Then roll them up, secure with either string or toothpicks and then simmer in a sauce. That should also make them easier to chew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474664 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:20:35 +0000 HabesBabe 1474664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have any dogs? I'd hate to waste the meat by tossing it after boiling for stock. Even though feeding it to an animal might be more wasteful than these recipes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474629 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:16:56 +0000 MrsH 1474629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: as long as up cut thin it should be fine. We use pioneer woman's recipe and I think it marinates for an hour? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474545 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:05:23 +0000 blackbird 1474545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygirl, at the least you could probably make broth in your crockpot! So that if the meat is tough, then, well, you have broth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474524 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:03:28 +0000 chopsuey 1474524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: yep! I'd probably toss after boiling since the meat's tough to chew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474519 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:03:11 +0000 Ash 1474519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the recipe you use and it's good. Try pounding them down more with a meat tenderizer. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474502 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:59:56 +0000 Raindrop 1474502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like stewing beef... So I would make beef stew :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474500 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:59:52 +0000 swurlygurl 1474500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: No - everything I read online seems to say the faster you cook it, the less tough it will be, so I've been afraid of cooking it all day :( But the crockpot has given me some really tender beef and pork before - so thanks, I will add that to my list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474494 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:58:49 +0000 swurlygurl 1474494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsH: YUM! Is it the right cut? I suppose if I cut the strips small enough it might even be tolerable to chew... haha! That's probably something that needs to marinate for awhile? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474492 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:58:45 +0000 blackbird 1474492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried crockpotting it long and slow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474484 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:58:00 +0000 swurlygurl 1474484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Does that just yield delicious stock and I would toss the beef once it's done... boiling? (obviously I've never made it before) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474479 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:57:02 +0000 MrsH 1474479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fajitas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474468 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:55:58 +0000 chopsuey 1474468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha. can you make beef stock? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-minute-steak#post-1474446 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 14:54:12 +0000 swurlygurl 1474446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy 1/4 of a cow every year with DH's parents. I generally love it, except I get a ton of these 'Minute Steaks' that I have no idea what to do with. I think they might also be called cube steaks? They're medium-thin, and SOOO chewy.<br /> It seems online the big consensus is to bread and flour, then pan fry. Tried that - needed jaws of life to chew through it.<br /> Any other ideas or tips? :/ </p>
