The Secret To Tender Beef Neck

So, what is the secret to making the beef neck cut taste great? The answer is simple – chopping the meat into very small and thin pieces, as well as cutting against the grain.

Then, by using high heat (for a relatively short time : 25-30 minutes) you can make the meat tender and super tasty.

If you don’t cut the meat thinly and small enough- the meat will never be as tender. 

This Method vs. Slow Cooking

I prefer this quick method over the slow-cooking beef neck for a few reasons.

Firstly, it saves you a lot of time. When I am hungry and there is no ready-to-eat meat around – there is always a risk of binging on carbs.

Secondly, the taste is much better. And thirdly, slow-cooking meat for many hours increases its histamine content.

Many people have histamine intolerance which causes symptoms like diarrhea and nausea. These people should not eat slow-cooked meats very often.

Many people also use a pressure cooker to make cooking faster. And indeed, using a pressure cooker you can prepare cow neck bones in about 1.5 hours.

The only disadvantage of my method is that you have to spend some time cutting the meat. But with time – it becomes easier.

I can now cut 2 pounds of beef neck into very small pieces in about 10-15 minutes which is very reasonable.

You can use other cuts of meat like the beef belly and even boneless ribs for this recipe.

The Importance of a Sharp Knife

To cut the beef neck into many (probably over 150) pieces – you must use a very sharp knife. In the past, I used dull cheap kitchen knives, and a task like this would probably take me an hour.

But when I started using good knives, everything changed. Now, cutting meat is easy! It cuts like butter. I recommend buying a good 8″ chef knife. It doesn’t have to be expensive.

Even on Amazon and Aliexpress, you can find decent chef knives for $40-50. Of course, they won’t be as good as a $300 Japanese chef knife, but for a home cook – they are good enough.
