I hope this makes the sandwich cut. Lunch today.

Cucumber, lettuce, tomato, capsicum, lettuce, red onion, 30h slow cooked pulled girello 🥵, and some gravy made from the drippings. Dijon mustard and Mayo as the sauces.

Managed to keep most of the filling between the buns while eating.

Edit: I should share the recipes. For the girello/top round pulled meat: https://www.craftbeering.com/beef-eye-of-round-roast-slow-cooker/

And the gravy (admittedly not my favourite, but here it is): https://www.lecremedelacrumb.com/beef-broth-brown-gravy/

I felt it was missing a little something something, so I thought I would add back in a little bit of fat to see how it went. I added about a tablespoon (or two?) of salted butter. It was better, but still missing something. Not in any way like KFC gravy, but it pairs well enough with the meat.

What is girello?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Giraffe + armadillo.

Uh oh... I think it's also called eye of round? It's very lean.

Thank you! May I ask what country calls it girello?

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Australia 😎 Though I did find this cut at a fresh food market and I don't usually look for it and it caught my eye. I don't see this in supermarkets, so I'm not sure where else this sell this. Maybe fancy butchers, but I do g get paid enough to frequent those.

Huh. In the US eye round is one of the cheapest cuts available. It is extremely lean and so many people have trouble cooking it so it’s not tough. Not that any beef is cheap lately. It’s gotten ridiculous here.

Same here. I think it was something like $18.99/kg. Beef brisket is $17/kg. I don't eat a lot of the same meats, so I don't notice price increases a whole lot, but no doubt prices have increased in the last few years. Definitely noticed a lot of shrinkflation and skimpflation.

I call those “price gouging!”

also haven't heard that one before seems like it is some specific cut of the beef

The internet says:

Girello beef is sourced from the hind leg of the cow, specifically from well-exercised muscles. This area produces a lean, firm-textured cut with a robust beefy flavour. While it lacks the marbling found in pricier cuts, girello makes up for it with its satisfying taste and versatility.

Due to its low fat content, girello beef is an excellent option for health-conscious people or looking for a leaner choice. The cut has gained popularity for its ability to adapt to slow-cooking methods, where it becomes tender and absorbs flavours from accompanying ingredients.

I also can't find the cut in any supermarkets in Victoria, so this would make sense why I've never seen it before. It was an impulse buy because I had read about it that morning!
