There are various cuts of beef from different parts of the cow, and beef provides nutrients like protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Beef can be cooked using moist heat methods like braising or dry heat methods like grilling, and the doneness depends on the cooking method and desired internal temperature or texture.

of meat, date received and the number of meat tag.
8. The package must be put on shelves with a notation visible.

marked in the same manner as desired.
10. For proper air circulation and easier removal of case of meat for issuing pieces of wood must be
placed between the cases.

14. Meat is cooked for various
reasons:
(MEAT COOKERY)
1. To improve it’s palatability quality
2. To increase tenderness
3. For sanitary purposes

16. •Moist heat cooking is simply that:
techniques that involve cooking with
moisture to transfer heat to the meat, such
as steam, water, stock, or wine.
 Typically, moist heat techniques are
used for beef cuts that are low in fat and/or
high in connective tissues.
 Moist heat cooking methods include
braising or pot roast, and stewing.

17. •Dry heat cooking is similarly face
value. Dry heat cooking techniques transfer
heat to meat without any moisture, either
through fat (such as pan frying) or
indirect/direct application of radiant heat (such
as grilling).
 Dry heat cooking is best for more delicate
cuts of meat, the ones that come from the less
exercised parts of the animal. Dry heat
methods add robust flavor.
 Dry heat cooking techniques for beef
include barbecuing/smoking, grilling/broiling,
pan frying, pan searing, roasting, and stir frying

18. Doneness
• Doneness depends on the type of cooking used:
1. Dry Cooking, the meat is done when the proteins have reached the
right degree of coagulation as indicated by internal temperature.
2. Moist Heat Cooking, is when connective tissues have broken down
for the meat to be fork tender. Meat cooked by moist heat is always
well done.

19. MOIST HEAT COOKING VS. DRY HEAT COOKING

22. In fact....
Technically, barbecuing or smoking beef is
different than grilling. Barbecuing involves
cooking for very long periods of time using
indirect, low-heat. Barbecuing is typically
done over logs or wood chips that smoke the
food.
Best cuts of beef for
barbecuing/smoking: whole rump, brisket,
shoulder, short ribs, prime rib, ribeye.
