Steak is cheaper!

October 28th, 2006 at 09:51 pm

I thought i would get a roast for sunday, we have not had one in a while. But I find that because steak is on sale, I can get two steaks cheaper than I can buy a roast. Well, I prefer steak over roast, so that is what I bought.
I got N.Y. strip.
I have never bought or eaten sirloin steak cause I thought it might be tough. Does anyone every cook them in a crockpot to get them tender?

    Eeek! Don't slow cook striploin!

    It's a wonderful, tender cut perfect for grilling on the BBQ or broiling in the oven. Save the slow methods for tough steaks.

    If you're ever wondering what to do with a particular cut of beef, try http://www.beeffoodservice.com/Default.aspx

    Just look under "Cuts".

    It's aimed at the foodservice industry, but has lots of good information.

    This page has a good diagram as well: http://www.certifiedangusbeef.com/chef/cuts.php

    Have a great steak!

    P.S. Sorry for the edits, but does anyone know why the vB codes don't seem to work on these comments?

    ima, sirloin is still pretty tender, as long as you pick one that's decently marbled. if you want to make triple sure, though, this is my friend's trick: lay out your sirloins, stab them a 10 times or on both sides with a fork (like you would a potato before you bake it). season it to your choice and let them sit in the fridge as long as you'd like. a seasoning with salt will help tenderize. grill 'em up and they should be aok. and if they're not to your taste texture-wise, they slice up great for stirfry or chili (and thin slices are almost always tender).

    Mmmmm. I love steak. Ribeye is my favorite. Nowadays, the only time I ever eat steak is on special occasions when I am out at a restraunt. It burns me when I get a bad steak, especially when you consider how much they will charge for those things.
