Red meat over flame: an Aussie tradition

The foodservice sector is one of the industries hardest hit by COVID19. With many businesses either having their revenue streams reduced, operations changed or shut down completely due to social distancing, the Foodservice and Retail team has had to think outside the box to ensure red meat stays on plates across the country.

To inspire the foodservice industry to serve innovative red meat dishes which are suitable for takeaway, MLA launched a video series ‘Red meat over flame: an Aussie tradition’.

The series of 11 videos developed by MLA’s Corporate Chef Sam Burke feature a range of beef, lamb and goat dishes including primal and sub-primal cuts.

To help foodservice providers use these dishes straightaway, Sam provides guidance on how each dish can be presented in a takeaway, contactless environment, and as a traditional plated dish for those eating at home.

  4. For Paella: Place stock and saffron in a saucepan, bring to the boil. Set aside to infuse.
  5. Heat oil in a paella pan or large frying pan over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add chorizo, followed by carrots and capsicums, cook for a further 5 minutes. Lower heat and add rice, cook, stirring for 5 minutes.
