Historic day. Russian steak beef in Lavka.

Nov 21, 2010 00:19





We will be proud.  And shout  loudly : For the first time in Russia and in Lavka we have  a local Steak beef!   Meat breed bulls Angus and Galloway, living in Moscow and Tver Region.
It is that very meat - real beef, from which  steaks are made.  And that's the the meat, which  in Russia was only available in the import version.  Mostly,  Australian.

But now we have  meat revolution! So far not very ambitious, but  something we had to start with.

So, try to briefly and clearly tell the whole story: today we were at the farm of Myaukin Valery Borisovich in the village "Korovino" Mozhaisky area. There live cows of Angus and Galloway breeds.  This farm is involved in the National Association of Cattlebreeders.   And  Valery Borisovich himself is the president of the association.  With us was  Gernot Klammer - one of the founders of the Association.  He also has his own farm - in the Tver region, inhabited by 1,500 animals.



The perpouse of this association is to create and maintain a beef cattle breeding in Russia. Through the association the farmers will be able to build sales of meat - that is known to be the difficult case in Russia.  However, so far there is almost nothing to sell. In Russia there are now only a few thousand cows and bulls of meat breeds. All of this amount can be eaten pretty quickly. That's why we need to start to make quantity of cows for a start 10 times, and then 100 more.  In this case this is not possible without understanding how  actually to sell this meat here.  So as an experiment Lavka and Russian farmers from the Association start a project - selling the meat of domestic Angus and Galloway.



Now about the meat. The meat you order in Lavka.  And wait- from 1 to 4 weeks. Why so long?  Because a)  there are not so many bulls b) all bulls are slaughtered by order c) meat is aged after slaughter for approximately 20 days.
Each package of the farmers association will have a stamp - the date of slaughter.  That is, you will know how much the meat was aged.



Orders for the meat we begin to take now.  Something we have already right now.  Something will have to wait.
In addition, on Sunday we're going to have a master class on cooking steaks, and at the same time the presentation of this very meat.

That's what is going to happen:
