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 πŸ˜‚ Also had potatoes and carrots roasting under the meat.

Sandwiches and wraps for the week, for sure!

What is that a 50 dollar chunk of meat, 100 even?

What is the cut, and price per pound?

Ohhh.. Goddammit.. fuck.. Jesus.. GAAAAHH!

Fuck you, you do this to me when I haven't eaten since before noon today. :(

NGL, that looks heavenly.

LOL!

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you! And I'm sure my partner will be happy to comply LOL.

There's plenty, come on over. You'll have to fight off the swooping magpies first, though, and kangaroos out back. They've all been pretty fierce lately.

Do you live in a looney toons cartoon?

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

just wait until you hear about dropbears

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

And the loop worms. I forgot to add that I also have redbacks and golden orbweavers outside my house, too.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Having studied abroad in AU for about half a year long ago the only thing I'm really scared of there for the most part is funnel webs lol but that's just an irrational fear because they can bite through shoes and I never really encountered them backpacking through the blue mountains. I took many a big huntsman out from our international housing to release them outside in oversized tupperware. fast spideys, but good spideys

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I don't do white tails, funnel webs or redbacks in the house. Anything else, I catch them if they're smaller than a 5 cent coin, otherwise I chase it out with a broom. You're braver than I!

I've seen some of the deadly snakes out here, and they scare me more. I did a stint on a farm, and on day one, the owner told me to make sure the doors stay closed or the snakes come in. DAY ONE. I did have a "pet" huntsman that ran the house, and I had no issues with it around. It was games of hide and seek every day.

What did you use for marinade?

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce

2 tbsp dijon mustard

2 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tbsp white sugar

2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp black pepper

2 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary.

I mushed it all up in a ziploc bag, dropped the meat in, squished out as much air as I could, and just massaged it in to the meat. Let it sit in a shallow bowl in the fridge, and it's ready to go in 24h! Admittedly, I realise now that I forgot the Worcestershire sauce, but it was still pretty amazing flavour.

Roasting instructions: 240C/450F for 20 minutes, 180C/350F for about 1h after that. I'd check at the 40 minute mark to see if it's reached 44C/111F. I've moved and my oven is a little pathetic, so it took about an hour.

(You can roast potatoes and carrots and things with it too. Put it all under the meat so they roast up nicely and soak up the marinade.)

Whenever it hits 44C, take it out, put a piece of foil over it for about 20m to rest, then have at 'er!

Edit: Oh gods, the formatting of the ingredients, I'm so sorry. I don't know how to fix it other than double-enter them all. Apologies for the extra long post.

What is β€œBolar Blade” exactly?

[–] Contentedness@lemmy.nz 1 points 7 hours ago

The bolar blade is cut from the shoulder clod portion of the Chuck. It does a lot of work during the steer’s lifetime, and is thus tough & has a lot of connective tissue, but also excellent flavor.

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!

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 4 points 5 hours ago

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).

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

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. πŸ˜…

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

I want it tender and soft to chew I guess. That's all that matters to me. Whatever color that might be.

[–] NachBarcelona@piefed.social 5 points 7 hours ago

Yes, the only in billions πŸ˜… seriously, no, a lot of people want their meat like you do. It boils down (heh) to preference.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 2 points 6 hours ago

Yes.

The rest of us like flavor and tenderness, not shoe leather.

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

This reminds me of Ron’s mom.

[–] Gunrigger@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Everything reminds me of her

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, this has flown over my head. :( But thank you? (Maybe?)

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If I'm reading this right, he's making a reference to vagina.
