juicy when cooked to lower doneness, such as Medium-Rare and Medium. Over-cooking (to Medium-Well and higher) dries and toughens the meat. |
