Black Angus Party Recipes
Christmas recipes: the prized Black Angus
Christmas is upon us, among the triumphs of local appetizers, fish-based menus and relatives, the menu for the holidays is starting to become a serious matter. Meat never dissatisfies anyone (or almost anyone) and a tasting box is able to offer many different cuts of meat to please everyone.
For this Christmas, we thought of a truly tasty Black Angus -based menu: a fresh appetizer and a truly inviting main dish. Carpaccio pleases everyone thanks to the balance of vegetables, light flavors and fresh meat; the terrine of mixed meats in jelly conquers even the most sceptical. And if you really want to dare with some other slightly more complex dish, we have selected some recipes already published in our blog to create super tasty dishes but revisited with Black Angus meat. Ready, apron and go!
