Thanks Wolgast for starting this out, sorry about your dinner, they LOOKED GREAT !!!
The Ribs......
I'd like to think that's what went on with the ones I did for Stupor Bowl, but I seasoned them.....
Looked great........... taste, texture ~ terrible............Not Enhanced !!!
Just to check, I had a second rack the wife conned me into doing in the oven, same deal....
Sometimes ya get shitty meat.........
With these pre-marinated / rubbed ones I have a theory that less than premium batches of meat are the ones that get picked to get doused with juice or rub.........The poultry & pork, they think they're doing you a "brining favor" or something?
Maybe not always, 'cause I know of several high end markets around here that will do that stuff in house & it's fine, think it's more the "factory made" stuff that's the problem............
Hey and Eastex,
the tri-tip may not be too bad, I've had a number of decent pre-done ones.....
If they're just bagged up with a marinade that's different than the saline solutions that get used for pork ( what, do they think the poor pig's in the hospital & needs IV's ?)
it's a big, thick piece of meat compared to spares, etc.
