Tuk-luth Steak

Rations of food are essential, having a food that can last the journey from coast to coast helps avoid uneccesary stops. Tuk-lulth Steak is one of the most flavorful options that can be used for this purpose, and in a worst case scenario it also makes good bait.

Tuk-luth Steak is a meat dish created as a result of the herding of the Tuk-luth in the Dolvalyn Sovereignty. It is a dried meat that is often consumed as a small part of meals or during adventures and travels.

Description

When butchered, Tuk-luth meat can often be extremely lean, resulting in a finer, but less flavorful taste. As a result, it is often cut extremely thin and coated with a layer of honey and often a unique spice blend created to the taste of the chef. After being coated and spiced, the meat is then covered with a dusting of Dembras Salt, which is known to protect the meat and ensure it dries out and locks in as much of the flavor as possible. The crystals are also known to divert additional heat from the meat allowing it to naturally dry and become more flavourful. The meat is then left to dry hanging up until it starts to petrify, drying out and taking on a rich pink colour that give it the traditional flavors of sweet and meaty. The meat usually last for several days if not properly stored. However, often a bundle of Tuk'luth Steak is contained in a sealed jar filled with more Dembras Salt which allows for the dried meat to be stored for several years before it will expire. Many describe the texture of Tuk-luth Steak as chewy, while others describe it as tender, which seems to result from the preparation and how the Tuk-luth was fed during its lifetime.

Dish	Ingredients	Description
Danyar Stew	Tuk-luth Steak Assorted Vegetables Manyard Bone Broth	Considered by many to be the best remedy on a cold winter's night, Danyar Stew was created by some explorer's as a way to keep themselves warm during their frozen trek into Tokevis. Combining the rations they had, they discovered that the Manyard Bone Broth combined with the Tuk-luth steak to create an almost warming effect, allowing the explorer's to push on. Upon their return, the stew was adapted to become a more specific recipe designed to help feed larger collections of people using minimal additional ingredients, including the addition of any available vegetables.
Yaltar Bread	Gerryn Bread Tuk-luth Steak Herbs	A side dish for larger meals, Yaltar Bread was first created as an expansion of Gerryn Bread, a simple grain and water combination that creates a flatbread. When combined with Tuk-luth Steak and various herbs, the bread gives a very varied and vibrant flavor profile. This allows many people to create a simple side dish that is often closely linked with religious ceremonies as the herbs and spices were often the same used by religious ceremonies in Dolvalyn Sovereignty.
