Beating my meat...

[snags]

I have a massive pork tenderloin.

I need to bash it flat before stuffing, rolling and stringing it up for roasting on Xmas day.

I am in an aggressive mood today and have some free time so am thinking of flattening it now. If I do it now, and freeze it will this have a detrimental effect on the meat in terms of tenderness and taste?

I'm not surprised you have a tender loin if you keep beating your meat.

The expression on your avatar is just right for that <sigh> chinadoll.

I'd freeze it as it is, and flatten it once you've defrosted it for cooking.

Just put it on a chopping board with a couple of layers of clingfilm over it and beat the crap out of it with a rolling pin or something similar.

Don't beat your meat before you freeze, you'll breakdown all the tissue and it'll be all floppy once you get it out (of the freezer)

ludwig - my expression rarely changes alas...

He's making stuffed, roast pork tenderloin. He's making the stuffing with erm stuffing stuff, chestnuts, mushrooms and I think there's some lemon in there too... s'really tasty. :c)
