Newest cash and carry projects for me
« on: September 21, 2017, 04:27:53 PM »
Going to Cash & Carry again this weekend.  I'll be picking up:

A boneless ribeye roast $6.44/lb to cut into 2" steaks
A boneless beef top round $2.28/lb to trim, roast, and slice into roast beef for sandwiches
A swiss cheese loaf $2.55/lb to add to the cheese smoking list.

Ribeyes are just awesome, we eat a ton of roast beef sandwiches in this house and I just bought a meat slicer so, I'll just make my own roast beef for 1/3 of the price we're paying for it at the store, and I already have a 15lb swiss cheese loaf for smoking, might as well make it two.  I have a roll of provolone, and 2 15lbs loafs of sharp cheddar for smoking as well.  Just waiting for the weather to get a bit cooler

I fail hard core at that stuff.  Cut and freeze.  That's all I'm good for

Ended up with a 19lb rib roast, a 30lb top round, and a 10lb pork loin

After trim, that top round should still be at least 25lbs.  I plan on cutting it into 5lb chunks.  3 for roast beef and I am gonna try my hand at pastrami with the other two

All steaks were cut to 1.5" thick.  After trimming, I ended up with 4 of these almost 2lb'ers, 2 in at 28oz, 2 in at 26oz, and 2 in at 24oz and one single steak off the end that was about 3/4" thick.  I taste tested that one just a little bit ago.  Two thumbs up!

Now, with the 10 steaks cut at 1.5" thick for $120, based on ribeye prices in the store, I think I got a good deal.  I think anyway.

The wife and I are cooking the 24oz steaks on Sunday and the rest will be double vacuum sealed and saved for birthdays and anniversaries

I've never made corned beef

Corned beef is so easy. I got the recipe from Outdoor Life years ago. Absolutely the best way for people who don't like the taste of venison. Great for shoulders and other tough cuts. This is about the same recipe:

Estimates were off.  To be expected since this in my first top round primal.  I ended up with 3, 5lb chunks and 6lbs of burger meat.  I'm making 1 roast beef and 2 pastrami's.  Never made pastrami before so this will be good or REALLY bad.

Double
Are you smoking the cheese as a whole loaf or do you cut into smaller portions?
I usually do about 2 inch slabs when I get a large loaf.
