ou812 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 What do you all beef eaters do about the lack and price of beef? was thinking i could buy meat at a small market and grind my own meat, hamburgers in thailand are expensive and tast like cr#p.

Ulysses G. Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 If you are used to good beef, you will never be satisfied with the beef here, but it is actually much better than it used to be. There are a few restaurants in town that do acceptable burgers and steaks, but no comparison to back home. I mostly try to stick with chicken instead as it is usually pretty good in Thailand.

market trader Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 If I were going to buy beef to grind myself I would start by looking at Rimpings offerings. Sure you may pay a few bahts more but IMO well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminatorchiangmai Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Prime beef from Rimping does the trick for me. I make burgers , steaks and roast beef from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Makro have good quality Australian beef but i don't use it to make burgers. At the price you have to pay for beef here, making burgers from it just seems a waste of good meat. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Pon Yang Kum has very good beef. They cut to spec. in a glassed in cool room. I've never asked for them to grind but it would be well worth the trip to go check it out and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 If you look around you will find several places with good hamburgers. Not on every corner like Farangland but there are quite a few around from plane Jane's which are nice when home made to the fancy Double whopper with cheese and bacon at Burger King or the big Joe's special with Bacon and Blue Cheese at the Dukes. They just don't hang signs out you have to look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARISTIDE Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Try the Rib fingers meat they sometime have at Rimping, I just made a burger out of them. Much cheaper than Chuck and very moist.

Mestizo Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I really like the Thai beef from Northern Farms... Chiang Mai Saloon offers 2 burgers. 1 made from the Northern Farms local beef and the other more expensive option is imported Aussie beef. The Northern Farms beef tastes much better and is cheaper. But of course, I've never been a fan of Aussie beef. To me it tastes a bit "off" and not as good as good ol' normal American beef. -Mestizo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

market trader Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Please correct me if I am wrong. But it is my belief that Australian beef is grass fed. Whereas I know that North American beef is grain fed. To me Australian beef tastes like shoe leather compared to North American beef. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas I know that North American beef is grain fed. To me Australian beef tastes like shoe leather compared to North American beef." "Grains" are just seeds from mature cereal grasses going into winter season. It's natural but usually small part of grass eaters diet. Most all cattle eat both but whether it can be called grass fed depends on the regulatory environment and ratio of grass to grain. The Aussie and New Zealand can be called grass fed because it's relatively high grass diet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_feeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me Australian beef tastes like shoe leather compared to North American beef. Not all Australian beef is 100% grass fed and neither is US beef. There are many feed lots,supplemented by grass feed in Oz.The taste and quality of any beef depends on the price and what "cut you" eat. Inevitably you get,in most cases, what you pay for. The best beef I have ever eaten came from Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At good steak restaurants you are offered a choice of either grain or grass fed beef. Grass fed beef seems, to my taste, to have more flavour while grain fed is more tender.

trainman34014 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Best beef i've ever tasted used to be in the U.S, where i believe the animal to be a 'steer' as opposed to a 'Bull'. I'm no expert but i always found U.S. steaks to be a lot more tender than any other i ever tried in more than 50 other countries. I find the best way to do Australian beef is roast it slowly wrapped in foil with sliced onion and garlic. Also good for beef casserole in the oven chopped into chunks with veg's and gravy. If i have any beef chunks left over i use them to make steak and kidney pies. Christ; now i feel hungry !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoli Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Makro. Their premium fresh ground beef is very good, but stay away from their cheaper version if you want a quality taste. It has just the right amount of fat to add the flavor, but not gain five pounds. Lawry's seasoning salt really gives a boost to the flavor.

DaamNaam Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 weren't cows mean't to eat grass Err, yes. lol Aussie beef is fine, in Australia that is. Rimpings own named beef is very good here and around the same prices we pay back home. Rib Eye and Sirloin both very good. Off topic but my mum worked in a butcher shop back home for nearly 20 years and says the pork here tastes much better and the beef as good as home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
