DennisLinkletter Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Not sure what causes this color on the meat but it's always great tasting Q...
Rak Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Oystershell would look great as a tile or pebble

wilburpan Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 I’ve seen that iridescent pattern on beef before, usually in Chinese food. What seems to be key is slicing a cut of beef with well-defined fibers across the grain, like in skirt steak. That doesn’t guarantee the iridescence, but I’ve never seen that look with beef sliced with the grain.
bosco Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 It's called diffraction grating. I just googled it so this is not jeopardy smart bosco Wilburpan hit the nail on the head with the cross grain cutting. "when cooked beef is sharply sliced against the grain of the muscle fiber, this, coupled with the moisture in the beef, creates an excellent surface for producing rainbows. The reason it shows up in roast beef is because the cuts of meat that are used in most roast beef are more prone to iridescence, particularly in the round".
tony b Posted January 26, 2016 Report Posted January 26, 2016 Sorry, but I had to do it, seeing as I just saw a post online about some fool rapper who's claiming he can prove that the world really is flat!
