A world of beef
If you want to fully understand how to cook beef, you really need to have a good understanding of where the beef came from, the type of animal, what it ate, grain or grass fed, how it was slaughtered and aged, and eventually how it was cooked.
Mark Schatzker travels the world in this ode to the perfect steak, the U.S. Europe, Argentina, Japan and the U.K. and I learnt so much about beef and how it’s produced, and the effect all of these factors have on the final steak you have on your plate.
If you want to learn how to cook the perfect steak, then this book is certainly for you, and what you learn here may surprise you.
