So eating wale is like masterbating on an airplane?

Spotted a decent piece of meat that wasn’t a Lovers lane yoga pant ass at Trader Joes for once. 

[Chewbacca 7781]

Over 1 pound of minke whale.  It's very very lean meat, so I had a buttered pan with some garlic and shallots to baste or soak the meat, and also balance out any mild gaminess.
After a few minutes reaching 80*, finished it inside the pan until it went to 110*F. 
The thin cooked rim of whale tastes metallic and like canned tuna in water.  The interior is just something between beef and venison, mildly sweet and not exotic at all.
 

Next time I will try it tartare
 

Fuck you, whale! And fuck you, dolphin!

I know it’s blasphemy, but some of the entries on this page need to be on the fire a little longer for me.

Couldn’t agree more.  I get medium rare, but some of that shit looks raw.

Dumb question amnesty - what’s the fascination with slicing every steak like it’s a tenderloin?

[Hank_Hill 18893]

Like pre slicing it? I already have my big knife out splitting it so figure why not

With VERY few exceptions...if my steak ever comes out pre-sliced, It’s not gonna be good.  Not good for me and especially not good for them.  Cote De Boeuf and a couple other chateaubriand aside, that shit’s instant “no” from me dog.

How much per bale & is it horse quality?  I'll take Tifton85, Coastal, Blue Stem or Prairie / Coastal mix.

It presents better.  Also for steaks that aren't cooked with resting in mind, exposing slices will pause the post-cook temp rise.  And it's nice for sharing a large steak

Fertilized Rye mostly. Baled a little late. I sell it all to my neighbor across the road.

what was the price per pound?

[4th_and_18 687]

$15.99 I think
The tenderloin was 29.99/lb and I passed

[irishtexan 11522]

Found a 1.7lb bone-in strip steak Randall’s that looked pretty good. It was.

I know, right? That ain't cut near thick enough for a good filet.

 

[Sam Lin 3560]

There are a lot of cases where freezing meat makes it a lot easier to process with power tools or saws, and much cleaner. I've not done it to a tenderloin but have done it to break down other large cuts.

[52-80 19222]

its also good if you need to thin slice stuff, for shabu shabu and whatnot

[Landomatic 3813]

Amazon Whole Foods delivery often comes with surprises.  Some good, but mostly not good (substituting something that's not even close to what you wanted, weird quantities, out of stock items, etc).  This 1.63 lb ribeye was one of the few good surprises...

I'll report back when I cook it.  Unless I fuck it up.  Then I'll just say it slammed and went so hard that I didn't even have time to get a pic.

[ROFL BOX 6649]

Can't get your phone level with the top of the steak?

[ERhine 1900]

Can’t figure out how to cook a steak?

Gonna have to be a crazy price for me to drive 270 miles R/T for rounds.

[Errestaurants 2570]

Nice dinner at the ranch. About send a couple to process.

Forgot to take pictures of the raw meat.  Will probably forget the end product.  But the beer is flowing and I got some nice looking strips on the grill.

Okay, reporting back.  I normally just go by feel with a steak, but at damn near 2 lbs and 2 inches thick, this thing required a meat thermometer.

Patagonian Toothfish for the wife.  Martinis were flowin...

Nice little Caesar salad with some homemade croutons...

And, as usual, the star of the show was the mac n cheese (also did a bread basket and a shrimp cocktail, but I didn't get any pics of them).  This was just a huge bowl of cheesy noodle awesomeness...

Back to the steak, seared it on the griddle...

Took what seemed like forever to cook and rest, but here's the finished product...

And here's her sea bass.  Yes, I cut her lemon into a flower.  Happy wife, happy blah blah blah.  Come at me...

Plated with some mac n cheese...

And just so I don't get called out by the surly steak mafia, here's the money shot.  Nailed it (thank you meat thermometer)...

Did I mention the star of the show was the mac n cheese...

Prime ribeye last night.  Didn’t take a moneyshot pic because once I started I chowed it quick.  It was unreal.  And watched “The Jerk” on the boat.  I was a happy man.
