Favorite meat?

I'm getting bored of pork, chicken, and shrimp. What is your favorite meat to use? What recipe? Thanks!

Those are the ones I usually work with too, but I also sometimes use ground turkey and chicken sausage. This week I've got a Cajun cauliflower rice recipe from Pinterest that I'm going to try that uses chicken andouille sausage in it 👍 Pinterest is where I find a lot of recipes

Venison when I can trick encourage a friend into sharing after a hunt. Otherwise, salmon and some white-fleshed fish (think cod, sole, etc).

My newest discovery is Basque style steaks. These are retired dairy cows that have been put to pasture for a year or two to fatten up and chilll out after menopause and are 9 to 16 years old. The meat is very well marbled, and has a stronger gamier flavour than typical beef cattle slaughtered at an adolscent 28 months. Actually a little like venison. I like the fact that it is a more sustainable way to eat steak.

My first order of Basque beef pictured here are a bone in ribeye and some rump. You can see the beautiful marbling. At a dinner party on the weekend one of the guests wanted her steak well done and I tried a slice of her well done rump and was surprised it was still tender, probably due to the marbling.

I have since discovered that there are UK suppliers of retired dairy prime beef who do mail order, which is half the price of the Basque import.

Charizo is great if you're eating high fat and like spicy food.

Gold Wagyu beef strip steaks, mmmm!
Boneless skinless chicken thighs are flavorful and a nice change from chicken breast.
For salmon: corn grits with salmon (freshly grilled or just from a ready to eat salmon pouch) and bbq sauce. Top with some chopped green onions.
Chorizo is great with eggs and cheese as a breakfast burrito.
Ground turkey makes some excellent meatballs.
Shepherd’s pie: half ground beef, half ground lamb (cooked), cream of mushroom soup, canned green beans, top it with mashed potatoes. Brush the top with an egg white & milk wash, sprinkle liberally with black pepper & garlic powder.

Chicken thigh, it's not as dry (ok, it's also not as lean) as chicken breast, but I like the flavour more, depending on how I'm preparing it - typically we put it on a grill or I roast it in the oven with some nice garlic and rosemary potatoes and brussels sprouts. Also, turkey - I'll sometimes get it ground and make meat sauces out of it.

When I used to eat meat it was probably Salmon or Trout.
