Choosing your meat:
Buy your meat from a reputable supermarket or butcher - they work hard with meat producers to ensure that the meat reaches you in top condition.
Everyone has their own personal taste in meat & some prefer lean cuts, but many people enjoy their meat with some fat on it as this lends the meat added succulence & enhances the flavour once cooked.
Look at the colour of the meat -
· Beef may be red or, if it has been matured, a darker reddish brown, with creamy beige coloured fat
· Pork will have a fresh pink tone with bright, white fat
Lamb will be deep red or purplish with creamy beige colour fat
