Get steak to room temperature and season with salt and pepper or preferred seasoning, heat pan to medium high heat and sear to desired doneness. For thick steaks, use a meat thermometer for best results. Rest for half the cooking time. For more info, visit https://www.instagram.com/lacarneuae/channel/. You can also book a steak cooking experience with us by contacting 0917 517 6328.
Steak marination can be done easily by combining your choice of neutral oil, salt and pepper, spices, acid (vinegar or citrus juice) and herbs.
Longer marination is recommended for secondary cuts such as skirt, flank and brisket slices. However for primary cuts marination is not required due to high quality and tenderness.
If you wish to marinade primary cuts (tenderloin, ribeye or strip steaks), do so for a short period of time of less than 3 hours.

Click here for La Carne's suggested best practice for meat handling, storage and cooking.
We ensure that our meat is safe for human consumption by following strict cold chain handling for all our meat according to Local and International Food Control and Safety Standards and best practices. No bare human hand ever touch your meat from the first cutting and vacuum preparation from originating country to packing and delivery to your doorsteps.
The liquid in wet aged vacuum sealed meat items is NOT blood. It is called weep, also known myoglobin, which is a protein that ressembles blood but is naturally found in muscle tissue binding iron and oxygen. Weep is naturally found in vacuum sealed meat items during the wetaging process. Simply drain and pat dry when opening a vacuum sealed meat product, and allow 5 minutes to air out.
Yes, we can also recommend the best cuts for burger patties or if you have a specific cut in mind we will gladly accommodate.
All beef and lamb is grass-fed. However some beef is grain-finished for marbling depending on their feeding program and breed such as Angus and Wagyu. Feeding on grain requires more animal husbandry and grain used for feed is costly, hence the higher price associated with grain-finished beef. The higher the marbling grade, the more expensive the beef.
There are a few ways to amplify your meat experience:
Temperature: Cook to a doneness that suits your preference. Cooking to less than well done leads to a more fulfilling steak experience as the meat will be more juicy and flavors will be more pronounced compared to a well done steak wherein the meat has dried out. Using a meat thermometer is a great tool to invest in to ensure you cook to your preferred doneness, or one can also use the finger touch-test technique.
Slicing: Slicing across the grain is really important to ensure you have the most tender eating experience possible. Simply cut perpendicular to the steak's muscle direction.
Cook meat cuts appropriately: Cuts with connective tissue like lamb leg/shoulder, beef short ribs and brisket benefit from low and slow cooking. Primary cuts like tenderloin, ribeye and striploin can be cooked quickly on a pan if they are less than 1-inch thick. For secondary cuts like flank and skirt steak, either cut against the grain for delicious tender stir-fries or marinade for up to 3 hours.
Marination; To flavor meat, mix up a marinade consisting of oil, salt, acid, herbs and spices. There is also the practice of using a blended kiwi to tenderize meat!
We offer chunky mince and regular mince, we can also accommodate much more finer mince. Standard is 80:20 for burger / 90:10 for bolognese or chili con carne and also accommodate customer preference.
Both are cattle breeds, similar to nationality. Angus originates from Aberdeen Angus in Scotland and Wagyu literally means Japanese (Wa-) Beef (-gyu). In terms of flavor, Angus is more beefy and Wagyu has a richer, melt-in-the-mouth experience as it has a higher oleic acid fat content (same fat as avocados and table olives).
The term "best steak" is always relative- there is a best steak for a certain situation, dish or experience you want to have.
Generally speaking, primary cuts are much sought after due to their consistent tenderness so you may want to choose Ribeye, Striploin or Tenderloin steaks for a "fool-proof" easy steak experience. However, these are much higher priced than secondary cuts (like skirt, flank, rump, shank) which are lower priced but yield many more servings!
