Don't let me scare you off with that paragraph. The waters are deep but the swimming is fine.
My name is Jim Bolding and I've been cooking beef longer than I'd like to admit. Only recently did I realize that I was really in a beef cooking rut.
I cook and eat a lot of beef and even if I do say so myself I do a good job with what I do.
However, (This is where the rut comes in!) the cuts of beef and the cooking methods I used were very limited.
I always use a chuck roast for pot roast and I always cook it exactly the same way. Minute or cube steak and once again always cooked the same. Occasionally I grill a rib eye steak and I make various ground beef dishes.
I read somewhere that if it takes you a week to learn to do something and you repeat that something for 10 years you don't have 10 years experience.
You have one weeks experience repeated 3,650 times.
That's the exact position I was in. And I want to emphasize the word WAS!
I wanted to get out of my rut so I began a self-education program on beef cooking. And I've learned a lot. I'll continue to learn the rest of my life.
Maybe some day I'll write a book on beef cooking.
Some of my more recent lessons have been smoke cooking a beef brisket Texas style. It did me proud to here my friends and family oooh and ahhh over that brisket for weeks.
I got the same results with Beef Wellington and Beef Stroganoff. (They're all getting some good eats from my education.)
My Beef Jerky wasn't so good.
I discovered that everybody, including me, really doesn't like teriyaki sauce. It was jerky just like jerky is supposed to be all right enough, but the teriyaki was overwhelming. I'll just use a recipe without teriyaki next time.
Well this website for one. I'm posting all my past and future lessons here.
You'll get a good beef cooking education if you would like to continue along with me on my journey.
These pages will contain all I have learned in the past and what I will learn in the future. Including the failures as well as the successes.
Don't fear the deep waters of beef cooking. Like I said earlier the swimming is fine. Jump on in.
