I got a small Chuck roast/ steak. almost 2 lbs, 1.88. Marbled very nice, not overly fatty
Figuring no reason to dry brine it?
Not sure weather to make a small pot of chili or stew?
I can also add some boneless Chix? ( Brunswick stew ?)
Thinking dutch oven, due to the crappy snow/mix here @ the shore.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Tired of the usual ?

HI ! everyone.
Think I am going to try to do a beef stroganoff! its a small cut ,not many options? but well marbled! again its almost 2 lbs.
My only question is should i dry brined it lightly? Not a fan of salt? using coarse sea salt.
I want to have tender meat , not too salty ?
I am going to cut down into small 1/2 in thick strips , before I pan fry them searing.
Slice down after a light dry brine? SPOG ?
Cooking late tomorrow.

I like dry brined beef...a lot. just use as much as you would normally. it doesnt take a lot.
