Was just on my favorite german site and the cuts of meat they cook just look so good. Just made me wonder if the taste is differant than say the usa. Anyone experiance the differances ?
Grain-fed or grass-fed makes up the most differences. I remember having Australian beef (grain) once. Wow I says, what a difference. Even the texture of the meat is different.
I spent 8 weeks in Sydney. Couldn't get used to the taste of beef there. So, I spent the whole time eating chicken, kangaroo, emu or whatever other protein I could get used to.
So I have to ask Dan, does kangaroo taste like anything that we eat in North America, or is it completely different?
It seems like buffalo is less available now than it has been in years past. I am not sure if it is due to lack of demand. Several years ago they were raising "Beefalo" 1/2 cow and 1/2 buffalo over in Michigan and up in Wisconsin. It tasted better to me than buffalo. Have not seen the Beefalo lately either.Does anyone here eat buffalo? It is available here but is SO expensive. How does the flavor compare to beef? I've read it is a lot healthier due to less fat but does that lessen the flavor?
Almost all our beef is grass fed.
I am particularly partial to rump steak. It just got so much more flavour than fillet.
I will hardly ever order steak in Europe (Netherlands) as it is good, but soooo expensive in comparison (I pay about 7 to 8 U$ for a kg of rumpsteak).
Rump steak?
Is that the same as round steak? If so, it's a very lean cut of beef. How do you keep it moist?

However, Sirloin here is a different cut than rump
Ahhhh, confusion....
Wow, didn't know different countries had different names for cuts of beef. Very interesting.
