Ep. 58: Bacon, Beef & Feasting, Part 2

In this episode, Brandon and Lauren discuss: methods of cooking lean meats - barding, larding and confit; preserving (and tenderizing) a side of beef by hanging it; how it is that beef can be both dry and juicy at the same time;  and how to make a deliciously tender meal from a tough cut of meat.
