![]() Sheldon, this is an area you do really well in. I see chuck roast and sirloin tip at 3.99lb. I need some lower fat meats to grind for the fellow I am feeding 7 meals a week to. Found out he's got heart issues (not that he's objected to anything I deliver). I need a lower fat item. Will these grind well enough to be used for a ground beef that I can make into a home scratch version of a sort of 'hamburger helper' with a low sodium tomato type base over pasta? I've never ground anything that low fat for burger sorts of meat or if I did, I added fat as grinding. I'm not trying to make a flavorful burger, just a basic roughly like this: 28oz low sodium tomato sauce 16oz low sodium diced tomatos Spices (no salt added, basic italian sort of mix or may go a sort of chile powder mix with added onions) chopped mushrooms Add drained ground beef to sauce once ready. Simmer a bit to mix then portion out over cooked pasta and freeze with veggies in trays. The base recipe works but does that meat work well enough for grinding for it? I need to cut down on the lamb shoulder I suspect so looking for lower fat alternatives and frankly, chicken gets pretty nasty if cooked then frozen, then microwaved. Carol -- |

I do either plain chicken breasts with seasoning and no sauce or breaded ones. I bag them individually so they will thaw out fast or can even be heated from frozen. I don't do this often now as our chicken lover is no longer a chicken lover. But if I have a leftover portion or two, I might do this once in a while. |

And what you suggested sounds repulsive. Sheldon is a ****ing pig - no doubt about it. But he does know how to ground a good burger or 12. Ground Beef is not supposed to be lean. If you're scared of hamburgers, just don't eat them. I wish I could put my finger on what exactly is wrong with you, besides the fact that you're poor.

Bryan's actually a pretty good cook, of course as a super taster, everything he makes foodwise that I've ever had was bland and blase for the most part. Bryan does not even like fresh sage on pork! And as I recall, detests fresh basil, while I could make a salad out if it! John Kuthe... |

And what you suggested sounds repulsive. Sheldon is a ****ing pig - no doubt about it. But he does know how to ground a good burger or 12. Ground Beef is not supposed to be lean. If you're scared of hamburgers, just don't eat them. I wish I could put my finger on what exactly is wrong with you, besides the fact that you're poor. But you and your family look like you've been living in a concentration camp (and, yes, I know about the cancer - I don't mean that). Don't recommend anything food related to anyone. You're not...equipped. She's not asking about making BURGERS, medavis troll, but about making ground beef for things like spaghetti sauce. I'm glad that you think that we look thin, because I've been feeling a bit overweight lately. While I get plenty of exercise, I do eat more that is ideal for my physique. I have no problem with beef fat, but the person whom Carol is cooking for has been advised to avoid beef fat. It would be funny that you think--or just say--that I'm poor when I've been comfortably middle income all my life, never having to take public assistance. While it's certainly true that I'm not a high wage worker, I'm quite happy in my job, and just got the news today that I'm being moved to a position that means *almost* every weekend off, and *almost* no evenings. The contempt that you Right-wing folks have for anyone below about the 70th percentile in income is disgusting, but also bizarre. You seem to equate low earnings with general unworthiness in the whole Calvinistic predestination way. Who'd have though that what Max Weber observed so many years ago would have metastasized into you Tea Party freak types. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater --Bryan |

If it is prepared correctly it has very little fat. Any large areas of fat (especially the hard fat) are first removed, don't worry about most of it as it renders in the cooking. Cut into cubes, brown and stew with your favorite additions on a low light for a long time. Then separate the solids from the gravy and put both in the refrigerator overnight. Before using remove the fat that will have solidified and reserve for another time. (My wife won't let me do this, reserve that is..) Recombine the solids and gravy and reheat. This method works very well, also for lamb. However, it seems that lamb (shoulder that I use) still maintains a fair amount of fat. (In my opinion just the correct amount for good flavor.) http://www.richardfisher.com |

You can cut off most of the extra fat (if there is any). Any marbling within the meat will render out when you brown the ground chuck. Jill |

I've found the best beef cut for controlling fat content is top round as most of its fat is on the exterior so is easy to remove however much you want... for great burgers simply leave it all... but I'll remove about half anyway and replace that fat with olive oil so as not to consume all that cholesterol... simply cut your meat into long strips for grinding and toss them with olive oil to coat... also acts as a lubricant for a much better grind. I often see top round at about $4/lb; steaks and roasts... roasts are usually a bit less expensive to I ask in the meat department for a couple of large roasts, ten pounds each.... large roasts will be cut from the better portion of the round than those puny roasts they typically place in the meat case. Then I'll cut the nicer looking half to use as a roast and the rest I'll cut a couple of steaks for London broil, maybe some large chunks for stew meat and the rest I'll grind. Top round makes excellent oven roast (cook no more than medium rare) and pot roast... pot roast will be the leanest as it's easy to skim off the fat. I don't use beef for tomato/pasta sauce, for that I buy those inexpensive family packs of pork shoulder chops, trim away the extranious fat for the crows and freeze portions in zip-locs... three or four chops is a good amount to braise in an 8 quart pot of sauce, sometimes I'll add a few Eyetalian saw-seege too (start by browning), as it simmers (never boil) skim off the fat, adjust seasoning, and simmer till the meat falls away from the bones, remove the bones for the best meat sauce money can buy... I don't care for meat sauce made with ground beef, it often toughens and it's like eating sand... falling off the bone pork is better for pasta sauce... if you add the saw-seege it won't need much seasoning but store bought adds salt. I'd not pay extra for reduced salt tomato sauce, instead use a combination of canned crushed tomatoes, canned whole plum tomatoes, and canned diced tomatoes, those are alresdy reduced salt and are often on sale... for the lowest salt tomato product use tomato paste.... read labels and compare with reduced salt tomato sauce. You can also use tomato paste to make your own inexpensive tomato juice... all tomato juice on store shelves is made from tomato paste only it's listed as tomato concentrate... excellent for tomato soup too. Every tomato based product on store shelves (no exceptionss) is made from tomato paste/concentrate, even Heinz red. Hope this helps. |

And what you suggested sounds repulsive. Sheldon is a ****ing pig - no doubt about it. But he does know how to ground a good burger or 12. Ground Beef is not supposed to be lean. Hahahaha, medavis troll. See below, where Sheldon advocates using lean beef and adding a high monounsaturate oil. He just made you look like a fool, as if you didn't already. --Bryan |

I am hoping Sheldon will answer as he actually grinds beef. He also goes leaner on it than I do. I seldom have to grind to a fat level so my normal would be to add fat if it was pretty lean. This time though it's not a 'joke' and i'm working to help feed a fellow with a lot of medical issues. I hope this group still has the capacity for a serious question. I need low fat beef based on sales that I can cook without going broke and keep Ted fed. I can feed him 'crap' but I want it to be tasty instead. Hence, ping Sheldon... Carol -- |

When I listed reduced sodium tomato products, I should have said it's just from reading the can labels. Panstene (spelling?) for example doesnt have a lot of salt. Heinz and other popular bland versions are salt bombs. Furmanos, 1/4 c = 130mg sodium. HT store brand diced = 200mg per cup. Granted other meats make for better taste, but have to keep the cholestrol in line here. He's had one heart attack already and looks to be maybe 30. Then he hit the spinal injury.... Hey, I'm just trying to provide a few healthy meals so thank you. Other replies didn't target the need though were well meant. If I have it right, based on what I can get HERE, I want 50% sirloin tip and 50% best trimmed I can do for the chuck. Grind that and use spices to make it flavorful to blend some into his dinners. That should provide protein, reasonable flavor if not over cooked, and not too much fat. Carol -- |

Due to the east coast storm, some of the specials were extended to Tuesday. I can get the meat later or get a rain check if out. Going to go with sirloin tip for grinding mixed with some chuck. I got plenty of answers on how to use both (appreciated) but am looking for grinding beef that won't taste like totally ICK yet hit as near 93% lean as I can get at home. For now, I'm iced in (better than most). Ice here is patchy and some folks report none, others have up to 1/2 inch in places on sidewalks. If it looks good, will get some of the beef tomorrow. For now I have 4 29oz cans of tomato sauce/diced going with 12 cloves of garlic, 1 cup chopped mushroom (King Oyster), 2.5 cups chopped bell peppers, and about 1/4 cup italian mix of spices. Basic sauce for use in many recipes. The ground beef will be added to this, Basically cook up the beef, store separate and use as needed. Carol -- |

Bacon and pork fat or lamb fat are all the same in this case. I'm checking over fish for uses here but my main stock has to be tested to see if it's still tastey. The fellow I am feeding is not well so meals that have some taste matter a whole lot. The fish I have left was commercially frozen and packed but that was 2 years ago. I'll be looking into oriental 'fish paste' recipes shortly but I don't think many here are familiar with it and doubt other than one may know how to make it. Carol -- |

You Found a new one today. La Fe brand. Tomato paste in 29oz cans. 30mg sodium per 1/2 cup. It uses ony tomatoes and citric acid. I'll use some later this week and report back on if it works well. Most run closer to 130mg per 1/2 cup (outside the salt bomb major brands). Oh renamed this thread. Lots of folks do not know to read labels. Carol -- |

I know this will sound odd to some, but I tend to make about 1/2G sauce roughly every 4 weeks and freeze in smaller portions for use per week. LOL, no crystal palace here but I do like a beer or 2 on a Friday evening if that helps! -- |

It would be unlikely to be the same form as tomato paste. Most 'orange juice' for example is made from spray dried orange juice, which is a concentrate (but not in paste form). One benefit for the manufacturer being that spray drying also concentrates the natural sugars in OJ, so they can claim 'no added sugar' when in fact the fructose content in the finished product is much higher. But I digress... back to tomato juice. IIRC, there are also other ingredients in commercially made tomato juice not found in tomato paste. |

Frozen OJ is concentrate... some ready to drink OJ is reconstituted concentrate, some is fresh squeezed. The manufacturing process for all fruit juice concentrates is essentially the same... learn he http://www.fruitjuiceconcentrate.org/tomato-paste Tomato paste and tomato concentrate are exactly precisely one in the same, see above. |
