What do you use to moisten your meat?



Recommended Posts

Normally, I like to taste my meat. chicken on the bbq with little flavor, steak with no flavor, etc. I enjoy the taste of the actual meat. My husband is not like me and he douses everything in sauce, but I don't like my food that way.

I am afraid when I start eating food again I am going to need to moisten my food more, and I'm not going to like it.

So what do you use to moisten your food? My doctor recommends light mayo, light Salad Dressing, salsa, etc, but none of those sound good to me on chicken and steak.

If your grilling it, what about wrapping it in foil after a few mins of sering the meat... With some extra virgin olive oil, or i can't believe its not butter, even maybe 1/2 cup water...??

I use my crock pot a lot. The meat is very moist but the taste not hidden under BBQ Sauce, etc.

I haven't had any problems with meat...and I have prett good restriction. I always marinate our steaks with some evoo and s&p and the use a tenderizer to poke holes in it. as for chicken...i love salsa over my chicken. what I do is raw chicken in a casserold dish, a can of salsa and bake till chicken is cook and then sprinkle some cheese over top. super moist and so yummy if you are needing a mexican kick!

Crockpot...that has been great for me. Keeps the meat moist and I can get it down pretty easily. Also, I have a Deep Covered Baker from Pampered Chef and it is great for cooking meat in the microwave. When I don't have time for the crockpot, the microwave has been great...keeps the meat moist and juicy.

I am a steak lover, and there is no other way that I want my steak other than grilled, and I stayed away from it for a long time because I did not think I would be able to get it down. To my surprise it went down easily...I had my husband cook it a little rarer than usual, but it was fine.

Good Luck,

Michelle

How about a little chicken broth / beef broth? Just a little on the side to dip in

I can't douse a steak with anything, either. I eat it rare, and in tiny bites, well-chewed. I do this with most meats--I just make sure they are moist. Some days, they go down well, others are tighter---but sauce doesn't really make a tight day looser, so I stick with what I like :cursing:

Agree- So do I and the meat usually comes out falling apart. It is great and most of all...most of the time it is a one dish meal..no extra dirty pots etc! Which is a plus for me!!

Tomatoes can be your best friend as far as eating meat

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
