Today I would like to introduce you to one of my favourite appetizers – grilled watermelon with goat’s cream cheese, crisp lamb’s lettuce and a honey-carrot thyme dressing. Continue reading Melon with goat cheese

Hanging tender
Hanging tender (French “Onglet”) – or kidney cone in German due to its position and shape – is “technically” considered to be offal, but as pure muscle meat it has basically nothing to do with it. Continue reading Hanging tender
CHÂTEAU BOEUF
CHÂTEAU BOEUF quality beef from France is an brand that is exclusively available at REWE. You can recognise the meat by its fresh and appetizing appearance in the service counter or the self-service areas, but also by the brand logo if necessary. Continue reading CHÂTEAU BOEUF
Yam Moo Yang from Duroc
As promised, you can read here how I proceeded with the grilled piece of pork loin from the Duroc. I took the chance to prepare one of my favourite Thai dishes – a salad with grilled pork. As a gimmick I use black instead of fresh garlic. Continue reading Yam Moo Yang from Duroc
Gut Bressau
In recent years, Polish heifers on German plates have become a real insider tip – often the ideal conditions for breeding and keeping them are unjustly misjudged regarding our direct neighbour. The exclusive supplier R&S therefore showed the right instinct when they started out with heifer meat from Gut Bressau. Continue reading Gut Bressau
Tomahawk Steak
The weekend was mighty sunny – reason enough to put up the grill again and “roast” a good piece of meat. Today it was time for the “Family Tomahawk” – here I got myself a great piece of meat from CHÂTEAU BOEUF. The meat of this brand is exclusively available at REWE and it is French premium quality from young bulls.
Duroc – Chops
It is certainly hard to avoid that you notice how much I am a fan of the Spanish Duroc pig. Very, very early on – when I was still going to school every morning through my grandfather’s butcher’s shop, pig still tasted like pig. Continue reading Duroc – Chops
Extremadura – Duroc Ribs
As I’m sure you’ve all heard by now, when it comes to pork, I’m a real Duroc lover. In terms of taste, I now prefer a well grilled Duroc tomahawk better than beef, but it should be 100% Duroc if possible. Continue reading Extremadura – Duroc Ribs
SCOTLAND HILLS
The premium beef of the brand SCOTLAND HILLS carries the label “Scotch Beef” and is produced according to high standards. On the one hand, the farms are regularly inspected by the Scottish animal welfare organisation SPCA on a voluntary basis and in unannounced spot checks. Thus, ethical breeding and rearing has been guaranteed in Scotland for many years – farms that violate the guidelines can be closed down without further ado. Secondly, the quality of all meat products is checked by Quality Meat Scotland. Continue reading SCOTLAND HILLS
SCOTCH Entrecôte
It wasn’t long ago that I had the SCOTLAND HILLS Cowboy Steak on the grill – today I wanted to know how delicious the entrecôte of this brand is. With foresight I had ordered a piece of entrecôte of almost 1.5 kg together with the rack of lamb, so it was just right. As always, I took the meat out of the cooler a good hour before use, removed the foil and patted it dry. Continue reading SCOTCH Entrecôte
Maxi France
The young bull meat of the brand Maxi France comes exclusively from France and impresses with its special tenderness. The beef breeds from which the young bull meat comes are the meat and dual-purpose beef breeds Charolais, Blonde d’Aquitaine, Normande, Limousin, Salers, Montbéliarde and their crossbreeds. The suppliers are handpicked on site and employees are often on the road in France to visit the farms and to check that everything is in order. Continue reading Maxi France
VIKINGYR
VIKINGYR lamb from Iceland is a very speciality. Lamb in itself is tender, but the lambs of this brand, which have all grown up on Iceland without exception, are not only literally “buttery tender”. Their meat also has a high proportion of fatty acids (omega-3), so it doesn’t necessarily have to be fish if you want to eat a healthy diet in terms of fat.
Continue reading VIKINGYR
SCOTCH Rack of Lamb
As I already mentioned in the article about SCOTLAND HILLS, this brand does not only offer great heifer meat but also excellent lamb. As the barbecue season has long since begun, it was time to prepare a classic – grilled lamb chops Greek style. Continue reading SCOTCH Rack of Lamb
Picanha
In Germany and Austria, the piece of beef that is supposed to be the subject of today has a long tradition – the Tafelspitz. This is the tendon-free, tapering tip of the tail – basically the hip cap of a cow. Continue reading Picanha
SCOTLAND HILLS Cowboy Steak
In the end I got my hands on a couple of Cowboy Steaks of the brand SCOTLAND HILLS by chance at EDEKA and was really surprised for a long time again. It had been a while since I was allowed to cook in a home environment with beef of such excellent quality. Continue reading SCOTLAND HILLS Cowboy Steak
Duroc – Pork loin
There are now all kinds of delicious pork – pork has been experiencing something of a renaissance in recent years. Since the Ibérico, the wool pig and other old breeds of pigs have been able to show how pork can actually taste, pork has been on the plates more and more often, especially during the barbecue season. Continue reading Duroc – Pork loin
Bavette (Flank Steak)
Even when it comes to the traditional steak, the eye & palate need a change now and then. In the last few years, new trends for more or less unusual cuts have been popping up on the horizon. This is also the case with the Flank Steak, which has been “on everyone’s lips” for a while now. Today I had the first Flank Steak of the brand Château Boeuf – a “Bavette aloyaux “– a really huge piece of meat. Continue reading Bavette (Flank Steak)
VIKINGYR Leg of lamb
After the many barbecues during the last days, it was time to take something out of the oven and onto the table. So, the fresh Icelandic leg of lamb came just in time – here my recipe for a delicious and uncomplicated dish:
Continue reading VIKINGYR Leg of lamb
Short Rib Session
I’ve loved ribs since my earliest childhood – although it was mostly pork ribs – especially when they came from the grill. Differently than with the ribs of the cattle, there were then rather times braised by my granny… Continue reading Short Rib Session
