Heating some deli roast beef
So say I'm in the mood for a nice roast beef dinner, but can't make an entire
roast as it's just for me. I go to the grocery and the deli has some nice rare roast beef. I have them slice me off a one inch slice and take it home. I cook some potatoes and veggies. What's the best way to warm up the meat? Under a broiler? In the microwave? I'dd llike it to stay as rare as possible. Thanks. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

Make the mix and when hot quickly submerge the beef for a very brief time and then remove the meat. It should have gotten hot without changing the texture or doneness. Normally I would say to submerge the meat in the gravy from the roast but you don't have that. Janet US |

I'd just cook a good steak medium rare and serve it with the roast beef accompaniments (yorkshire pud, gravy, horse radish sauce, roast potatoes, veg etc.) Janet UK |

I use up leftover lamb by making a curry. I didn't roast any pork for ages because I had no way to use up the leftovers. One day I chopped it finely and used it in a tomato sauce on pasta and it turned out very nicely. |

Would be smarter to have the deli slice it, then prepare open face sandwiches warmed with heated gravy.... heat the bread with gravy and then place the slices of beef, then more gravy on top. Even if just for me I'd still oven roast a smallish beef roast, eat how much I want while hot, and put the remainder in the fridge, cold meat is much easier to slice as needed... I like a cold roast beef sandwhich but you can still use the above procedure to warm an open faced sandwhich. Roast beef from a deli costs at least twice as much as one roasted yourself... and deli roast beef contains exsessive fat... they purposely choose the fattiest roasts to increase profits as deli roast beef is sold by weight. |

I *never* reheat roast meat. It tastes vile to me. It's fine *warmed* with gravy, you don't want it hot or it will no longer be rare. Even a roast you cook yourself is eaten warm... after it rests and is carved it's not hot. Roast beef cooked rare is never really hot while roasting, at best 130º is barely tepid... after resting and slicing it's only a few degrees over room temperature, plced on a cold plate it'll barely be room temperature... anyone who wants hot roast beef doesn't like rare. |

My first solid food was a shingle of beef. The other meals were better. On my last stay they kept me on clear fluids and on the last morning I rebelled. The nurse found me some real food. It may have tasted extra good because it was the first solid food I had had in a week. My lunch that day was not bad. I can't say it was better than any restaurant. It was perhaps as good as some chains. |

I'm not sure if it was food quality or price. Hey, it's a cafeteria. I'm not a fan of cafeterias, in general. The only good cafeteria I've ever been to and actually recommended to others was Picadilly in Germantown, TN. I'd go there for lunch with co-workers about once a month. They had a wonderful selection of freshly prepared foods. I usually got a cup of the soup of the day, baked fish (never overcooked!) with a side of steamed vegetables. But they often had roast beef; there was a carving station on the line and someone would slice off some beef. To go with the beef was gravy, mashed potatoes. A lot of other selections. The cooks were right there talking to us as we moved along the line. Picadilly had (has?) *really* good food. For a cafeteria. ;) Jill |

I've always found ham steaks boring by themselves. Try the hash (maybe). Also good toppings for ham a - a raisin sauce plated on the side (or poured over ham) or - ham cooked with a crushed pineapple/brown sugar mix. These are just ways I like it. |

There is a place in Fort Erie that people flock to, especially older folks. The food is not bad. It's not great. It is inexpensive and they have huge portions. It's decent home cooking. They shut down for about two months in the winter and the day they open up there will be a lineup at the door. My co-workers and I used to eat there often when we were working in the area. The daily specials were a real bargain, and they offered half orders for a couple bucks less. I used to opt for the half order, which was more than enough for me. > The only good cafeteria I've ever been to and actually recommended to > others was Picadilly in Germantown, TN.Â* I'd go there for lunch with > co-workers about once a month. I haven't been to a cafeteria in ages. Well.... not really. A couple months ago when my son had surgery I had some time to kill at the hospital I went to the cafeteria and got a coffee. I don't think that counts as a cafeteria meal. I didn't even look at the food. |

That's pretty much my situation. I don't dislike it, but I am not all that crazy about it, not enough to cook a big one and then have to deal with leftovers for a week. I do occasionally get some sliced deli ham. The Meat Nazi down the road sometimes has it on sale really cheap, about the only time I go there. |

I'd never heard of soaking it in milk and if you don't want to soak it overnight there are two other ways to cook it to remove the salt. Put the slices in a skillet and cover with water and cook for 15 minutes, turning once. Dump the water and then lightly fry the ham slices. The second way is the same method but you just use a can of coke instead of water; both will leach the salt out. Dump the coke after 15 minutes, turning the ham slices once, and then lightly fry the slices. |

It was perhaps as good as some chains. When I was hospitalized last May for colon surgery, my surgeon told me to get my husband to bring me food. Three meals a day, for the four days I was in there, starting from the day I got out from surgery. The hospital food was so bad I couldn't even eat the breakfast stuff. I think they brought all the meals in from a central location, resulting in 12-hour old everything. A 12-hour old piece of toast isn't pleasant. Doris |

My husband isn't all that fond of ham, but we usually have some on hand for sandwiches, and once in a while I'll heat a slice in bacon grease in a frying pan. Cindy Hamilton |

You're right. It is not smoked. It is cured in brine and then rolled in peameal, and it is delicious. > My husband isn't all that fond of ham, but we usually have > some on hand for sandwiches, and once in a while I'll heat > a slice in bacon grease in a frying pan. It's weird. It's not that I don't like ham. I will gladly eat it if served, or put some on my plate at a buffet. My grandparents used to serve it frequently. My mother cooked it occasionally. Neither my wife or I are interested in it enough to bother baking one, though we do by good quality ham for sandwiches. |
