Funzionalità Premium
Costela no Bafo is characterized by a rich, smoky, and intensely beefy flavor, enhanced by simple seasoning.
The primary flavor is derived from the beef ribs themselves, specifically the cut containing ample fat and connective tissue. The 'bafo' method, meaning 'breath' or 'steam', concentrates the meat's natural juices and renders the fat, resulting in a deeply savory and tender texture. Coarse salt (sal grosso) is the most common seasoning, allowing the beef's inherent flavor to shine through. Some variations may include garlic, herbs, or a dry rub for added complexity, but the emphasis remains on showcasing the quality of the beef.
Funzionalità Premium
Meat Selection
Choose ribs with ample marbling and fat content, as this contributes significantly to the flavor and tenderness.
Temperature Control
Maintain a low and consistent temperature throughout the cooking process to ensure even cooking and prevent the meat from drying out.
Salting
Use coarse salt (sal grosso) generously, allowing it to penetrate the meat during the cooking process. The salt helps to draw out moisture and enhance the beef's natural flavor.
Resting
Allow the cooked ribs to rest for at least 30 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful final product.
