I like stringy beef a lot. As far as meats, it's not easy for me to resist any meal made with delicious stringy beef - The preference is odd because I eat mainly vegetarian. I like the texture and the leanness and the taste I guess.

10 points if you can link me to the best webpage where I can learn all about stringy beef - how to shop for it, judge it, cook it, etc.

BQ: Is it possible to buy vacuum-sealed stringy beef that's already shredded (or is that a bad idea) or vacuum-sealed cuts of beef that can be cooked and easily shredded?

BQ2: I've heard the term "pulled pork" - Is pulled pork similar to stringy beef in texture? Don't tell me one is pig and the other's cow - that's common sense. Thanks.
 
I don't think theres a web site. And believe me when I tell you that I'm trying to help but damn...I've never heard this before. I really didn't get it until you said pulled pork. Okay, stringy beef; I think you are refering to the string like texture of beef along, or in the same direction as the grain. Your best bet is to get a cheaper cut of steak or a roast- better- and cook however you like. Then, when its done and tender, let it cool and cut into sections across the grain or lines. Then pull apart. Its that easy. I hope I helped....odd question though....

Pulled pork is the same thing; pulled apart- from bone or fat- for making bbq sandwiches.
