Ways to eat beef

There are many types of beef and in many ways, you can eat it. Beef is widely served in Japanese Cuisine and Western.

Famous kinds of beef like wagyu and A5 beef is famous in Japan for its marble and smooth texture. The feeling of eating one of those beef is described to be like ‘having a taste of heaven’.

They would often cook the beef over a barbeque or in hotpot meals. Some serve them in sushi and even uses a torchlight to burn the surfaces of the beef for the crispy yet tender touch. 

In Western, such beef types are used too but the most common method of cooking is in the form of steak. Huge chunks of meat are cut correctly and seared in a pan until the right temperature.

Dry age vs wet age beef

There are two ways to preserve a piece of good beef. Dry aged beef is a traditional method where a whole side of beef is hung in the open air for several weeks.

It is not any type of air and only air with very cold temperatures just above freezing. This is to enable the preservative process to occur and the enzymes can work on the muscle tissue allowing the meat to slowly dehydrate.

A slice of dehydrated meat will not promote the growth of many bacteria, especially in cold temperatures too. This can change the texture and flavour of meat, making it more intense.

Wet aged beef, on the other hand, is a method that is just newly introduced for preservation. This is through the usage of plastics and refrigerators. The beef is preserved in vacuum-sealed plastics and is shipped to the market directly after package.

Within a period of 4-10 days, the ageing of beef will take place where the enzymes tenderize the meat enough to make it tasty. Thus, this is a popular choice.

There are many types of cuisine in Malaysia which include Italian, Chinese, Western, Thailand and Vietnam. However, as mentioned, Western cuisines with a good plate of steak is a popular option. There are many of the steak houses in Kuala Lumpur that serves the finest beef.
