Lunch Meat Roast Beef... What Cut Do You Like??

[SQWIB]

Sqwib, did you cure it or just rub and roast it?

That was uncured beef he used.

Yep Rubbed and Pitcooked

You may want to give Pork Loin a try, Roast pork sammies mmmm good.




A heavy crust of rub is awesome on thinly sliced meats.


No need to brine the loin if serving in a gravy but for cold roast pork sammies, I would brine for 48 hours.

Dam I'm hungry, all these are great but pale in comparison to Prime Rib, making french dippers




Don't forget to slice some cheese in that new slicer!



oops! sorry, I drooled on myself...

EYE, Top, Bottom, Sirloin and even Chuck. All have worked for me lunch meat depending on the marinating/smoking, temperature and thickness of slice. Anything is better than that green slimey shiny stuff behind the counter at Safeway!

[barkonbutts]

Sorry, but thats "pasteurized processed cheese food", not cheese......

Is there American cheese that is not that?? Granted some is much better than others...

[SQWIB]

Sorry, but thats "pasteurized processed cheese food", not cheese......

I don't believe it's cheese food, but if it was cheese food it would have to say cheese food on the package or leave the word cheese out completely, plus I thought all American cheese was processed???
I'll take a pic when I'm up there, the internet was of little help on this manufacturer

Other cheeses per/lb.
parmesan $5.39
Asiago $4.29
Sharp Provolone $4.49
Fresh Mozzarella $3.49


From Fooducate...
1. Processed cheese is also known as “process cheese”, “prepared cheese”, and “cheese food”.

2. Yes, it’s made with regular cheese, but with the addition of one or more of the following: whey, emulsifiers, milk, salts, preservatives, and food coloring.

3. The most popular processed cheese in the US is “American Cheese” although there is no one definition for that term. In most people’s minds, the term has come to mean a smooth, mild flavored cheese.

4. Processed cheese was invented over 100 years ago in Switzerland, but it took an American, James L. Kraft, to manufacture the first commercially available sliced processed cheese, just after World War 2.

5. Kraft Singles, a product introduced in 1947, was an instant hit and went on to become an American legend.

6. One of the biggest consumer benefits of processed cheese is “the melt”. The use of emulsifiers in processed cheese lets it melt smoothly and uniformly when heated.

7. An important factor for food manufactures is the extended shelf life of processed cheese, due to the additives used.

8. Packaging each slice separately is a major convenience factor of processed cheese. If you’d like to skip chewing altogether, processed cheese can be found in spray cans.

9. The top uses for processed cheese are cheeseburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches.

10. Legally, processed cheese cannot be sold as “cheese”. It needs to be called a “cheese food”. In fact, the FDA highly regulates how products can be labeled based on their cheese ingredient, moisture content, and milkfat:

* Pasteurized process cheese - contains 100% cheese
* Pasteurized process cheese food - contains at least 51% cheese.
* Pasteurized process cheese product - contains less than 51% cheese.

My closest RD is about 35-45 miles away...a bit of a hull just for cheese.. yeah other good prices I see from their add... maybe one day they will build one up by me.. we will see. Will keep and eye out for the Cooper brand? Is that in Philly somewhere as I am out there twice a year in Abington/Roslyn area.

OMG----Provolone $4.49 & Mozz @ $3.49??? I'd be all over that !!

I guess you gotta have a membership somewhere to get those prices, and driving any more than 10-15 miles is out for me.

Cheese around here is rarely under $8 per pound.

Not an area thing as far as I know.

Their home office is in Green Bay, here is a product locator to search.

I first had it twenty five or so years ago when my Mother in law used to buy it from I believe Cumberland farms or Colonial Village Meat Market or some other store like that. But I remember the first time I had it, wow...amazing!
