Know your beef cuts and how to best prep them as steaks
Prime Cuts include muscle tissues that experience the least frequency of strenuous movements in an animal. Sometimes, these are created deliberately, including but not limited to what the cattle is fed to produce what’s known as the marbling effect in beef and other red meats such as lamb, goat, mutton, camel, etc. However, these are not the only variables that produce prime cuts. Consider the tenderloin or the fillet of beef! It hardly shows any marbling whatsoever, but it is undeniably the tenderest cut that the bovine possesses, making it the costliest.

They are easy to make and hard to resist. There are four main ingredients in all soft spreads: fruit, sugar, pectin and acid. The consistency of soft spreads varies from a firm set for jellies to a soft, honey-like consistency for preserves, and thus require slightly differing prep techniques.
