I love the pre-packed pork tenderloins from the grocery store.



Combine them with vegetables and potato/rice and you've got a delicious meal in 25 minutes.

Anyone have any other ways to cook them? I've done a roulade with the un-seasoned ones, but normally I just sear and throw in the oven then slice it up.

I'm actually a big fan of a grilled one with chile-lime glaze here. Alton Brown's is actually a very good example. Takes a little longer than 25 minutes but I still find it fast enough for a weeknight meal. I prep it with grilled veggies and some mexican-style black beans (fry cumin seeds in some butter, add garlic/onions, chili powder, then add some of your prepared marinade from the other recipe since it has lime and chili that you'd normally add to the black beans anyway. Then you can top with cilantro as well.

I have a Tri-tip roast that I want to cook at 450 with some vegetables underneath, it's about 1 1/2lb and I think I should cook it about 15-20 minutes? Should I cook the vegetables longer or would that be fine? I don't have much experience roasting and google is giving me varying times.

It hasn't been updated in a while and not very often before then but you might get some mileage out of http://www.maangchi.com/ especially if you like Korean. There are lots of good recipes in the archives.

I finally was able to get ahold of my grandmothers world famous lasagna recipe :woop:

12 lasagna noodles
1 tablespoon oil
1 clove garlic (minced)
1/2 onion (diced)
2 pounds ground beef
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
1/2 teaspoon paprika
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1 (8-ounce package) six cheese blend (shredded)
9 slices American cheese
1 (16-ounce jar) tomato sauce (store-bought)
fresh parsley (to garnish)

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook noodles for half of the time of package instructions.
Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add garlic and onion, stir until onions are translucent. Add meat, cook until brown. Add Italian seasonings and paprika and 1 cup of sauce to the meat. Stir to combine.
Drain par-cooked pasta. In a lasagna pan, layer noodles on bottom of pan. Add 1/3 meat mixture, 1/3 of all cheeses and 1/3 of sauce. Continue steps until three layers are made ending with cheese.
Place uncovered in oven for 30 to 40 minutes until cheese melts fully.
Garnish with fresh parsley.

Hot sauce! Remove stems, blanch lightly (30-40 seconds in boiling water), and then blend/process with some vinegar and salt.

Any kind of pepper pickles well!

After reviewing the suggestions, I think chili oil is the easiest, most flexible solution.

All peppers pickle pretty well, but not all of them dry well.

In terms of raw flexibility, just pickling 'em in straight vinegar is probably the best, simply because you can sub in a pickled pepper in almost any dish you'd want a fresh pepper for, and in most of them the added note of vinegar isn't going to be a problem. Same with poo poo like pepper jams/jellies, candied peppers, and so on (that is, you can make 'em with pickled peppers instead of fresh if you have to).

But I mean guy was asking for like half a grocery store tray of the things. I'd just loving throw them in the next wok full of stir-fried [whatever] I made and `problem' solved.

I don't know where to begin.

Why would there be a company dedicated exclusively to direct sales of mail-order steak? They'd have to Veblen the poo poo out of it-the variable infra costs for a meat-focused mail-order company have to be ginormous.

How would they maintain volume and stock versus demand? No one would buy from them more than once, right? But, then, who on earth buys into a mail-order Steak of the Month Club? Do they chuck all their unsold product, or resell it to other companies through a different storefront?

Why are they sending me flier ads in the mail? Why am I getting cold called in the early morning by Omaha Steaks salespeople? How does that whole sales model exist in this day and age? Is it a pyramid scheme? It sounds like a Donald Trump company. Seriously, I think Trump actually sold mail order steaks for a while. Is this a Trump company? They have a Private Meat Reserve. What does that mean? It's not aged meat, so...do they store it in whiskey casks?

All of their steaks look really mediocre in their ads, and they're all seasoned to hell. Who is their target demographic? Bad steak addicts? white elephant parties?

How are they

I thought that the business model was selling individual restaurant portions of meat to the general public. When they go door to door, I seem to remember the pitch being: "All meat is shipped frozen, ours just doesn't get thawed until you are ready to cook it."

I got a gift certificate one year for Christmas. The convenience level was pretty high (although this is less valuable to people like us who know how to use a knife), but the quality was very middle of the road. It was... OK.

I wonder what the cost difference is if you just go to a restaurant supply distributor and get a case of frozen steaks. The ones in this area (Gordon Food Service) don't require a membership or anything.

If they just sold individual portions, I could understand them existing, although not doing as well as they seem to. But most of their advertising is for quantities of protein that are too large for one person and too small for industrial distribution or for events.


They don't have a single pic of any protein that's not got some kind of spice/herb seasoning on it. I think they might be bankrolled by House Atreides.

On meat-talk. Is there a way suppliers can "bloat" meat with water or something? A couple of times I've bought good-looking meat from my local supermarket and when grilling there's way too much liquid going everywhere. Even the meat turns out having a weird texture, maybe even "spongey"?
