Cooking Cheap Cuts of Meat

Dont be afraid to purchase cheaper cuts of meat, because if you cook it right, it can be delicious.  I suggest braising.

Braising is a cooking method that involves browning food at a high temperature and then cooking it slowly in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid.


Ingredients: Braising is often used for larger cuts of meat and hearty vegetables.

Cooking liquid: Braising typically uses a cooking liquid like broth, wine, coconut milk, or beer. Cooking vessel: Braising is usually done in a Dutch oven or slow cooker. Cooking time: Braising involves cooking at a low temperature for several hours. Texture: Braised food is tender and juicy, and the cooking liquid becomes harmonious with the food. Flavor: Braising is a great way to build rich flavor into food. You can add vegetables or herbs to the cooking liquid to enhance the flavor. 


Braising is similar to stewing and roasting, but there are some key differences:


Stewing: Stewing uses more liquid and involves cooking smaller pieces of food that are completely submerged in liquid.

Roasting: Roasting doesn't use liquid and ingredients should be as dry as possible. 

Once braised food is cooked, you can add some freshness with lemon zest, fresh herbs, or spinach or arugula. You can serve braised food over mashed potatoes, polenta, or egg noodles.


It’s just pure comfort food and your home will smell amazing!
