Among meat lovers, there are many who prefer meat attached to bones. Scenes of tearing meat off ribs with bare hands are often seen at barbecue restaurants. While there could be various reasons for this preference, generally there are several reasons why meat attached to bones tastes better than lean meat.
Firstly, it's because of the texture. Meat attached to bones has a chewier texture compared to lean meat. This phenomenon occurs due to the connective tissue that binds the bone and the meat. Although not pure collagen, this connective tissue contains components like elastin and chitin, which create a chewy texture.
Secondly, meat attached to bones can have a more diverse flavor profile than lean meat. This is due to the flavors released from bone marrow and muscle membranes. Bone marrow refers to the moisture inside the bones that emerges when heat is applied. These flavors add depth and richness to dishes.
However, some people may not enjoy meat attached to bones because it can be too tough. In such cases, changing the cooking method can help. Making perpendicular cuts to the meat fibers can make it more tender. Additionally, grilling can toughen the meat with prolonged cooking, but boiling can make it tender as it cooks longer in water. Especially, ribs become tender and develop a unique savory taste when boiled for a long time. For this reason, when choosing meat for stewing, it's better to select cuts with connective tissues like rib meat.
Moreover, if you're worried about whether meat attached to bones has higher calories than lean meat, blanching it in boiling water before cooking can help reduce its calorie content by removing excess fat. Boiling meat also reduces calories compared to grilling or frying.
Lastly, it's important to store leftover cooked meat in airtight containers at temperatures below 4°C to maintain its freshness for longer.
Meat attached to bones possesses various charms compared to lean meat, and through appropriate cooking methods, you can enjoy its flavor even more. Therefore, the next time you cook meat, consider choosing cuts with bones attached for a new culinary experience.
