Chopped sirloin steak 97/3

[Cookingmama]

I saw a couple packages of chopped sirloin steak 97/3 on sale.  It is not ground up....but looks like it's been passed through.  How do you cook this?  Quick cook time?  Or does it need more time?

almost no fat....hmmmmm


the wife finds things like this sometimes & I have a odd perspective on it, but braized in butter & spices, then tacos maybe?

I just find if low fat content items get cooked too fast, they tend to toughen up, so slow would be my best guess......

Agree with Buckie. I cook venison, very lean. I cube(bite size), marinate and hit it hard and fast with heat. Has to be medium rare, or it turns tough. I put out toothpicks to eat it with. The well done types never know that way.

I would make chili with it. I dice up sirloin for my chili. Also put bacon, ground pork and ground chuck in it so it has plenty of fat.

Hmmm.....so sounds like long cooking would be better.  Yeah I'm not a fan of 97/3.  But I just wanted to try something out with it.

Wrap some bacon around it, that fixes everything.

Stir fry or crockpot FTW! I saw ground sirloin, ground round, and another low fat meat on sale this morning! I wish they'd just put the regular ground beef on sale! (Going for flavor myself!) ;-)

I made some of these tonight.  I got one of my cast iron skillets and got it super hot.  Then I seasoned them....then dragged them through some lightly salted and peppered flour.  No egg wash.....no water.....just the flour. 

Some oil in the pan...and I dropped them in.  Couple minutes on the first side and it got a good crust.  Flipped....let it get crusty on the other side.  Then I covered it 3/4 of the way for another 3 or so minutes. 

I didn't get a whole serving....just a bite of one as I was making dinner quickly before heading out for work.   But....it still tasted GREAT!
