australian beef

preparing beefThere are many ways to cook beef. And the preferable methods for cooking Australian Beef cuts are roasting, pan-frying, broiling and grilling.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY AUSTRALIAN BEEF IS COOKED?

Australian Beef can be served from rare to well-done, depending on your taste. You can test for doneness by simply prodding the beef with your finger. When it has a springy but firm texture and is moderately juicy, the beef is done. The firmer the feel of the meat, the more well-done it is. For rare, it’ll feel very soft. For medium, it’ll feel a little firmer. If you like your meat well-done, it’ll feel very firm.A meat thermometer, which can be purchased from most homeware stores, is the best for determining the doneness of a roast. Insert the thermometer at the start of cooking, leaving it in throughout. When the estimated time is up, check the thermometer.
