Meatgistics Podcast: Rack em' Up!
-
@NDMike What I grew up knowing as tiger meat was raw, seasoned, ground beef.
Are we talking about the same thing?processhead…yep. Around here it is very lean pieces of beef that is ground, lots of spices added, and usually has chopped onion and green pepper in it. It is great on a snack crackers like Ritz. I love the stuff. When we hang out and have driveway beers with the neighbors we often will go through a half pound of it.
-
processhead…yep people are just too afraid to try things. Have you ever had tiger meat?
@ndmike Never had the opportunity, what do you compare it to?
-
Chef the texture is similar to a liver pate but more course. It is spreadable. The flavor is peppery with hints of garlic and onion. Then there is some crunch from raw onion and raw green pepper. There is a 1 raw egg put in per lb to help with the bind.
-
Chef The uncooked beef is so different in flavor than well done cooked beef. If you like your steaks or other beef really rare, then the flavor is not too different than what you are accustomed to. The seasonings are what make it so unique.

Tiger meat recipe?
I have tried to make it but can’t get it right -
glen I found this.

@ndmike Sounds extremely interesting. I can think of several applications. Not sure where I could get some.

Thank you, yes, I was trying to remember the name of the other raw dish. Thats the one.

YooperDog it is very close from what I have read.

Tex_77 What is Pittsburgh Style? I’m a “burgher” for my whole life and I’ve never heard of that.

badfire2625 Quick sear on either side and very rare purple interior.

So I heard something in that podcast that I just cannot comprehend. Austin said something about medium being the perfect temperature for beef. I’m broken. My team leader doesn’t know how to eat steak? Medium-Rare is absolutely the most cooked a steak should be. How can I stay Team-Orange with the fundamentals flawed at the start? How can I switch to Team-Blue when Austin invited me to Orange when Jonathon (and where did this Jonathon Tremblay profile come from) didn’t invite me to be blue. Maybe I’ll go rogue and join Team-Grey. Maybe I’ll become a loner and shun any team. I’ll have to think about this one for a while… Austin. Medium? Seriously?

Tex_77 I may have done that a time or two but I didn’t know it was a thing. I was just too cold grilling in my shorts and a hoodie in February so I rushed it…

badfire2625 Also don’t forget Austin thinks $1 frozen pizza is 5 star cuisine. Please join Team Blue, the winning team.

Tex_77 Wait. What?

-
Tex_77 Not 5 star cuisine, but Totinos pizzas are good for what they are. Especially if you want to eat pizza every day and not blow the bank on your food budget. That was my diet for years as a bachelor, and I don’t regret it at all.
badfire2625 My definition of medium is still only 135 and still a nice red color throughout. If you start getting any brown through there, it is overcooked. I just like it right where the texture is starting to change from a raw feeling to a cooked feeling. I’d argue it makes it more tender because there is more denatured proteins breaking down. As soon as you get past the denaturing and start breaking down the myoglobin and turining brown, you’ve overcooked it. Some people would put medium right in the middle of this changeover, and to me medium has an ultra fine line on what is good versus not. It could be medium and be outside of what I want and I’d say overcooked. Just on the beginning and verge of medium is where I want to be.
I also don’t think that the temperature for a cooked steak should be enough to force you out of Team-Orange… Unless it was arguing that a well done steak was the best…that would be grounds for dismisal from Team Orange to me and I’d dismiss myself! Lol!

Austin Maybe you should just go with Med-Rare Plus

OK. Austin I’m staying (I was never leaving, just pot stirring…) I like the explanation. But about this pizza thing… We need to talk…

Austin Okay, in an almost defense of the orange team, a steak is perfect when the consumer thinks it is.
I have done so many carving station with strip loins and prime rib, I guess numbering in the 1000’s. Some want it to walk away from the carving station, some want it carbonized. I have learned that just because a particular cook, flavor, heat, … that I like, doesn’t mean that everyone else dose. A great chef knows what pleases the masses.
Totinos pizzas are great for college students. Nothing wrong with people needing inexpensive. Eventually people grow up, even orange team’s pallets. LOL
