It helps to partially freeze the meat before you cut. A deli slicer is the perfect way to go but we don't have one of those. Years ago we had an inside track with a friend at one of the local grocery stores who would let us know when the meat was on sale and then freeze us a piece and slice it into beautiful thin slices, but now we just do it ourselves. It isn't as pretty but it works out just as well.<br /><br />By the way, we first had this meal in a restaurant in Montreal about 30 years ago. They called it a Chinese fondue and that's how we still think of it. It was delicious tonight, as usual, and I'll share some pictures tomorrow.The Witchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02021866057255311124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789096366669618621.post-73924593916218910812010-02-13T19:01:11.737-04:002010-02-13T19:01:11.737-04:00That is a huge roast for 2 ppl, I agree, but you g...That is a huge roast for 2 ppl, I agree, but you got a great deal :-) I go the lazy way, I buy the beef already cubed!<br /><br />Your dinner sounds delicious tonight, as does your seafood chowder tomorrow.
