The new food pyramid puts red meat at the very bottom, as an undesirable food. The "politically correct" view is that red meat is dangerous because it is loaded with cholesterol and saturated fat. The "experts" even cite some studies that seem to link red meat with increased risk of heart disease, strokes, and cancer. The good news is that none of that is true. As I wrote in another article called Red Meat is Good for Heart, Does not Cause Heart Disease or Stroke, red meat is a great source of many important nutrients and is generally very beneficial. It not only provides the best quality proteins, but also zinc, B vitamins, coenzyme Q10, trace minerals and other vital elements. I also pointed out...

However, did you know that there's a "land meat" that has similar omega-3/omega-6 ratios as wild salmon? In fact, this "land meat" not only contains as much, or even higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, but without the possible negatives such as heavy metals (mercury, etc) and PCBs that can be found in fish frequently. I've talked about this type of meat before and how it's one of the healthiest forms of meat you can possibly eat... It's grass-fed beef and other grass-fed ruminant meats such as bison, buffalo, lamb, and venison. Now I...

FRYING AND SAUTEING.--When meat is fried or sauted, that is, brought directly in contact with hot fat, it is made doubly indigestible, because of the hardening of the surface tissues and the indigestibility of the fat that penetrates these tissues. This is especially true of meat that is sauted slowly in a small quantity of hot fat. Much of this difficulty can be overcome, however, if meat prepared by these methods, like that which is broiled or roasted, is subjected quickly to intense heat. In addition, the fat used for cooking should be made hot before the meat is put into it. BOILING.--To boil meat means to cook it a long time in water at a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

Two different groups of bacteria affect refrigerated meats; spoilage bacteria makes food go bad and causes odor in the refrigerator and pathogenic bacteria makes us sick.

The fact that all food in a refrigerator eventually spoils proves this. Spoiled food doesn’t make you sick, it might taste bad but unless it contains pathogenic...

Personal Trainer in Singapore Says "meat...
As a personal trainer in Singapore, I get asked a lot about diet, nutrition and supplements for losing fat and gaining muscles. One common mistake that people in Singapore and around Asia especially make when it comes to fat loss and muscle gain is a lack of meat! Simply not enough. The Singapore and Asian diet has too little of it. A bowl of fish soup has a few pathetic slices of fish. A plate of roast pork rice has a few slices of roast pork... TINY. When I mention meat, I mean quite a large amount of meat. At least a kilo per day for men (more is better as long as your digestive system is good!) and 500g per day for women. "But I heard meat gives you all kinds of health issues"... like - kidney...

Methods of Cooking and Grilling Deer Meat

The Easiest Venison Pot Roast Recipes
I have the most wonderful childhood memories of my grandmother cooking roast. The smell that wafted through the house was synonymous with comfort and love.

Something that smelled that good had to be hard, right? Wrong. Pot roast is a cinch. It's perfect for company, and the leftovers are terrific. Here are the two easiest recipes I've found. Venison Salt Pot Roast. Mix a 3 to 5 pound bag of coarse salt with some water so you can mould it. Put a 4 to 6 pound venison roast in a roast dish and cover with the salt. Cook at...
Great Venison Oven Recipes

The Best Venison Seasonings
What is the best venison seasoning to use for your venison meat? That depends on several factors: how well the meat was processed, what cut of meat you're preparing, and how you're planning on cooking it. Many people think they need to heavily season venison to hide the gamey flavor. I'll tell you right now, that doesn't work. If you have gamey meat, you're better off grinding it for burgers, chili, or stew rather than trying to make a delicious steak with it. However, if the meat has been harvested (field dressed, quartered, and butchered) properly, then the meat really doesn't require a ton of seasoning to taste good. That said, the right combination of seasoning can make a good meal great. I do a...
Is it Better to Can Venison Or Freeze It?

I love hamburgers. I could eat them every day. But the fat and cholesterol in beef is, obviously, not good. And, honestly, I don't really like the taste of turkey burgers all that much. Imagine my joy when I discovered venison hamburgers! I get the best of both worlds: the flavor of red meat with the nutritional value of white meat. For comparison, 1 serving of ground beef (72%) lean has 248 calories, 18 grams of fat and 77 grams of cholesterol! The same serving of venison has 157 calories, 7 grams of fat and 80 milligrams of cholesterol. I'll take the venison! That sounds great, although some skeptics will be quick to say you need to add fat to the venison in order for the meat to stay together...

Believe it or not, cooking a beef brisket requires some knowledge of physics. Since water starts to evaporate at 212 degrees F, cooking a brisket at 200 degrees, all of the juices are saved, and the brisket meat is more tender than thought possible. This is an oven beef brisket recipe that can be prepared well in advance, freeing up time for other things. An oven beef brisket is best cooked while wrapped tightly in some kind of covering, such as aluminum foil. This traps all of the juices in or near the meat. A brisket is too wide to seal tightly with one width of foil, so here is a method of sealing it tightly: Tear off two long (3 ft.), equal lengths of foil. Lay one sheet on top of the other. Now...
I agree that one of the best things about living in Australia is that you can come home and throw a couple of chops on the barbie and have a meal in very short time. However, with a little preparation a few hours ahead you can improve the flavour and texture of this meal ten-fold. If you're a hard-core griller who's motto is catch it - kill it - grill it - eat it - I understand as I spent many years living by that approach as well. One night I shared camp with an old prospector who had shot a kangaroo that morning and had been marinating a leg in a 50:50 mixture of vinegar and cheap red wine, with a lot of salt and pepper. He then roasted it in an enormous camp oven and shared the meal with me. I...

Cooking Guide For Meat
Meat should be cooked according to the cut. The more expensive cuts of tender meat require very little cooking and can be fried, grilled or broiled to develop a rich flavor. The tough cuts of meat are juicier and contain excellent food value but must be cooked more slowly.

All meats can be tenderized to a certain extent by any of the following methods:- 1. Wrap the meat up in crushed papaya leaves. The juice from the papaya leaves contains an enzyme that will tenderize meats. 2. Chop or mince the meat to break up the...
