Larger meat cuts for one person

[MountainMan]

I'm the only one in our family that eats meat.
I easily can deal with pulled pork, briskets and some roasts by using my vacuum sealer.


But how do I deal with things like Tri-Tip and such?


It seems wrong to slice them up before cooking.

Cook then eat what you can and vac seal the left overs. It's how I deal with it.

I mean, I would just eat the entire tri-tip personally

Even with vac seal you still have very limited freezer space. Big problem for only one in the cabin.

Tri-tip isn't that big. Do people not eat leftovers anymore??
I live off re-heated leftovers most of the work week.

Do you like your neighbors?

Cook it, eat it.. leftovers get vacuum sealed... sous vide to reheat. Or slice really thin and make cold cut sammich!!

I know someone who can do that, no joke. I can’t believe how much he can eat, oftentimes when he goes to someone’s house for dinner he’ll stop and get a burger on his way home because he’s still hungry.

Same here, especially for lunches. Only time something gets frozen is if we can’t finish something before it goes bad. A tri tip has never been frozen...

I like leftovers pretty well... but usually not on the very next day. So that sort of limits how long I can eat off it before it goes "off". So it's eat it , freeze it or share- or some combo of the 3.

It's just me and the wife- I tend to share with my cross the street neighbor- he loves to see me traipsing his way with a foil packet in my hands.

Amazing how much some people can eat - around 6-8 ounces is usually plenty for me, but my stepson (college football player) could eat a whole tri-tip easily if I put it in front of him. He gets two steaks for dinner when he and his sister visit and he’s still the first one done.

Slice off what you want,freeze the rest whole.Reheat repeat.Keeps better frozen whole.Refreezing is not an issue no matter what some say.

Another idea, you could cut them in to steaks, pretty tasty when done right

You should see my 6 year old grandson eat. I ain’t kidding, that boy eats more than most adult men I know. And not an ounce of fat on the boy. He is solid muscle. He put me in the hospital emergency room with a dislocated thumb and he was not even 4 years old. Got to try morphine for the first time.
