Smoking Bob’s 10 tips to Smarter cooking meats.
- Beef:
- Let beef sit one hour before cooking. This step extracts extra blood from the meat. It makes the choice cut more tender.
- Add salt to the beef to get the blood to drain faster to tenderize.
- Rinse salt from meat after sitting. Tap seasoning in with fingers so it does not fall off into the grill. This creates a better flavor.
- When cooking Roast use mustard as a rub. Rub all over Beef. The mustard becomes hard shell holding in juices, thus, tenderizing the meat. Take the mustard shell off before eating.
Try with chicken.
- Pork:
- Use a crock pot to tenderize Pork, by steaming. Let steam 20 to 40 minutes the meat will come apart and fall of bone easily, when done.
- If frying pork, use a cold pan with olive oil before putting pork steak in pan before adding heat. The meat cooks more evenly and thorough.
- Poultry:
- Cook as pork, falling off bone when done.
- Fillet of fish:
