Mystery Meat in Chinese Dishes
Posted on 5/24/15 at 12:10 pm

What is the cut of beef that Chinese restaurants usually use in their beef stir fry dishes? It has a texture that suggests it has a lot of connective tissue. Is it shoulder?
And what part of the animal does "stew meat" come from?

Last time we took the kids to hibachi our chef told us it was seagull. He was kidding but it did make me wonder.

I always figured it was chuck, cut thin with the grain - not across the grain.

Better question. What meat is used on chicken on the stick?no part of the chicken is shaped like that.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. No part of the chicken is shaped like anything but a chicken until a knife gets involved.

Most stir fry is made with flank.
Most good beef stew is chuck.

The texture is influenced by a process called velveting. For more information, see LINK.

It's overwritten intentionally. The link was more for velveting than anything else though.
