I would never have guessed.

Never frozen a steak before. I buy them the day I make them.

Just to make u all think I’m crazy, tonight’s dinner was carpaccio. Fillet steak cut very thin, hammered thin actually, a touch of olive oil and pepper, and eaten raw. Yummmm. Ok, we had some French fries on the side. And those we did heat up.

How do you slice it? Do you have an electric slicer?

Just had some Bresaola last week that was great.

@mik butcher does it

I came very close to ordering tartare the other evening and was thinking of you while I was considering it…

I’ve got two Rib roasts in the freezer. One’s being cut down for ribeyes next week, the other will be made into Prime Rib for my Birthday…

I got home from work and was preparing to cook dinner when I discovered the chicken breasts I had put in the fridge over night were still mostly frozen (a certain toddler can reach the refrigerator settings now)… I was going to put them back in and thaw for tomorrow when I remembered this thread…

So I tossed them between a couple of pieces of Saran Wrap, pounded the hell out of them with a mallet, tossed on some lemon pepper and seared them for 1 minute each side in the cast iron then put them in a 400 degree oven. It took 20 more bites to come to temp, but these were the best chicken breasts I ever cooked…
