The best meat for a wonderfully juicy goulash comes from the hind calf, as the meat here is much richer in connective tissue. This is exactly what the meat benefits from during slow braising. With Fitmeat, this piece of meat is completely freed from any unwanted tendons. The long braising process creates an incredibly tender meat flavour that is second to none.
Meat knowledge
The hindquarter is a very active part of the beef, with long fibres and a lot of connective tissue. This means that the meat needs to be braised for a long time before it becomes tender. This makes it the perfect choice for a hearty goulash or stew.
Perfect beef for goulash and more
Slow cooking melts the collagen in the meat, making it wonderfully tender and juicy. Smocking can also achieve the same effect. For this reason, veal from the back of the calf is a popular choice for barbecues.
Why buy beef from Fitmeat?
In contrast, cattle on factory farms are simply bred quickly to generate as much turnover as possible. This inhumane and deadly way of keeping animals is not only morally reprehensible, it also has a negative effect on the quality and taste of the meat. As a result, the meat is watery, has little flavour and develops no aroma when cooked.
Quantity per person
We recommend one kilogram of goulash meat for three to four people.
Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
