FOOD Your little kitchen helper: My beef is ibeef A cut above: Beef Essentials takes the guesswork out of cooking with beef. With so many televisions shows on what we can cook and how we can cook it, our culinary expectations have never been higher. However, as all foodies know, expectations often exceed skill, and there are few things in this world sadder than a beautiful succulent piece of Australian beef reduced to boot leather. So it is good news that Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) has come to the rescue with Beef Essentials: Your practical guide to Australian beef. No, this is not the latest in a long line of cookbooks; it is in fact an award-winning iOS app. Wanting to help consumers get the best out of good Aussie beef, the MLA developed Beef Essentials, often referred to as iBeef. Born out of the realisation there was a significant “gap between beef products and cooking knowledge among customers – particularly the younger, tech-savvy generation” – this free app is a worthy kitchen helper. MLA has kept it simple, making it easy to find what you want quickly. iBeef has been broken up into four main areas – Beef Cuts, Cooking Methods, Favourites and Cook. As the name suggests the Beef Cuts section is an alphabetical listing of the various cuts of meat with a brief description. Methods provides a list of the various ways beef can be cooked with step-by-step, easy-to-follow instructions on this cooking technique. Favourites allows you to collate the details of your preferred cuts and recipes for quick referencing. However, the real gem of this app is Cook. Cook is where information meets practical application and this section is a true little-kitchen-helper. By adding the cut you are using, the desired cooking method, the ‘doneness’ of the meat (e.g. well-done) and its thickness, Cook provides the required cooking time. But unlike your average timer, Cook alerts you at each stage action is required and what this action is, like “flip your steak” or “stir and reduce heat to…”. Beef Essentials takes the guesswork out of cooking with beef and helps you choose the right cut and then cook it to perfection. This easy-to-use, informationpacked app was awarded the Lifestyle Mobile Apps Webby earlier this year. The American-based Webby Awards are the leading international honour for the world’s best websites and digital projects. This is amazing recognition for an app from Down Under. The only downside of iBeef is it is just available for iOS and it has been designed specifically for an iPhone. This iPhone-specific approach means it does not take advantage of the extra screen real estate of an iPad – displaying at the native iPhone screen size, it hovers in the middle of the screen surrounded by black nothingness. However, regardless of these two nuances, if you have ever found yourself wondering which cut of beef to use or what to do with it, then Beef Essentials is for you and it being free is an added bonus. 56 MEDICUS August
FOOD Orange mustard barbecue steaks Serves: 4 Time: 15 minutes (preparation) + 8 minutes (cooking) Ingredients 4 sirloin steaks Finely-grated rind and juice of one small orange 1tbs seeded mustard 1tbs honey Extra orange, sliced Salad leaves to serve Method Brush each sirloin steak lightly with oil and season with salt and pepper. Combine the orange rind and juice, mustard and honey and rub over steaks. Preheat the barbecue flat-plate or char-grill plate to hot before adding the steaks. Cook on one side until the first sign of moisture appears. Turn steaks once only. Barbecue orange slices for a few minutes on each side while the steaks cook. Test the steaks for degree of doneness with tongs. Rare is soft, medium feels springy and well done is very firm. Remove steaks from heat, loosely cover with foil and rest steaks for five minutes. Pile salad leaves, steak and barbecued orange slices on plates to serve. Handy hints Ensure the barbecue is hot before you cook. Make it hot enough to sizzle the steak as it makes contact with the plate or grill. Best beef steaks for barbecuing: fillet/tenderloin, rib eye/scotch fillet, sirloin/porterhouse/New York, T-bone, rump, round, blade, and oyster blade. Recipe courtesy www.themainmeal.com.au.
