    If I have cubed meat I expect it to have
    been run through the tenderiser at least twice.

    Do meat markets still do that? The IGA I was a stock boy in some 57
    years ago had one of those machines but I have not had or even seen
    minute steaks in decades.

    As a young teenager, I recall using cubed steaks (aka minute steaks) for campfire cookouts. Sewer them on a stick and hold over the fire until
    done enough. Gail has done cubed steaks in a crockpot before, but does
    not really have a recipe for them written down. We have found them in
    the stores before, but recently wanted to make that again -- but could
    not find any cubed steaks anywhere. I wonder if is only available in
    winter or if they are just not done anymore.

    Title: Dal Bhaat (Sort Of)
    Categories: Low fat, Indian, Posted
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1 c Red lentils
    2 ts Garlic-ginger paste
    pn Tumeric
    1 Green chili, chopped
    3 Cloves garlic
    3 Whole dried chilis
    1/2 ts Cumin seed
    1/4 ts Garam masala
    1 tb Chopped chives

    Put unsoaked lentils in medium, heavy saucepan, wash with 2 or three
    changes of water, then drain. Add 2 1/2 cups water, G&G paste,
    tumeric, green chili.

    Bring to a boil gradually over medium heat, lower heat, cover, and
    simmer for 30 minutes. Stir vigorously with wooden spoon to help
    break up lentils, cook for about 10 more minutes, until lentils are
    soft and mushy.

    Use pam or good non-stick pan to temper spices. Add garlic, whole dry
    chiles and cumin seeds to hot pan. As soon as seeds sizzle, and garlic
    pales to pink, about 2 minutes, pour into lentils. Stir it well and
    simmer another 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with garam masala and chives
    just before serving. Pull out chillis if you wish.

    GINGER and GARLIC PASTE
    4 oz. ginger root, lightly scraped washed and cut into chunks, and
    the same amount of garlic, peeled. Put ingredients in a blender with
    a very little water, just to help grinding. Spoon into airtight jar
    and store in fridge, or freeze it. total calories, 72

    The three that I buy meat at do, indeed, have and use the machine. I
    have a couple of home (hand operated) versions - but I'm more likely
    to use them to perforate the meat for brining and/or marinating.

    Title: Grilled Marinated Flat Sirloin
    Categories: Beef, Marinades
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 lb (12 oz ea) flat sirloin
    - steaks; untrimmed

    MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
    1/3 c Olive oil
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    2 tb White wine vinegar
    1/3 c Soy sauce
    1/4 c Honey
    1 ts Black pepper

    Whisk the oil, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and
    pepper together in a small mixing bowl.

    Place sirloin steaks in a large resealable plastic bag.

    Pour the marinade into the bag, seal shut, and rub the
    marinade around over the steaks.

    Place the bag with the steaks inside into a casserole pan
    to catch any leaks and place everything into the
    refrigerator for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.

    Remove the pan from the refrigerator and allow to come to
    room temperature.

    Meanwhile, heat the grill to medium heat and rub the
    grates with cooking oil.

    Place steaks on the grill and cook for approximately 6
    minutes; then flip steaks with a tongs and cook for
    another 5-6 minutes or until the steaks reach your desired
    doneness.

    While the steaks are grilling, pour the marinade into a
    saucepan and bring to a boil; then reduce the heat and
    simmer until it thickens. It makes a perfect sauce for the
    steaks.

    Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest for
    five minutes before serving.

    They sure do. I bought some just the other week from Foodland in Newcastle. Very limited budget right now and they were two for $3 so for beef that's pretty cheap.
