3.Read and translate the text.

Beef is the meat which comes from cattle. Beef comes mainly from young bulls and cows. Bulls, and cows have had calves, are used mainly for breeding, because their meat is tougher. The different parts of the animals are used in many ways.

The hide (or skin) can be made into leather for shoes, briefcases, handbags and many other goods.

The horns and hooves are ground up and made into glue and fertilizer.

The stomach becomes tripe, which is boiled and eaten, often with onions. In the north of England a favourite way to eat it is on its own with vinegar.

Tripe is easy to digest and so is a good food for young children, old people and invalids. It is about the best value-for-money meat you can buy. Other parts of cattle which can be eaten are sweetmeats, brains, heart, liver and kidneys.

Good beef should have small flecks of fat on its lean (red) areas. These flecks are called ‘marbling’ and they add flavour to the beef. The fat (cream parts) should be soft but firm, from light to dark cream colour, depending on what the animal has been given to eat.

You may have seen carcasses of cattle hanging up in the butchers’ shops ready for cutting into joints. Great skill is needed to cut and process meat, and butchers have to be carefully trained. But cutting meat into joints is only part of the butcher’s job. Butchers must learn how to choose good meat at the market and how to keep it in good condition for their customers. This means that butchers must know how to inspect meat, how to freeze it and many other technical things. They must also learn how to make sausages and pies.

Each part of the beef carcass has a special name, although these names and the size of the cuts sometimes vary in different parts of the country. Topside, which is lean and without bone, is not very tender meat to eat unless it is cooked in an oven for a long time. The three main methods used are slow roasting, pot roasting and braising. Most pieces of topside are cooked in fat or a liquid to keep the meat wet, which helps the flavour to come out and to cut it easily.

Rump steak should be cooked by grilling or frying. You can roast sirloin with its bone (this is called ‘on the bone’), or remove the fillet from the bone and cut it into steaks for grilling. Boned and rolled sirloin should be roasted. Steaks can be cut also from the upper part of the sirloin. Loin is a very expensive cut. It is said the King of England Henry VIII was so delighted with a loin of beef at a banquet that he knighted it, calling it “Sir” Loin, its modern name.

Thick flank, or top rump, is very lean and rather like topside. It comes from the lower and inner part of the hind leg. It is best for braising, roasting or pot-roasting.

Boned and rolled brisket needs long, slow cooking. It may be pot roasted, braised, or salted and boiled.

Fore rib and middle rib are cuts next to each other. Both are best roasted on the bone, or boned and rolled.

Shin is the meat from the fore leg, and leg is the meat from the hind leg. The meat on both is lean and good for stewing.
