What is the usual industry standard cut of meat used in commercial deli sliced roast beef?
Jun 05, 2007 by Trust me ;) | Posted in Cooking & Recipes
Ah the taste and tender texture of deli style roast beef sliced thin. Somewhat rare nice pinkish mauve color with a dark/black rind or skin just can't be beat. Recreate at home?
I'm thiking they use a slow convection rotisery style oven to perfectly cook these cuts of meat that wind up sold in the deli or for that matter in plastic packages from Hillshire Farms?
I want to make something similar or a reasonable faxcimile at home. I have gathered some basic golden rules of Sear it, cook Low & Slow, and at 130 degrees or so take out the roast and let sit. I have an electric meat slicer. What I really need to know is; What is the usual industry standard cut of meat used in commercial sliced roast beef you buy in the store package or deli case as fresh? Rump Roast, Chuck Roast, Rib Roast? Yes I'm a meat neophyte (Meatophyte) and have much ignorance but with your help, I might just be able to turn the corner.
Thanks in advance.
Okay it appears there are several possible answers here. Lets simplify a bit. If you go into Arby's you will see many times an automatic meat slicer with a giant cooked roast slicing away this delicious juicy roast beef. Now just one question, of the large grazing bovine also known as a cow; What cut of that grass eater is in the slicer at Arby's. I know it's not just random cuts of roast, it's the same cut, every time, in every place in every state. This should definatively narrow the anwers to just one.
So one would think...
I would buy an Eye round or bottom round roast if I were you,make sure to tenderize it with sea salt at least 12 hours before cooking it any course salt will do but sea salt is the healthier choice when it comes to sodium.Arby's does not use a cut off of the round it uses compressed meat its the beef equivilent to deli turkey breast. if you want a roast beef there are several options not just one.I would suggest trying them until you find your favorite try variations of rump or round if you want deli beef or arby's then go to a deli or an arbys or find a food distributor that sells the beef but you will most likely have to buy the whole 5 pound piece of meat.
