*Cuts that are lower in fat. through “rigor.” With time, the muscles relax and increase in acidity — a natural way to tenderize meat — and muscle proteins increase their water-holding ability, which enhances juiciness.
Aging is a process that relaxes the tissues, making the beef easier to chew and enjoy.
The original process of aging, now called dry-aging, demanded that a carcass hang in a cooler for 3 weeks or more. The surface would dry out and be thrown away. The remaining beef made excellent but expensive steaks. This process is now reserved for steaks bound for only the best steakhouses.

illness. In recent years, Escherichia coli (E. coli), a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause severe, bloody diarrhea, has become a concern with red meat, particularly ground beef.
Fortunately, proper cooking kills all microorganisms in meat. Preventing meat from contaminating other foods before cooking is important. Good meat-handling practices include thawing meat in the refrigerator, making sure juices from raw meat do not get on other food, and disinfecting cooking and preparation surfaces after handling raw meat. For more information about cooking meat and other protein foods properly, see Chapter 5, Cooking It Safe, page 149, and Food Safety, page 148.
The following pages contain more specific information on different types of meat and how to include them in a healthful diet.
