Choosing the Right Cut
- For Grilling: Ribeye, skirt steak, or chicken thighs hold up well to high heat and stay juicy.
- For Slow Cooking: Cuts like chuck roast, pork shoulder, or short ribs become tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow.
- For Quick Meals: Chicken breasts, pork chops, and ground beef are versatile and easy to cook any night of the week.
Storing Your Meat
Keep meat fresh by storing it in the coldest part of your refrigerator. If you’re not planning to use it within a couple of days, freeze it in airtight packaging.
Pro tip: label your freezer bags with the date so you always know what to use first.
Cooking Like a Pro
- Always let your meat rest for a few minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your proteins are cooked safely without overcooking.
- Marinate cuts like chicken breasts or pork loin for extra flavor and tenderness.
