Matambre
Matambre is the name of a very thin cut of beef in Argentina, Uruguay and also Paraguay. It is a rose colored muscle taken between the skin and the ribs of the steer, a sort of flank steak. It is not the cut known normally in the U.S. as flank steak. Some people refer to it as the "fly shaker", because it is the muscle used by the animal to twitch to repel flies and other flying insects. Overview The same word (or ''matambre arrollado'' or ''matambre relleno'') is also used for a dish made of a matambre meat roll stuffed with vegetables, peppers, ham, hard-boiled eggs and herbs, then boiled or oven-roasted. It is served sliced—with the fillings making a colourful display—either hot or cold. It is often eaten with chimichurri sauce. It is a rather fatty meat and is usually eaten with vegetables.

Uruguayan Cuisine
Uruguayan cuisine is a fusion of cuisines from several European countries, especially of Mediterranean foods from Spain, Italy, Portugal and France. Other influences on the cuisine resulted from immigration from countries such as Germany and Scotland. Uruguayan gastronomy is a result of immigration, rather than local Amerindian cuisine, because of late-19th and early 20th century immigration waves of, mostly, Italians. Spanish influences are very abundant: desserts like churros (cylinders of pastry, usually fried, sometimes filled with dulce de leche), flan, ''ensaimadas'' yoo (Catalan sweet bread), and alfajores were all brought from Spain. There are also all kinds of stews known as guisos or estofados, arroces (rice dishes such as paella), and fabada ( Asturian bean stew). All of the guisos and traditional ''pucheros'' (stews) are also of Spanish origin. Uruguayan preparations of fish, such as dried salt cod ( bacalao), calamari, and octopus, originate from the Basque and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cut Of Beef
During butchering, beef is first divided into primal cuts, pieces of meat initially separated from the carcass. These are basic sections from which steaks and other subdivisions are cut. Since the animal's legs and neck muscles do the most work, they are the toughest; the meat becomes more tender as distance from hoof and horn increases. Different countries and cuisines have different cuts and names, and sometimes use the same name for a different cut; e.g., the cut described as " brisket" in the US is from a significantly different part of the carcass than British "brisket". "Cut" often refers narrowly to skeletal muscle (sometimes attached to bones), but can also include other edible flesh, such as offal (organ meat) or bones without significant muscles attached. American The following is a list of the American primal cuts, and cuts derived from them. Beef carcasses are split along the axis of symmetry into "halves", then across into front and back "quarters" (forequarters ...

Flank Steak
Flank steak is a cut of beef steak taken from the abdominal muscles of the cow, located just behind the plate and in front of the rear quarter.

Chimichurri
Chimichurri () is an uncooked sauce used both as an ingredient in cooking and as a table condiment for grilled meat. Found in Argentinian, Nicaraguan and Uruguayan cuisines,Joyce GoldsteinThe mysterious origins of chimichurri ''San Francisco Chronicle'' (October 5, 2012). the sauce comes in a green (''chimichurri verde'') and red (''chimichurri rojo'') version. It is made of finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano and red wine vinegar or lemon juice. It is somewhat similar to Moroccan chermoula. Etymology The name may be a variant of Spanish ''chirriburri'' 'hubbub', ultimately perhaps from Basque ''zurrumurru'' 'noise, rumor'. Another theory connects it to Basque ''tximitxurri'' 'hodgepodge', 'mixture of several things in no particular order'; many Basques settled in Argentina in the 19th century. Various, almost certainly false etymologies purport to explain the name as a corruption of English words, most commonly "Jimmy sCurry", "Jimmy McCurry", or ...

Argentine Cuisine
Argentine cuisine is described as a cultural blending of Mediterranean influences brought by the Spanish during the colonial period and, later, by Italian and Spanish immigrants to Argentina during 19th and 20th centuries, with influences from a further cultural blending of ''criollos'' (due to Spanish colonizers) with the Indigenous peoples of Argentina (such as ''mate'' and ''humitas''). Argentine annual consumption of beef has averaged 100 kg (220 lbs) per capita, approaching 180 kg (396 lbs) per capita during the 19th century; consumption averaged 67.7 kg (149 lbs) in 2007. Beyond ''asado'' (the Argentine barbecue), no other dish more genuinely matches the national identity. Nevertheless, the country's vast area, and its cultural diversity, have led to a local cuisine of various dishes. The great immigratory waves consequently imprinted a large influence in the Argentine cuisine, after all Argentina was the second country in the world wit ...

Farsu Magru
Farsu magru, also spelled as farsumagru, and also referred to as farsumauru, falsomagro and falsumagru, is a traditional meat roll dish in Sicilian cuisine that dates to the 13th century. Farsu magru is available in many areas of Sicily, but some serve it only for special occasions. This roast is prepared mainly in rural regions in the interior of the island. Farsu magru means " false lean", which has been attributed to the amounts of meat used in the dish, and also to the lean, low-fat nature of the meats typically used. Etymology Farsu magru means "false lean", meaning "lean" in the sense that a relatively small amount of meat ingredients are used to prepare the dish, which is otherwise substantial in size. The "false lean" moniker has also been claimed to describe the way in which the lean, low-fat cuts of meat that are typically used in the dish contrast with the stuffing, which has a higher fat content. History Farsu magru dates to the 13th century in Sicily, during the time ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
