The Australian Embassy in the Philippines and Meat and Livestock Australia invited me to be part of the Australian Grassfed Beef on the Menu Culinary Trail 2017 from June 27 to July 6. A culinary adventure as Manila’s finest restaurants serves up specially-created menus featuring premium Australian grassfed beef.
Australian grassfed beef is good in every way. Raised in pastures, Australian grassfed beef has a natural beefy and flavorful taste. It is a source of Omega-3 fatty acids fats mostly found in fish which are generally regarded as healthful, which is important for a healthy heart. It has less saturated fat, making it a great component of a healthy diet.
Australian Ambassador to the Philippines Amanda Gorely invites diners to experience the different ways Australian grassfed beef is prepared in customised menus by the participating restaurants -from steaks, meat pies, burgers, pasta dishes, among others, served in a la carte and buffet menus.
Grassfed Beef usually has higher concentrations of some nutrients: antioxidants, some vitamins, and it also has less fat overall. The way cows are fed can have a major effect on the nutrient composition of the beef. Many studies have shown that the nutrients in beef can vary depending on what the cows eat.
Australia is the leading source of grassfed beef, as 97% of its cattle are grassfed. Australian grassfed beef is considered as the healthier beef, as it is naturally low in fat and cholesterol while offering a high level of Omega 3 fatty acids known to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of certain cancers.
I am well prepared that day when we had our Grassfed Beef Trail, I knew for a fact that we will be going to different restaurants to another and I got excited because I am a foodie person and I love to blog anything that has to do with Gastronomy.
A culinary experience awaits diners in Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao as over 60 restaurants participate in the second Australian Grass Fed Beef on the Menu Promotion. The first Australian grassfed beef experience was offered to Manila diners in 2015 but this year, it has been expanded outside Manila.
I don't know much about Beef but I know it is an expensive and indeed delicious meal to eat. And I am privileged to be part of the Trail 6 batch with 4 restaurants we had toured such as:
The True Grill
