Made roast beef last night, medium rare. Used bolar blade, marinated for 24 hours. Turned out really well, and photo shows that I don’t know how to slice meat properly 😂 Also had potatoes and carrots roasting under the meat.
Sandwiches and wraps for the week, for sure!
Edit: It’s been a real weird last few days. Slipped my mind to post recipe: https://www.recipetineats.com/marinated-roast-beef/
Am I the only person who likes well done meat, where it’s cooked all the way through? Everyone loves it pink in the middle except me!
Yes, the only in billions 😅 seriously, no, a lot of people want their meat like you do. It boils down (heh) to preference.
Well, growing up, I only saw how my dad ate steak - well done. I think my mum didn’t have any issues because it was cooked all the way through so it was much less risk of her kids getting sick.
I’ve grown out of that. I don’t eat steak often but when I do, it is only medium rare.
So you’re part of the population who’s less likely to get sick, though I feel for your jaw. 😅
I used to be like that. Grew up living with my grandparents some of the time and they cooked everything to death in the interest of food safety. Granted, they grew up in the '30s in very rural places with no refrigeration so that probably played a role. It took me a while to get used to eating things less well done, but I gradually got there. Now I eat a bunch of stuff that’s just plain raw and that’s fine, too (though in the once a year or so I have a steak or similar, I go medium-rare to medium depending).
I want it tender and soft to chew I guess. That’s all that matters to me. Whatever color that might be.
Yes.
The rest of us like flavor and tenderness, not shoe leather.
My husband always thought he did, but is slowly coming around. He will order “medium well” at restaurants but last time he did that, he got it and said it was overcooked, lol. Probably because at home I say “cooked on the outside not on the inside please, we spent a lot of money on this.”
Stew meat cooks forever and is better for it, but not steak, no.
I vastly prefer a medium rare steak, but a beef roast stays juicy all the way to well done (and is kinda unpleasantly chewy at medium rare)
