My dh bought a packages piece of meat (cheap)..when I opened the packet I saw that its so full of fats..one side is really think..I can't even cut it off. The other side is covered by a thin layer..but this holds/covers all of the piece.

its just over 1kg

is grilling best? will the fat melt?

any tips would help..need to make something good for shabbos!

thanks

NOT grilling. You want a long, slow cook like a crock pot.

Grilling wouldn't give enough time for the fat to sufficiently render and melt off, IMHO. I would take the meat, season it and place it on a rack in a baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake low and slow, overnight in the oven at about 250 degrees. Then, the maximum amount of fat will have the chance to drip off, you'll have plenty of time to let the juices chill so you can lift the fat off and make a gravy, and the yummy smells will make you look forward to Shabbat dinner!

I have done this with very fatty cuts and they have come out super soft and delicious. Using a rack in a dutch oven or roasting pan lets all that fat melt away out of your meat.
It would become soft too slow cooking in a crock pot, but it would be sitting in all that fat. This way is better imo.

boil in a pot of water for about an hour and then cook how you want. I've never done this because I have no patience (I cut the fat away usually), but that's what my mil said to do with certain meats.

Pot-au-feu!

Seal it by heating in a large pot for a few minutes on a very high heat, with a sprinkle of coarse salt. Then add (whole, peeled) carrots, potatos, turnips, celery, leeks and onions, cover with water and add a bay leaf and some thyme (or a bouquet garni sachet) and simmer for several hours (the longer the better)!

I often prepare this on Friday and leave it in the crockpot overnight for Shabbos lunch! Yum Smile

thanks everyone, I think I'll try the baking overnight (never done one overnight and don't have a slow cooker)

what do I season with? put it in just before going to bed? and take it out when? how many hours is ok?
