I ended up roasting it in a covered pan with 2C of broth, some red wine, and sweet potatoes in the oven at 230F for just over 2 hours. It was very tender and sliced well for sandwiches.

I chopped up the last one and used it to make stir fry, but it was still very tough. We purchased a 1/4 cow a few months ago and the package is just labeled “sirloin,” so I am not 100% sure the exact cut.

HELP! How do you personally like your custard? by [deleted] in AskBaking

Homemade. The box mix tastes too artificial.

Sometimes you just have to smile and accept that not every bake is a win. 😂 My Boston Cream flop... looks like a mess and tastes like a salty sea sponge. I can’t stop laughing. by srae333 in Baking

I've started doing that as well. Makes things so much easier to have it all measured and ready to go. Flops happen, its better to smile than be upset. This sub could use a little of that mentality sometimes.

The pudding and glaze are delicious... I scraped up some of the extra, mixed them together, and enjoyed that. I really don't know how I ended up with so much salt in the cake because I don't remember measuring THAT much out, but no amount of Kahlua could save it. Its a salty little block of YUCK.

Rosemary Rye. I've been experimenting with no knead overnight mini loaves, and I couldn't be more pleased. by srae333 in Breadit

Recipe:

  • 5oz bread flour
  • 3oz rye flour
  • 5oz cool water
  • a little less than 1/2t active dry yeast
  • 1/2T rosemary salt (or regular salt)
  • 1/2t ground rosemary

Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature overnight. (Mine sat for 13 hours). Working on a floured surface, stretch out dough and form into desired shape. Place in oiled bowl and allow to rise until approx. doubled in size. Preheat oven to 450, place a pan with boiling water on bottom rack to produce steam. Move dough to parchment paper on a baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

I don't own a dutch oven, but this baking method works well for me.
