Kobe In Portland?
 
After enough nasty, tasteless, Safeway inspired hamburgers with little
or no fat, I want to try this Kobe hamburger that I have been hearing
so much about. Is there anyone who knows where I can get Kobe
hamburger in the PDX area?

Not sure, but the obvious suspects would be Phil's Uptown Meat Market
(near 23rd and West Burnside), Laurelhurst Market (about 31st and E.
Burnside and the meal vendor in City Market (about NW 21st and
Kearney).

You could also ask on PortlandFood.org, but I think you have to
register to post.

PDX is the airport code for Portland, OR.

Correcting myself:

"and the meal vendor in City Market" should be "and the meat vendor in
City Market." That vendor is called Chop.

Hmm, suckered in by a troll (or just plain ol' imbeciles), what's the
point to grinding meat that expensive primarily for its
marbling/texture... may as well grind up a slab of bacon rather than
slicing.

There's a small little market in my town amongst a couple Safeway's,
Fred Meyer's and two huge warehouse food places as well as a Wally
mart superstore....the small market has the best beef, pork and fish
in town. The tenderloins will melt in your mouth and the hamburger is
the best I've ever had. You can buy exactly the amount you want.
Outstanding service too!

I learned a small trick in a cooking class (or was it from watching
America's Test Kitchen?) that makes even a medicore steak turn out
great: cook the steak in a skillet with oil-- I prefer peanut oil but
corn oil works okay too-- and butter for a few minutes, then finish
cooking the steak in the oven until done; no salt or any seasoning to
make it tough until it's done. I like well done but my family likes
them medium well done. Steaks cooked that way turn out as tender as
can be despite the brand or the source. Ribeye steaks with a lot of
fat are best, though.

Now I hope to get that "ultimate hamburger." :-)

Wrong. I simply answered the question the OP asked. I mostly grind
my own these days, but I'm not keen on lecturing others about their
preferences.

I do this with most of our steaks, so long as they are more than 1/2"
thick.

Anything from 1/2" or smaller just gets seared in the pan and then rested.

All our steaks are meduim rare.

At our most recent BBQ, one friend specifically ordered her steak
'cremated' (the damn heathen!!), and the rest said "anyway they come".

Several people there had medium rare steaks for the first time, and have
since told me that they are going to continue cooking their meat med-rare
in the future!!

Which just goes to show, you *can* teach old dogs new tricks ;-)

I make burger patties that are about 1 & 1/2" thick, and always like them
med-rare too.

Always nice to have a bit of pink in the burger :-)

I only have one real rule: avoid steaks more than 1.10 to 1.15 pounds
in weight. I think steaks that are very thick usually have very little
flavor to begin with, then they shrink down to something totally
tasteless no matter how you cook it. I also avoid very thin steaks,
but only because there's too little of them left after they're cooked.
Oy... :-)

Chicken fried steak likes thin steak - usually what we call "minute
steak." Who can eat a steak that weighs more than a pound? The size
has nothing to do with flavor, it's all about the cut and quality of
the beef.

A 1# Porterhouse doesn't yield that much meat - maybe 8-10oz.

I know many people who would heartily diasagree with you: they find
that really thick steaks-- no matter what the cut-- are more often
than not, totally tasteless. You can season the hell out of them, but
the meat is still flavorless. We have bought such steaks because at
the time it was all the market had, but we regretted buying them and
never intend to get anything above 1.15 pounds; or 1.25 lbs at the
very very most. There's no such thing as a good, fat, steak. A steak
with a lot of fat-- yes! But not a thick, fat, steak... ever. :-(

You obviously have pretty shitty cows over there.

Here, it doesn't matter if the steak is 1/4" or 2" thick.... *all* the
meat has flavour!! Well, all the meat I buy has flavour anyways.

A pub here in Brisbane used to have a 'special'....... a 1kg T-bone. The
t-bone had provenance, and was tasty on the outside as well as right in
the middle.

It was pretty cool too...... one meal for two people off the one bone ;-)


I have yet to ever have a "tasteless steak"!!

The whole thing is kinda funny imho
it doesn't matter where you cut Ozzie beef it has flavour which is
the norm so thickness is not a problem because of the genetics and the
feeding , Ozzie beef generally unless lot fed on grain t finish for a
few weeks is pure grass feed and as such has great flavour , they don't
get sawdust and antibiotics or anything else to boost weight as it's
not good practice and generally illegal hence the flavour and one of the
reasons why the Koreans and Japanese buy thousand and thousand of tonnes
of our beef every year . They simply cannot match the natural flavour
or marbling and good health of the animals

All I can say is, if your beef is that bland, we have the best tasting beef
in the world :-)


So c'mon down to Oztralia for a tasty steak :-)
