As one of the top female butchers
and fresh meat educators in
North America, Kari Underly
knows how to get the most from
the meat counter. “ I look for
marbling for flavor and a good
pink or red color,” she says. “ I
also think about sustainability—
we can't all pick the tenderloin.
There's much more to choose
from that is easy to cook and
great to eat.”
Kari is a third-generation
butcher and founder of Range
Inc., a consultancy that helps
companies in the perishables
marketplace. She is also author
of
The Art of Beef Cutting,
due
out this fall.

“ Look at the grocery
store ads. The store
w ill have a lot of
what's on sale, and
the staff w ill be ready
w ith some ideas for
how to use it or there
may be a recipe idea in
the sale paper.”

“ Different cuts are
usually arranged by
cooking m ethod—
cuts for roasting and
braising are together
and cuts for grilling
and pan-cooking are
together. M any meat
labels now come w ith
suggestions that w ill
tell you what cooking
method is best. And
don't hesitate to
request a special cut.
Just order it a week or
so ahead.”

“ If you're not cooking
the meat right away,
you don't necessarily
need to throw it in the
freezer. Look at the
sell- or use-by date
and cook or freeze
by then. To freeze
it, w rap in freezer
paper and place in a
freezer bag to prevent
m oisture loss.”
