If you have a CSO, you might try this method.  If not...anyone???  @Anna N?

Sous vide 24 hrs @ 54.5-56°C then a quick sear. Hard to beat it for taste and tenderness.

No pretty pictures.    Not bad Israeli couscous seasoned with onion, fine herbes, parsley, and, sure a bit of butter.    Chard stalks stir-fried with green onions and oyster sauce.    So far, passable.   

But with an unforgivable logic lapse, I picked up a preseasoned flap meat.    The meat was super tender, perhaps a red-flag, and the spices really interesting.   But the SALT LEVEL should have made this product illegal.     Beyond unhealthful, it was gaggingly salty.    Too bad.    It could have been so good.

The piece above is after serving both of us.   And this was only half of the slab.     Trying to decide if we should toss both out for feral animals or if it is better going to compost.    Sad.

Yes the pre-seasoned can be cloying in the salt department (esp TJ) Korean market usully ok cuz more sweet side. I stopped long ago and buy it "nekkid"

In similar circumstances, I've made soup. The salt mostly goes into the broth, where you can compensate for it. 

It's a frugality thing on my part, of course. Tossing it is also a perfectly valid option.

I suggested chili.   Husband suggested toss.    I may still override.

 

I could also work in ragu.

This looks awesome and I am stealing your menu for my dinner tonight.

 

Last night, glazed salmon with rice and miso soup with bok choy

@Margaret Pilgrim 

 

why hurt a feral animal ?

 

next time get flap as flap , 

 

on sale of course

 

chill the rest that you have   very cold

 

cut off thin slices and use for a sandwich

 

after you put those slices in ice cold water and 

 

pat dry  it will make a nice sandwich , but you will probalby

 

loose the marinade from that meat

 

no matter , add your own on the sandwich.

Totally agree with both your first premise and later recs.    We almost never buy seasoned meat or other prepped foods.   This just somehow called my name by price and faith in the grocer.    There was nothing "wrong" with this meat, just that it was seasoned for another demographic.     But your warnings are valid and well received.   

 

I will most probably leach out some salt and repurpose as Chromedome suggests.    We throw out scraps but not overly spiced stuff for our furry visitors.

I'm obsessed thinking about this for Christmas. Did you make the pasta? - it looks like it has a good "chew". If so -recipe? Thanks for the inspiration
