Your favorite cut of meat for a balance of taste and budget?
Your favorite cut of meat for a balance of taste and budget?
All day long I want to eat ribeyes. But they get expensive.
I try to mix it up and eat a variety. You can try to tenderize a tougher meat.
Yeah the toughness and the potential to taste dry gets to me. Maybe I need to embrace slow cooking or smokers more.
You can make any steak tender with a sous vide
Yep, especially since the pandemic. Costco is usually the best price in my city. If I go to the rural grocery stores, I can sometimes find a deal.
Costco recently has had sticker shock prices. I mean compared to three years ago it's kind of nuts.
It depends where I get it
I'll eat porterhouse or t-bone mostly, but one place near me cuts all the fat of both of those, and the only cut they leave the fat on is rump, so I buy rump when I shop there
Pork baby back ribs are my go-to. They're the only meat I can reliably make without ruining them.
Now that's an option. What brine or bark do you make?
Yeah, that's a way more sophisticated question than I'm qualified to answer, lol. I really just add salt, pepper, season-all, maybe lime juice if I have any. I've tried making marinades and they helped tenderize the meat, but I didn't really notice a taste. I normally use hickory wood when I grill, so that flavor overpowers everything else.
Saladino recommends ground beef. I like making burger patties and eat it like that.
I used to eat ground beef a ton. It started to cause me to throw up... I think may be because of the build of histamines. Always willing to try to eat more again.
