Cook Meat

 Meat
• refers to the edible flesh
of animals
• is animal flesh that is
eaten as food

• What we eat are the muscles of animals
• Meat and poultry are excellent nutrient sources of:
– Protein (builds and repairs body tissue, makes you
feel fuller longer)
– Iron (helps carry oxygen to body tissues through
blood, helps produce energy)
– B vitamins (support metabolism, maintain healthy
skin and muscle tone, enhance immune system
function, promote cell growth)

Composition:
Meat consist of :
Water – 75%
Protein – 19%
Intramuscular fat – 2.5 %
Carbohydrates – 2.3%

Principles of
Meat
Preparation

High Heat Develops Flavor
The Maillard reaction occurs when the
amino acids and sugars in the food are
subjected to heat, which causes them to
combine. In turn, hundreds of different flavor
compounds are created. These compounds
break down to form yet more new flavor
compounds, and so on, and so on.

Low Heat Preserves Moisture
For large cuts of meat or poultry, we often
advocate a low-and-slow cooking
method. This approach allows the center
to come up to the desired internal
temperature with less risk of overcooking
the outer layers.

Match the Cut to the Cooking Method
Tender cuts with little connective tissue
generally come from parts of the animal that
receive little exercise (like the loin, the area
along the back of the cow or pig). These cuts
respond best to quicker, dry-heat cooking
methods, such as grilling or roasting.

Don’t Forget About Carryover Cooking
Since the temperature of meat will continue to
rise as it rests, an effect called carryover
cooking, meat should be removed from the
oven, grill, or pan when it’s 5 to 10 degrees
below the desired serving temperature.
Carryover cooking doesn’t apply to poultry and
fish.

Why Resting Meat Is Essential
The purpose of resting meat is to allow the
juices, which are driven to the center during
cooking, to redistribute themselves throughout
the meat. As a result, meat that has rested will
shed much less juice than meat sliced straight
after cooking.

Where we buy meat

Meat today…
• Boneless cuts (beef, pork and
lamb) – economical and suitable for
quick and easy methods of cooking,
e.g. grilling.
• Boned and rolled joints of
meat – smaller joints to reduce
cooking time and making it easier to
carve.
• Lean and extra lean cuts –
trimmed cuts of meat which are
lower in fat.

Meat today…
• Cubes of meat – sold cut
into cubes, ready for making
stews, kebabs and casseroles.
• Lean minced meat – meat
is trimmed of fat and minced.
• Thin strips – meat is pre-
cut into strips, suitable for
quick cooking methods, e.g.
stir-frying.

Easy Ways
to Tenderize
Tough Cuts
of Meat

Mechanical
Method

Just beat it
Pounding meat with
a mallet is a
surprisingly effective
way to tenderize it.
The downside is that
it can actually work
too well, turning your
meat into mush.

Slice it right
Slicing cooked
steak thinly. The
idea is to break up
the long, tough
meat fibers so they
are shorter and
thus easier to
chew.

Marinate
with acid
Acids can help break
down tough meat.
Soaking meat in a
marinade made with
lemon or lime juice,
buttermilk or even
yogurt can help
tenderize tough
proteins.

Marinate with
enzymes
Several fruits,
such as papaya,
pineapple, kiwi
and Asian pear,
contain enzymes
that help
tenderize meat.

Salt it
Heavily salting a
tough cut of meat
and letting it sit an
hour or two before
you cook it is an
effective way to
break down tough
muscle fibers, no
fussy marinade
needed.

Slow-cook it
Cooking tough cuts of
meat with low-
temperature heat over
a long period of time is
a great way to
tenderize it. Tough
fibers, collagen and
connective tissues will
break down, leaving
you with tender meat.

Basic Preparation
Methods of Meat

1. Washing Generally, the
only occasion in which you
will have to wash meat is
when it comes into contact
with blood during
preparation. After washing,
dry the food thoroughly with
absorbent kitchen paper.

2. Skinning Most of the meat
you dealt with has been already
skinned by the supplier.
3. Dicing Meat are diced when
it is cut into cubes for various
types of casseroles, stems,
curries, and dishes such as
steak, kidney pie and pudding.

4. Trimming Reasons for trimming:
a.Improve the appearance of the cut or
joint
b. Leave as much of the meat intact as
possible.
c. Leave an even thickness of fat (where
fat is to be left). How much fat you trim off
will depend on the type of meat,
preference, and the cooking process to be
used. d. Remove as much gristles and
sinews as possible.

5. Slicing It is the cutting of meat
by determining the direction of the
grain (the muscle fibers), and cut
across the grain. This is
particularly important with tougher
cuts such as steak, in which the
grain is also quite obvious.You
slice meat with―instead of
against―the grain.

6. Seasoning It is the addition of salt and
white or black pepper to improve the flavor
of food.
a. Use white pepper or cayenne pepper
on food which you want to keep attractive
with white color. b. Add salt to roast and
grill after the meat has browned. Adding
salt before cooking will extract the juices
of the meat to the surface, and slows
down the browning reactions (which need
high temperature and dry heat).

7. Coating The two basic coatings
are:
a.Flour – coat the meat before
cooking, otherwise the flour becomes
sticky and unpleasant.
b. Bread crumbs – coat the meat in
flour, then egg wash (egg wash is
made of lightly beaten whole egg
with a little water/milk) and finally
with the bread crumbs.

Methods of cooking meat
1.Dry heat cooking, such as
roasting, broiling, or sautéing.
2. Moist heat cooking, like
braising, steaming, or poaching.

Dry heat cooking
Dry heat cooking refers to any
cooking technique where the heat
is transferred to the food item
without using any moisture. Dry-
heat cooking typically involves
high heat, with
temperatures of 300°F
or hotter.

Mari nades

Mar inades
Good marinade will add
flavor to your favorite meat
and make it more tender and
juicy. Making a marinade is
very simple.

The first, is an ACID, such as lemon juice,
vinegar, yogurt, or wine. The acid is
important as it breaks down the meat and
tenderizes it.
The second, is OIL. This protects and
preserves the food while marinated and also
when it‘s being cooked.
The third, is any HERB AND/OR SPICE. This is
what gives a marinade its unique flavor and
zest.

Types of
Marinades

Pork Chop Marinade
This is a great Asian style
marinade that works well on all
cuts of pork, particularly pork
chops, reminiscent of a Teriyaki
marinade with a hint of heat from
the chili sauce.

•2 tbsp sugar
•salt and ground black pepper to
taste
•2 pounds pork tenderloin

Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, garlic,
mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Place the pork loin in a large resealable plastic
bag and pour in the marinade.
Marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour
before cooking.
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175
degrees C).
Transfer the pork loin to a baking dish; pour
marinade over the pork.
Cook in the preheated oven until the pork is
no
longer pink in the center.

Jamaican Jerk Marinade
You've heard of Jerk
seasonings and Jerk rubs, well
this is a jerk marinade that
gets that jerk flavor deep into
the meat.

½- medium onion coarsely chopped
4 medium scallions green onions chopped
2-3 Tablespoons Fresh Thyme
1½ tablespoons fresh ginger chopped
8 Garlic cloves chopped

½ Tablespoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Honey
2 Tablespoons Maggi Sauce or Soy sauce
1 Tablespoon bouillon powder such as knorr
1 cup Fresh Mango, Pineapple(optional)
1 or more Scotch Bonnet Pepper adjust to taste

Instructions
In a food processor combine all the ingredients. Adjust
for taste and heat level with more or less spice.
Refrigerate and use when ready.
Recipe Notes
If it is your first time working with Hot peppers use
gloves.
For a more intense Jerk Flavor leave out the fruits and
use less than half of the onions.
Since scotch bonnet pepper are hard to find here in the
U.S. Substitute Scotch bonnet pepper with Habanero
pepper. Or for am milder taste use habanero peppers
and leave out the seeds.
You can easily make this paleo by omitting the sugar
and using honey and/ or coconut sugar instead

Methods of
Preserving Meat

A.Drying – This is the most common
method of preserving meat. Drying
involves the reduction of the original 70%
of water content of the meat to about
15%.
B. Smoking – Meat is smoked to create a
distinctive color and flavor, thus helping its
preservation. The flavor, color, and
attractive glaze on the surface of the meat
is desired like in ham, bacon, and tinapA.

C. Curing – In this method, salt, sugar,
potassium or sodium nitrate, and other
curing elements such as ascorbic acid,
phosphate blend, and spices are used
to prolong the keeping quality of meat.
D. Refrigerating – Meat is stored at a
temperature range of 2 to 10ºC to
retard mold and bacterial growth for a
limited period.

E. Freezing – Meat is preserved at a
temperature of 10ºC and below. Freezing
deactivates enzymes and bacteria. Meat
can be preserved for two months to one
year using this method.
F. Canning – Meat preserved by canning is
packed in sealed cans or jars which are
subjected to a temperature of 100ºC and
above 5-7 kilo pressured for a specific
period of time.

RED
MEAT

Red Meat
• The color depends on the
concentration of myoglobin in
muscle fiber. When myoglobin is
exposed to oxygen reddish color
appears.
• Redness depends on species,
animal age, and narrow muscle
fibers.

Red Meat Examples:
Cow: Beef (adult cattle)
Veal: (baby calves)
Carabeef: (water buffalo meat)
Sheep: in its first year is called a LAMB,
Juvenile sheep: older than one year is
HOGGET;
meat of an adult sheep is MUTTON,
“a term only used for the meat, not the living
animal”

BEEF
• Beef is the meat of domesticated
mature cattle usually over 12
months of age
• It is usually bright, cherry red in
color with creamy white fat.

Grades of Beef
• Prime (best)
•Choice
• Select or Good
•Standard
•Commercial

Grades of Beef
• U.S. Prime
– Highest in quality, higher fat content, well
distributed marbling
• U.S. Choice
– High quality, lower fat content, less distributed
marbling
• U.S. Select
-- Acceptable quality, but is less juicy and tender
due to leanness
-- Lowest grade commonly sold at grocery store

Composition of Meat:
Water
• Water is about 75% of muscle tissue. Shrinkage
can be a big problem in cooking meat which
result to loss of weight and loss of profit.
Protein
• About 20% of the muscle tissue is a protein.
Protein coagulates when it is heated. This
means firmer and loses moisture. Coagulation is
related to doneness.

Fat
• 5 % of the muscle tissue is fat. A beef
carcass can be as much as 30% fat.
1. Juiciness – Marbling is fat deposited
within the muscle tissue. Juiciness
depends on how
much marble contains in the meat.
2. Tenderness – Marbling separates muscle
fibers, making them easier to chew.
3. Flavor – Flavor depends on the marbling.

Cattle are classified as:
• Bulls – male intact cattle, usually not raised
to be eaten.
• Calves – young cows or bulls prized for their
meat.
• Cows – female cattle after the first calving,
raised principally for milk and calf
production..
• Steers – male cattle castrated prior to
maturity and principally raised for beef.

Variety Meats/ Organ Meats
• Liver, heart, kidney, and tongue of
beef, veal, lamb and pork.

Tripe – the inner lining of the
stomach of ruminant (cud-chewing)
animals.

Sweetbreads – these are
the thymus glands of veal
and lamb.

• Chitterlings – cleaned intestines

Effects of Cooking Meats
• Changes in pigment – myoglobin
from bright red color to grayish
brown.
• Changes in meat protein- Decrease
in length of fiber causing shrinkage.
Excessive heating makes the meat
tougher, stringy and rubbery.

Effects of Cooking Meats
• Fat melts , causing shrinkage
• Loss in moisture
• Heat converts collagen into
gelatin. This requires more heat
• Long cooking develops better
flavor

Six Stages of Doneness:
• very rare - red, juices blood, soft, jelly-like
• rare -raw red portion of meat is small, around
is pink brown outer surface, juices are red
• medium rare –interior portion is rich pink.
Meat is plump and firm
• medium – modified rose, pink juices are less
• medium well – pink color disappears, juices
are clear gray, firm to touch
• Well - gray inside and out, shrunken, little or
no juice appear, brown and dry.

Storage of Meats:
Fresh Meats:
1. Check purchases as soon as it arrives to ensure
the quality.
2. Do not wrap tightly, bacteria and mold thrive
in moist. Allow air to circulate to inhibits the
growth of bacteria.
3. Do not open vacuum packed meats until it is
ready to use.
4. . Store at 32⁰ to 36⁰ F

5. Store fresh meat in the coldest part of
the refrigerator (40°F/5°C or lower).
6.Use refrigerated fresh meats within 3-4
days. Ground meats and variety meats
are more perishable than other meats,
use them within 1-2 days.
7.Refrigerator cured & smoke meats,
sausages, and ready to serve meats,
unless the label says otherwise. Leave
them in their original wrappers.

8.Freeze meats for longer storage.
(0°F/18°C or colder) for maximum
keeping quality.
–you can freeze luncheon meat,
hotdog, and ham up to 2 months. –
Ground meats will keep for 3 months. –
Pork cuts for 6 months
–Lamb will keep up to 9 months.
• Beef will keep for a year.

Hygiene Practices in Storing Meat
products
1. See to it that physical equipment and
layout are conducive to sanitary practices.
2. Handle, store, and refrigerate food
properly to prevent spoilage and
contamination.
3. Safeguard the food during distribution
and service.

4. Wash and sanitize dishes, glasses,
utensils, and equipment.
5. Clean floors walls, ceilings, counters,
tables, and chairs regularly.
6. Eliminate vermin and rodents from food
areas.
7. Maintain adequate employer
supervision and a constant program of
education in sanitation for food service
workers.

8. Make sure that food service employees
are in good health, and are not carriers of
communicable diseases. The three
principal groups of communicable
diseases that must be guarded against in
public feeding operations are respiratory,
intestinal, and skin diseases. Require
medical examinations for food service
employees.
9. Provide a regular employee education
on food service sanitation.
