Mastering the Art of Cooking Jarabin Beef
At Jarabin, we’re passionate about bringing you premium-quality, pasture-raised beef. To help you make the most of your Jarabin cuts, we’ve put together some essential cooking tips to ensure every meal is a masterpiece.
1. Choose the Right Cut for the Right Dish
Different cuts of beef shine in different recipes. Here’s a quick guide:
· Steaks (Ribeye, Sirloin, Scotch Fillet): Perfect for grilling or pan-searing.
· Brisket and Chuck: Ideal for slow-cooking, braising, or smoking.
· Mince: Great for burgers, meatballs, or hearty sauces.
· Roasts (Rump, Eye Fillet): Best for oven roasting or reverse searing.
2. Bring It to Room Temperature
Before cooking, allow your beef to come to room temperature. This ensures even cooking, keeping the inside tender and the outside perfectly seared.
3. Season Generously
Jarabin beef shines with simple seasoning:
A generous sprinkle of coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper is often all you need.
For an extra flavor boost, rub with garlic, rosemary, or a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Use the Right Heat
For steaks, start with high heat to sear the outside, then lower the heat to finish cooking to your desired doneness.
For slow-cooked cuts, low and slow is the way to go – patience is key for tender, flavourful results.
5. Rest Before Serving
After cooking, let your beef rest for 5–10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring every bite is moist and flavourful.
6. Don’t Overcomplicate It
Jarabin beef is all about quality – let the natural flavours shine. Pair it with simple sides like roasted vegetables, fresh salads, or creamy mashed potatoes.
7. Cooking Times and Temperatures
Here’s a quick guide to steak doneness:
Rare: 52°C (125°F) – Red center, cool to warm.
Medium Rare: 57°C (135°F) – Warm, red center.
Medium: 63°C (145°F) – Pink throughout.
Well Done: 71°C (160°F) – Cooked all the way through.
Use a meat thermometer for precision and confidence.
