The Ultimate Meat Resource
After 20-plus years of purchasing and cooking meat, we understand that preparing meat doesnât begin at the stoveâit starts at the store. Thatâs where The Cookâs Illustrated Meat Book beginsâwith a 27-page master class in meat cookery that covers shopping, storing, and seasoning meat and how to cook meat, cut by cut.
Matching cut to cooking method is a key to success, so our Meat Essentials chapter includes fully illustrated pages devoted to all the major cooking methods: sautéing, pan-searing, pan-roasting, roasting, grilling, and more.
We also include Recommended Tools of the Trade (what should you look for in a good roasting pan or slicing knife? Whatâs the best type of red wine for cooking?) and debunk common fallacies about cooking meat (searing meat does not seal in juices, poultry should not be rinsed before cooking, and pink pork will not make you sick).
Fully illustrated pages at the beginning of each chapter reveal the best cuts for various cooking methods and explain how and why you should follow our instructions (and what may happen if you donât).
There is perhaps no greater food shopping frustration than being confronted with every conceivable cut of beef but the one you need. Our At the Meat Counter recipe feature offers the preferred cut along with solid substitutions and lets you know how you can modify the recipe to work with the alternative cut.

[Pan-Seared Thick-Cut Strip Steak](
Medium-rare thick-cut steaks, done well.
Pan searing a thick-cut strip steak presents a unique challenge: how to keep the perimeter from overcooking while the center heats to desired doneness. For a steak with a good crust and a medium-rare center we start with chilled steaks and place them in a 275-degree oven until the interior reaches 95 degrees; then we finish them with a quick sear. This provides a turbocharged aging process that increases flavor and tenderness without overcooking the rosy meat of this expensive cut.
[Juicy Pub-Style Burgers](
Juicy pub-style burgers at home.
For a premium burger, bypass the preground meat at the market and go for tender steak tips that you grind yourself in a food processor. For extra richness, add melted butter, which coats the raw beef and ensures the burgers cook up super juicy with flavorful browning. Sear the patties on the stove and then transfer them to a chilled baking pan to finish cooking in a low-heat oven. Topped with crispy shallots and blue cheese or your favorite topping, these burgers wonât disappoint.
[Spareribs](
BBQ ribs you can enjoy all year long.
Most oven-based rib recipes slather on smoke-flavored sauce to make up for the decidedly unbarbecued meat underneath. After trying in vain to get wood chips to smoke in the oven, we turned to ingredients with smoky taste. An unusual optionâLapsang souchong teaâworked surprisingly well. We start the ribs on a rack over a pan of tea leaves in a very hot oven, then turn the temperature down and add apple juice to the pan for flavor and moisture. A quick stint under the broiler creates chewy, crispy crust with just-off-the-grill flavorâeven in the middle of winter.
