Buddy gave me a 4# shoulder cut that is supposedly “prime” grade beef.
He swears that it’s really really good meat.
I hate to throw it in crock pot stew.
Any suggestions? It’s thawing for tomorrow or Wednesday.
I’m considering korean marinade and on the weber for a few hours? Not sure

Here's a Korean marinade I've made before that's really good. After you pull the meat from it you can toss it in a pot with 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch to thicken it up into a sauce.

-Ingredients-
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

I use something like this a lot. Along with your ingredients I include a tablespoon or so of fish or oyster sauce, 1 cup mirin, 1/2 cup gochujang, 1 diced onion, 1 dices apple, and a couple tablespoons of blackstrap molasses. I also double the garlic and ginger. Marinate for at least 24 hours.

It got eaten 🙂.
I wasn’t impressed with the jarred marinade. It lacked the flavor that I was looking for.
Not surprising.
A hot/ rare cook needs more”punch” when it comes to seasoning.(unless it’s just S/P and butter😉)
Next time I’ll go with some variation of Josh and Petes recipes.

I tried again yesterday. It’s really damn good.
Here ya go…White Boy Korean Marinade.
1 onion , 1 apple and 2 green onions ( diced course).
1 cup soy sauce , 1 1/3 cup water.
1 Tablespoon each: gochujang, fish sauce, rice vinegar, mirin and red pepper flakes.
2 Tablespoon each: fresh ground ginger and chopped garlic
3 Tablespoon each: sesame oil, molasses and Br. Sugar.

Bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes, transfer to blender and pulse it a few times… let it cool.
Pour over meat and marinade for 36 hours. Remove meat and strain marinade thru a screen strainer and bring the liquid to a boil, then simmer until it starts to thicken( to make a sauce).

I have no idea how to traditionally make korean bbq but, this was exceptionally good.

I'm glad it worked for you. I don't cook the marinade until after marinating the meat. I then do what you do to make the sauce.
