This is a new one to me. Winco had it and two packages were marked waaay
down as it needs top be used by today. I wasn't sure if that would be enough
so I bought an additional small package at regular price. It is cooking now
on top of the stove. I plan to serve it tomorrow with barely. Not entirely
sure how I'll do the barley but probably baked with carrots and celery.

Has anyone here seen or used it? It's not something I would normally buy but
the marked down price attracted me.

There is no such thing as "raw" roast beef. I was a meat cutter for 15 years
and I never saw any such product.
Better enroll in a "Home Economics" course...you need a refresher session.

I bought it today at Winco. Beef for roasting. Pre-sliced. Aren't you the
one who said there are no Haricot Verts?

He said haricots verts are simply green beans. That's true in French.
It may also be true in Canada, because of their French population. But
in other English speaking countries (and the Netherlands), it's like
this:

If I remember correctly, Roy bases his knowlege on the years he filled
shelves in a supermarket :)

Perhaps what you need is a writing course. Your subject line says it's
pre-sliced raw *roast beef*, not pre-sliced beef slices for roasting.
I've never seen what you're trying to describe. How thick are these
slices? What cut of beef?

"Roast beef" is too vague and you don't say how thick the slices are.

At Costco, I saw thinly sliced beef from the rib primal, suitable for
cheesesteak, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, or bulgogi.

Sliced raw beef..... wouldn't that be steaks?

Grocery stores often have odd labels on things. I bought some raw beef
last year, cut like petite (tenderloin) filets. The label merely stated
it was beef "for marinating"; the cut was not identified. And yes,
without marinating it would be tough as shoe leather. :)

I have no idea what she bought at Winco. <shrug>

I've seen it there Julie. I've never bought any. Maybe use them for
a beef recipe where you roll a filling inside of the beef?

can see for that would be using the beef to wrap around a filling and
then doing a braise. Winco does a bunch of specific pre-cuts. They
must have a customer base for them. If you go to Winco in the
morning, they have gone through all their packaged butcher cuts,
checked the dates and yellow tag those that have been in the case a
couple of days. I always check the meat cases for yellow tags. The
meat is always in excellent condition and, after all, just last night
I would have had to pay full price for a package that is now yellow
tagged and a great deal cheaper.

If sliced paper thin, I doubt it would be suitable as a steak.

Of course, it wouldn't work as a roast, either.

It's thinner ; used for making beef olives. (stuff and roll the
slices) Beef olives were economy food in my childhood, a way of eking
out cheap meat cut from very tough old dairy cows. We used to dread beef
olives when they were served at school dinner and I've never eaten them
since.

That's what the label said. Slices are perhaps 1/8 inch thick. Not sure the
cut of beef but it cooked up nicely!

Me either. We have thin cut beef at Central Market that says Sukiyaki Beef.
That's obviously some kind of steak. This is clearly just like what I make
for roast beef.

This beef doesn't look like that. And it's very tender. Weird thing is, it
was tender but rare right away. Then it got tough so I had to cook it long
enough for it to get tender again.

Not sure I understand, Julie. If you "cooked it like you would a
roast" that would mean you put it in the oven for a couple of hours.

I believe you have said in the past that you don't do meat in the
oven. How do you normally cook a roast, and how does that cooking
method work with thin slices?

No. I usually do pot roast and that is cooked on top of the stove.

See above. Worked well. It's in the oven now over a bed of barley. Cooked
the barley first and am just keeping it warm.

That's the kind of stuff we was eating last night. It was various thin sliced meats grilled at the table. Lots of pork belly, beef brisket, and beef tongue. The kids ordered several plates of pork jowls. Those crazy kids! We got out of the joint round about midnight.

I never heard that term, before. Likewise, never heard of "veal
birds". BUT!, I have heard of "bragioli". Never had it, but saw on
one of the very few times I watched Everybody Loves Raymond (except
me!, dumbest show on TV!). ;)

Although if you want to Google for it, it's actually spelled "braciole".
The East Coast Italians (and those who have learned from them) use the
Neapolitan pronunciations. "Cappicola" becomes "gabbagool"

Exactly... saw-seege and meat-a-balles too. lol
Didja know that in Brooklyn to Italians all pasta is macaronis (Pl)
regardless of shape, and tomato sauce is tomato gravy.
