There’s a lot of talk about meat these days. Some say that we should eat less and some say we should eat more. People who want to cook without meat will tell you that it’s easy and then there are people who think its difficult.
I’m not here to debate the merits of meat, but I am here to help you understand the variety of options you have when it comes to different cuts of animal protein.
So, what is the best type of meat? Well, it all depends on what you like and what your needs are. Is it for a big family party?
Are you cooking for two people and need something quick and easy? What about this: do you just want an inexpensive cut of beef? All this information can be found in my ultimate guide to meat: Beef vs Pork vs Chicken.
What are the best cuts of beef?
If you’re looking for the best cut of beef, I recommend a boneless top round roast. It’s not exclusively a tough cut and it cooks up nicely. You can grill or sear it and serve with a sauce or just keep plain. The point is that you won’t be disappointed with this cut of meat.
What are the best cuts of pork?
Pork is a delicious, versatile type of meat that can be used in a variety of dishes. But, as with other types of meat, pork comes in different cuts and some are better than others.
One of the most popular cuts of pork is the ham which comes from the back legs and has a rich and salty flavor. Another popular cut is bacon which is made from either pork belly or pork loin and has a sweet and smoky flavor.
Ham and bacon are common breakfast foods but they can also be used in sandwiches, chili, soups, stews, salads, beans, pasta dishes, tacos, stir fry’s and more!
Other popular cuts include tenderloin (the pork most commonly found at high-end restaurants), spare ribs which have an excellent flavor if cooked correctly, ground beef which can be used for burgers or chili dogs with traditional seasonings added to it.
What are the best cuts of chicken?
Different cuts of meat are best for different purposes, but what is the best cut of chicken? It really just depends on what you’re cooking. If you’re looking for a versatile cut that can be used in many recipes, the breast might be the way to go.
The boneless, skinless breast can be cooked a few different ways and it’s a good source of protein. The thigh is also a good choice if you’re looking for something with fat that will add flavor to your dish.
Conclusion
Now that you know the difference between beef, pork, and chicken, it’s time to cook!
There are so many delicious dishes you can make with all three of these meats. You can grill up some steaks or pork chops, roast a whole chicken or braise some ribs. Whatever you choose, you’ll be sure to get a delicious meal.
