It must just be a squick factor thing for you. Some people just don’t like the mouthfeel of a lot of fat.

I myself often eat pure fat – either beef or pork. I just slice it about 3/4 inch thick and fry it. I consider fried pork fat sprinkled with a wee bit of sea salt to be the ultimate food, taste-wise. Also, being The Thrifty Mom I like the price … a LOT. My butcher gives it to me for free!

If you eat pork, I’d try frying down some pork fat. It cooks a bit crisper. You may get used to it over time.

On a different note, I have to say that the concept of a $30 steak – much less an *gulp* hundred $$ steak made me break out into a cold sweat!

I’ve cooked plenty of $30.00 steaks, but they were a LOT bigger than this thing. You’re probably right about the “squick factor” haha.

Personaly I would eat a steak like that totaly RAW. Thin slises and some pepper and salt. A healthy feast.

Sure, go for it. But then, of course, you’d miss the fun of playing with the Sous Vide Supreme!

It’s true. Eggs help a lot in a weight loss program. New study suggests eating eggs can help people cut the calories. It doesn’t mean you should eat eggs all day. You can control your caloric intake if you include eggs in your diet. Eating eggs doesn’t just help you lose weight. It is beneficial to overall health. Eggs are good for eyes because they have lutein. They also contain vitamins D and A. You will be amazed to see how important they are for your health. Good luck!

who’s counting calories here? not me! I dont count anything, just avoid sugar and starch. Anyway, the egg-fest thing was a tribute to Jimmy Moore, who ate only eggs/cheese/butter for an entire month. I lasted two days. That will be the subject of my next post, btw, so stay tuned….

Weight Loss Software…

5. Exercise: Now, this is extremely important. You must clearly understand that for you to lose weight, you need to adopt a double approach. While you can limit your fat intake by controlling your diet, it is essential for you to get physically active …

This smells like spam (it had a link to a suspicious web site, and no email address, and had nothing to do with this post…), but I’ll approve it anyway, because it’s a load of nonsense! I’ll post my views on “getting physically active” in the very near future…”

Comment on Sous-vide grass-fed beef-a-palooza! by Jason Logsdon

I eat both grass-fed and “evil” meat sous vide and I’ve found that the grass-fed tends to turn almost mushy after a comparable time in the water-bath as the normal grocery store meat. It seems to be more apparent for the longer cooked items like shoulder or london broil. If I cut the cooking time in half it seems to solve the problem.

I was wondering if you had run into it at all? Thanks!

not really.. tho the longest I’ve done with grass-fed has been for the hangar steak, about 24 hours. Comes out fantastic. A strip steak I did for 24 hours had a weird texture, but other steaks have come out great.. so who knows?

Comment on Grilling Very Tender Grass Fed Beef by Cheryl Newman

Very interesting process and idea! I enjoyed your post very much. I work with La Cense Beef, they are an all natural “Grass Fed Beef
”
ranch located in Montana. It is true, grass fed is much better for you, the animals and the environment, but it can be hard to prepare and harder to keep the meat tender. Your ideas are very helpful for those who want to eat something more healthy but are not will to compromise good taste! La Cense Beef sells some tasty and excellant cuts of beef, you should definitely try this approach with our selections.

I will definitley give La Cense a looksie. I’m a long way from Montana, so I hope they have an internet store?

I had been thinking of making my own as well – just haven’t gotten around to it yet! I think I’ll split my chicken in half…because that sandwich was huge! Thanks for sharing…PS – yes I made it with hamburger meat last summer, and it was great.
Yeah I gotta split it in two, otherwise it’s a huge unmanageable mess. But a tasty unmanageable mess!
