U.S. Beef Tasted Again At USMEF Kickoff
An array of international cuisines teased the taste buds of guests at a USMEF reception in Taipei today. Dishes varied in flavor and aroma, but had one welcome element among them: U.S. beef.
The U.S. Beef Reception is part of the many activities USMEF is conducting to welcome back U.S. beef to Taiwan. The reception, sponsored by the Texas Beef Council, was held outside in the beautiful gardens at the Agora Garden Hotel for more than 150 guests from the food industry in Taiwan.
The versatility of U.S. beef was highlighted as it was featured in Texas-style dishes, Chinese hot pot, Taiwanese stir-fry and Japanese barbecue.
“We wanted to remind the industry of the variety of ways to prepare U.S. beef using different cuts and cooking methods,” said Davis Wu, USMEF Taiwan director. “The rib-eyes prepared Texas-style provided an original taste of U.S. beef, while the other regional preparations demonstrated how popular local dishes can be enhanced by U.S. beef.”
U.S. beef is becoming widely available at retail stores in Taiwan. Costco’s flagship Neihu store in Taipei, one of the top single sales outlets for U.S. beef in all of Asia, has fully restocked its beef cases with a wide variety of U.S. beef including steak cuts, top blade muscle, rib finger, heel muscle and boneless short ribs.
Low prices for boneless short ribs, considered a delicacy by Asian consumers and a profit-earner for traders due to its versatility, also have been warmly welcomed by restaurants.
"I would buy container loads of U.S. boneless short ribs if I could store them," said Moxie Huang, manager of Hutong Yakiniku Dining Bar in Taipei.
