Master Chef Tarek Ibrahim knows his way around a kitchen and most importantly how to cook his Australian beef and lamb to perfection.
But to know the whole story of how it is raised and the farming families behind its creation, the Middle East’s chef set out on a culinary adventure for a new three-part television series in search of Australia’s finest produce.
His mission; learn what makes Australian beef and lamb so special and create taste sensations using some of the nation’s quality ingredients to bring his discoveries to life.
“I set out to learn more about Australia and the wonderful qualities of this nation’s beef and lamb, but what I never expected was to be taken on a genuine Australian food odyssey of the culinary senses,” Tarek said.
On his adventures, Tarek visits cattle and sheep farms, gets a taste of station life in the saddle, up in the air and in the yards working up close with livestock to gain an understanding of how Australian beef and lamb makes its way from the paddock to the plate.
“Actually setting foot on the farm, seeing the cattle and sheep fit and healthy in the paddock, learning about the pastures they graze and the natural conditions they are raised in was eye-opening and reassuring,” Tarek said.
“Australian beef and lamb is grazed in a land blessed with golden sunshine and lush green pastures — it’s a product of its pure environment. This is enhanced by a sophisticated traceability program, one of the strictest food safety standards in the world and a world-leading halal assurance program, which adds up to one of the most trusted sources of red meat,” the chef added.
Travelling Tarek’s Australian Adventures airs at 1.50 p.m. Sunday (June 19) on Fatafeat HD, distributed on beIN platforms, channel number 113.
