I made a vat of beef broth yesterday from some beef shank. The package
must've been close to 3#. It was about 80% meat.

When I make the broth into soup, I will never use that much beef in my
soup (I only make about 1-1/2 quarts at a time).

What the heck else can I do with all that meat? Boiled beef.

Hash? Sandwich spread? Freeze it? For some reason, freezing it
doesn't "sound right" to me.

I await your counsel.

BBQ sandwiches or hash would be my first choices.

I would take the meat and some, not much of the broth and use the
seasoning in this recipe and
cook it down to dry and make Mexican shredded beef out of it. You
can portion it out and freeze it
for future tacos, enchiladas, empanadas, burritos, etc.etc.etc.


http://hizzoners.com/recipes/meats/2...-shredded-beef

You've already got the main cooking portion done, now let the
seasonings cook into the meat and finish it out.

Perhaps you could spice it to make tacos?

Thanks, Nancy, Sitara, and Wayne. I hadn't especially thought of
shredding it. I know that Somebody will like the idea of barbecued
beef. Somebody puts barbecue sauce on things I would not subject food
to.

Thanks ‹ feel free to keep 'em coming.

I love hash, but 2.4 pounds worth. But some. Then the traditional meat for
meat filled ravioli is leftover cooked meat, so make some ravioli. Then
rissoles, perhaps, which a Brit will tell you how.

Or Bubba Vic. He likes rissoles, I believe. At least he's posted
recipes for them here.

Hash sounds good. I would do barbecue sandwiches, sloppy joes, tacos,
burritoes, or enchiladas. Maybe Italian beef sandwiches. I wonder
how it would be in a cottage pie.

It's already been suggested. Beef hash with fried potatoes and onions.

If you have the patience (hopefully that of a saint) and a staff of helpers,
buy some finely ground corn flour (masa harina) and some dried corn husks.
Soak the corn husks. Meanwhile, mix the masa with lard and some of the beef
stock. Shred the beef. Add some chili peppers (I don't remember what chili
peppers I used). Then roll the beef in the masa dough spread on the soaked
corn husks. Steam the tamales over a cup of that lovely beef stock.

I made tamales once. And I'll never do it again.

They're not that bad but it helps having a team and you can't have
anything else going on. Someone posted a link to a masa spreader a
couple years ago and we ordered one. It took awhile to get the hang
of it but it really speeds up the process.

Like I said after reading a science fiction novel: "Well, that'll never
happen." :-) I like tamales. No patience, no ambition, no staff.
Mexican places within 3 miles of me that do.

Yer not missing much.

I useta think mamasitas made tamales short on filling cuz they were
selling 'em to us gringos and ...what the Hell! It's their duty to
rip-off the pandejos.

Well, I made traditional Mexican tamales with my traditional step
mother-sister-in-law-whatever. She was about a hundred yrs old and so
traditional she hadda ask her husband permission to pee and the
tamales were so from-scratch, the only step missing was slaughtering
the pig. Anyway, I was shocked to discover, as I was helping assemble
the damn things, she used barely half an ounce of meat, per tamale.
This for family consumption, only. And the harina mix was fully 50%
lard. That's a lotta fat! So, corn flour, a crap-load of lard, and
half a pinky finger of meat steamed in dead plant leaves. Yum.

Traditional tamales are definitely poh-folk food, in the 3rd degree.
I havn't wasted my money on one since. If you find a tamale with more
than an oz of meat, it's a boutique tamale and costs $8!

What I've learned over the years is the amount of filling depends on
where it comes from and if I want tamales the way *I* like them, I
should make them myself. I don't mind making them and I like what I
make... as does my family. <shrug>

I vote for tamales. You can freeze those and they reheat easily.

Ok! Let's see some Tamale recipes! I've never made them. I have a 2
quart steamer....I think that's what I need...

No recipes from me, Landon. I do it by whim. I can tell you that
making tamale meat is the only good use I've ever found for a
crockpot. Put your chuck in there and cook overnight. When cool, the
liquid should jell. Seasonings etc are to your taste. I like onion,
garlic and powdered chili in the crockpot (strain after it cooks) and
then I add freshly chopped green onion and cilantro to the juices
before you cool it in the refrigerator. I flavor beef with a little
chili colorado sauce. I like chicken with tomatillos and pork can go
either way.

These pages are as informative as any

If it's only two quarts, you'll make a very small batch or steam them
in stages. It would be best to use your collapsible vegetable steamer
and your largest soup/stock pot (with a lid).

Thanks for the information and links. I'm going to have to try making
my own soon.

It's doubtful you'll find it in rural Michigan, but we have places
where we can buy masa premade around here. If you can find it
premade, that cuts down on a lot of work.

I'm sure I mentioned this not too long ago; filling for pirohys.. or

Stuff your own knish, Pal. I'm not putting cooked meat into my pirohy.
Or ravs or wontons.

Ah, sandwich spread. I make mine with onions, celery, mayo to bind,
maybe a little pickle relish, s&p. I might use some for that; Rob likes
it and I haven't made it in years.

Well fine, Barabarara, but cooked leftovermeat is what is used for meat
filled pastas. Really.

Okey dokey. On those rare occasions when I have made meat-filled
pirohy, I've used a seasoned ground beef-sausage mixture. With tomato
sauce on top! Faux ravioli.

One of my aunts used to grind or chop cooked beef, mix with cubed cooked
potato, a little sauteed onion and freshly chopped parsley, s&p and eggs
(enough to make a thick "pancake" mixture) then fry by the large
spoonful, flattened, in a little butter and oil, kind of like a Spanish
"tortilla" (Not at all like a Mexican tortilla.) Serve with hot sauce
or salsa on the table or add a bit to the "batter."

That's pretty much how I make roast beast hash, without the egg, though.
Intersting.

I like boiled beef shank. So like if you cooked it, when it's tender,
cube it and save it. Freeze it if you must. If you make/made too
much, then you are managing incorrectly. I've never in my life made
too much beef shank that I had to freeze it. Or some such. Like use
your noggin.

Chop it fine, season with sauteed onion, lots of black pepper...you
know, so it tastes good. And use it to fill kreplach. (which are the
same idea as a pirohy or a won ton). Serve them in the soup. Even
better, believe it or not, in home made chicken soup! Either way,
freeze them as you would pirohy... before they are boiled, well
wrapped to prevent freezer burn. Plan on 3-5 per serving, depending on
how big you make them.

Hash tonight, vegetable soup (on the stove right now) another day. I
may freeze the rest. Thanks for your comments (the ones that have to do
with the subject, not the discussion about tamales and empanadas).

I ate a lot of potted meat in the sixties and liked it. A friend told me
to read the label. Shudder...
