X-Post VSG Main-Frisco-Food-Flavor Discovery !!!

I just discovered a great new easy way of food prep that results in much more "Flavor" and "Speed"!!!

After Bariatric Surgery or just normal Healthy Eating "Quality over Quantity" is the Mantra !!!

I have always liked the "End Cut" in a Prime Rib.......Why?.....To me...That's where the Spices and the Meat Flavor come together with the char.......

Than I thought about it some more..... Cut and cook smaller pieces of food. 

Think Korean BBQ, Asian table cooking, fondue.......Why is it so tasty?

Small pieces !!!

Small pieces mean "More Surface Area" being cooked/seasoned/charred/crisped/finished..... All this means...... MORE FLAVOR !!!!!

Other advantages of small pieces:

- Marinates Very Quickly.

- Cooks faster

- Holds more flavor

Perfect Sleeve Sizes........


Pictured here is a London Broil Cut..... pretty lean and needs added flavor.

Cross Cut against the grain and are about 3/8" thick..... Just enough thickness to char the outside and keep the middle pink.


Same theory goes for the veggies on the plate.... thin cut.... maybe 2 minutes on high heat.

My mother in law taught me this a long time ago about how cutting things paper thin makes it so much more flavorful. I now have a pro meat slicer to help me out because my knife skills suck.

I knew it wasn't original......I just had to put 2 and 2 together !!!

I'm debating if I'm gonna try and learn me some knife skills.......as I do collect high end tactical knifes...might have to get a couple of good meat cutting knifes.....

Actually the butcher said she could cut a roast in thin slices, no additional charge.

  someone already suggested this but let me clarify!  I cut meat thin partially frozen too....meanin don't try to defrost a frozen piece....pt a thawed piece in the freezer for about 30-45 min...when the outside starts  to freeze it will make slicing meat thin  easy.  If you DEFROST frozen meat....the outside gets soft and slippery W/ a rock hard  middle....not easy to handle.....and very dangerous.   Take it from someone who has cut hundreds of pounds of Sukiyaki meat....you know how thin that is !

Dude you're Japanese.....and you have NO knife skills? WTF?  Your Samurai......and Ninja ancestors  are bowing their heads in shame......I'll send you a broken blade off a sword....you know what to do! haha!

An excellent suggestion. I do this with firm tofu making stir fry with about every asian flavor i can throw in. Who wants to bite into a blob of tofu with no flavor in the center?  also, read in the sunday chronicle about slicing zuccini match stick thin in long pieces and then cutting again so they resemble spagetti. it said to cook a few minutes in a pan until tender. can't wait to try it.  Diane

I do the zucchini! I use the peeler to make noodles. Toss quickly in a pan with a bit of oilve oil and garlic. Add your favorite meat sauce. Even better than pasta because it has more flavor.

 My gosh, where on earth do you live?!!!  The "expensive" grocery store has zucchini and squash at .99/lb. right now, and usually it's about 0.69/lb. the height of summer.
