Best Answer

Because cattle are warm blooded animals they contain a pigment in their meat tissues called myoglobin. This pigment is normally a dark grayish color, which then creates the dark color in beef.

What are major negative traits that you should look for when judging market beef?

Are you referring to beef cattle or beef cuts? If you are talking about beef cuts, the two major things that are looked for are dark cuts, and fat quality and quantity. Dark cuts come from bruising before the animal was slaughtered, and from a high rate of cortisol and adrenaline in the animal's system prior to slaughter. With fat, there shouldn't be too much, especially around the edges, and not too little where it's really lean. It shouldn't have yellow fat (with the exception of those markets that are looking for "grass-fed" type beef), instead the fat should be white, with adequate marbling (fat inside the muscle or in the cut of beef).


When assessing beef quality what are dark cutters?

Dark cutters are those cattle that have undergone a lot of stress and panic before they were slaughtered. The adrenaline coursing through their bodies to their muscles make the muscle very dark, and also makes it tough and stringy to eat.

Diff between good stock and bad stock?

Good question! If the stock is a light golden color, it's ok. If the stock is a dark yellow or brown, don't use. This would be if you are using turkey or chicken broth. If you are working with beef stock, a tan color is ok. If it is a light brown, that's ok as well. If the beef broth is dark brown or a very oddly colored black don't use. Beef broth is darker then turkey or chicken stock.

How can you effectively add seasoning and flavorings to soups sauces or stocks?

You can add a wonderful natural flavor to beef soup by first glazing the beef tips in the soup pot. Place the beef tips in a pot, but don't add any oil, water, or anything but the beef. Let it cook on high heat while the natural juices of the meat cook out. Then let the beef cook, stirring, until the beef is beginning to brown and a dark brown glaze has formed in the bottom of the pot. It may look as if it's burning, but it isn't. After the bottom of the pot is very brown, add hot water. This will immediately turn the stock into a rich, dark brown stock, giving it a wonderful seasoned flavor and color.To season dishes with seasonings and flavorings, you can add bay leaf to beef soup, saffron to rice, oregano to tomato-based dishes and sauteed onions to many types of dishes.
