Choosing a good cut of meat is a decision that, although not difficult, can be difficult if you are not a great connoisseur of the subject. That said, at CAO we have prepared a complete guide for you, in which you will be able to discover step by step how to choose the perfect cut without it being a challenge.
With this guide, you will be able to know the most important elements to delight your palate with the best cuts according to their texture, flavor, and origins that unquestionably every time you have in front of you a menu with names, you can know and select with the certainty that it will be a flavor to remember.
Step 1: Know the origins of the meat
When you visit a restaurant and you don’t know a dish it is important to always ask about the elements of each dish, the same applies when you go to a steak restaurant.
Remember that it is important to differentiate the type of quality of meat that is presented to you, where it comes from, if it is from cattle, ranch, farm, etc., plus the type of feeding since this can define the flavor, texture, and quality of the meat.
Step 2: The secret is in the way you order your cut and choose its complements
When ordering a cut, have you heard: do you want it well done, medium or raw?
It is not strange to hear the different terms for meat and we may be familiar with only one of the terms for meats; however, to really enjoy the juicy flavor and tenderness of a great cut is not to overcook it because it not only loses its texture but also its flavor.
On the other hand, if what you want is to enjoy grilled meat at its peak, juicy, tender, and enjoy the quality of a select variety of cuts, the middle ground is ideal, we assure you that you will not regret it. In the same way, ask for different accompaniments that will make your experience unique and elevate the flavor of the best cuts in something unusual.
Step 3: Watch the cuts
The most awaited moment has arrived!
When the dish arrives at your table, remember to observe that each piece contains the necessary liquid, avoiding the excess of water with blood at all costs and that the meat has a pink or light color.
Step 4: Accompany it with a delicious drink
Any drink can accompany a delicious steak; however, there is nothing more classic than enjoying it with a delicious drink, and what better than one from our exclusive wine selection of Grupo Anderson’s? Accompany your favorite cut with a glass of Ojo del Amo red wine or if your tastes are inclined to milder flavors, we highly recommend a Chardonnay from Árbol Torcido, this way you can enjoy the juicy flavor of the meat.
