Description
Angus steaks refer to steaks or cuts of meat from the Angus cattle breed, which is globally recognized for the superior quality of its meat. This breed, originally from Scotland, has become popular in many parts of the world, especially in high-end meat-producing countries, for its tender, juicy meat with an intense and balanced flavor.
Angus steaks are often prized in cooking for their soft texture and marbling (intramuscular fat distribution), which adds juiciness and flavor to dishes, making them ideal for roasts, grills, stews, and sautés. Angus meat is distinguished by its nutritional profile, which includes a good protein content and healthy fats, in addition to being an excellent source of iron and B-complex vitamins.
In different Spanish-speaking countries, Angus steaks may also be known as Angus fillets, Angus chops, or simply angus when referred to in an informal culinary context. In regions such as Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and other South American countries, the term "bistec" is the most common way to refer to a thin cut of meat for frying or grilling.
