Beef roast

Today I found out they now sell Tyson pork roast and beef roast kits at my Wal-Mart. They sell them in the meat section. These kits not only contain a roast, but potatoes, carrots, celery, a spice packet, and a whole onion. I feel like they are meant for the crockpot, which is what I used. The pork one runs $13 and the beef one runs $16.44. I tried the beef one and now to get to what I think of it. It was incredible. It tasted better than buying the items separately, which I guess kind of justifies the high price tag. I ate the onion by itself once cooked, and it didn't taste too strongly.

I checked online and people rated these items 3 out of 5 stars. So either people are picky, or my taste buds are bad.

I will note I didn't actually use the spice-packet though, to watch my sodium. I used $1.88 organic beef broth to flavor it, and saved the spice packet for some other occasion.

The package states the kits serve 8. But 4 would be more correct.

I am enclosing a picture but it looks slightly better in person even raw like this:

I tried that at a friends house a few weeks ago. It wasn't half bad, pretty good if you're in a pinch.

I'm not much of a beef person, I prefer venison. :D

As for reviews, I suspect many give it undue and unjust hate because its pre-packaged. That probably does, however, means its very likely extremely unhealthy. But, with that said, some of those pre-made meal thingies are delicious when theres nothing else and you dont want to cook.

I fathom that most unhealthiness in such foods come in the spice packets, and if one is worried, they can use better spices or broth, with less salt and preservatives. But what do I know? :)

I thought this was going to be a sexual topic because of the title name and you inviting me to discuss it.

All I have to say is I never would have bought that unless it was drastically reduced. I would have gone dumpster diving to see if I could find the veggies for free or to the local flea market. If I was still in America, I woulda got the meat at Save A Lot. But since it wasn't my money spent on it...

When can I expect to be invited over for dinner? And what's for dessert?

You might just need some more practice cooking. Don't be afraid of herbs and spices, they are what makes the difference between a so so roast and a fantastic one. Oh and garlic. Always ad some garlic to the meal.

Also I recently bought a pressure cooker. The first time I cooked a round roast in it my housemate said that it look dry when I took it out and cut into it. But she quickly changed her mind. A roast that would take at least 3 or 4 hours in the oven took less than an hour and a half.

The subject is a double-edged sword. While some believe salt and fat is worse for you health-wise, it often makes food just a whole lot tastier.

I avoid high sodium stuff for the most part (not always avoidable), and use salt, although not much pretty much whenever I want. Fats, I dont engorge on lots of saturated or trans fats, but in general I don't avoid fat either. It's anecdotal, but I've never had problems as far as numbers and heart stuff go (I also try to stay active at least to some minimal degree).

I eat meat more than anything. However I use morton's lite salt. Does it make a difference... I honestly can't say yes or no.

Cooking is fun. Really, its an art when you approach it right, and highly gratifying when others enjoy it. I also found eventually you get to the point your tastes are refined enough that even disastrous experiments are still technically edible, even if void of flavor, appropriate texture, and nothing that amazes outside of how it first seemed in your head. And then it gets really fun making your own sauces, rubs, and seasoning blends. And if cooking for oneself, avoid the garlic if you don't like it. I personally like it and my own food is too garlicy for many, but you'll find no onions in my cooking. I absolutely hate them.

Temp and time is as vital as spices when cooking meat and many things. .

For many things, time and temp are vitally more important than season and spice. Regardless of how its seasoned, no one is going to pay full price for prime rib that was cooked too fast at too high a temp. They are utterly without blame.

Most "prime rib" is not even "prime".. I have done a few rib roasts and was rather nervous the first time since even one with choice beef is not exactly cheap. But I have seen arguments for a high temp, at least at the start. One gets a good sear and then lets the oven cool naturally. The meat keeps cooking, but slower and slower.
