Nothing quite like a premium cut of beef on the table. Order fresh red meat and processed meat only from Manettas.
Red meat is a nutrient-rich food known for providing essential health benefits, particularly when enjoyed in moderation. While various types and cuts may exhibit a range of flavour nuances, the distinct, savoury taste remains a hallmark of all red meat.
Now, let’s delve deeper into the categories of red meat before exploring the array of both unprocessed and processed options available for purchase at Manettas.
Common red meats are those raised in farms and are readily available in your local grocery store. Here are some of the most common red meats in the Australian market:
Some red meats aren’t as widely consumed as the ones mentioned above. These are sometimes referred to as game meats, which may be found in specialty markets. They come from wild animals that are hunted rather than raised in farms. Examples include:
Rare types of red meat may be the most difficult to find and may be considered exotic in some regions. They are often leaner and have a unique flavour profile.
Red meat is typically classified based on its relative levels of myoglobin, a protein found in the muscle tissue that gives meat its reddish colour when raw. Mammalian muscle meats are considered red meat because they contain high levels of myoglobin.
However, this classification can be confusing and inconsistent, as the myoglobin levels in different types of meat can vary widely. For example, some poultry cuts may contain more myoglobin than some cuts of veal or pork.
Despite the inconsistency in classification, red meat is generally considered a valuable source of nutrients and is therefore a vital component of a healthy diet.
Red meat is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is important for maintaining and repairing muscle tissue, among other functions. It’s also rich in iron, Vitamin B12, zinc and other vitamins and minerals.
However, red meat can also be high in saturated fat and cholesterol which is why moderation is key to preventing an increased risk of heart disease and other health problems. Experts recommend limiting your processed and unprocessed red meat consumption and balancing it with other sources of protein and other nutrients.
A well-balanced diet includes a variety of foods from different food groups. The World Health Organization continues to advocate balanced eating for optimal health and to avoid cardiovascular disease, cancer and other health issues.
If your diet is high in red and processed meats, make sure to add fruits and vegetables to your meals.
In the culinary world, red meat typically refers to meat that is red in colour when raw and turns to a darker hue when cooked, as opposed to white meat, which maintains its pale colour after cooking.
Red meats are generally considered to have a stronger flavour and a higher fat content compared to white meats. That’s mainly because of marbling, which refers to the streaks of fat that run through the muscle tissue. Marbling contributes to the juiciness and flavour of the meat.
Red meat is used in a wide variety of culinary dishes, from classic steaks and roasts to stews and curries. Preparation can range from simple grilling or roasting to more complex dishes that involve marinating or braising for added tenderness and flavour.
