Steak Porn

Bob, the image is skewed on my laptop…how thick are you talking there?

Oh . . . 12 inches if you ask my ex-wife.

Okay, really . . . I didn’t measure but somewhere around 2 to 2 1/4 inches. It was a big boy.

so basically it’s just a prime rib for 1?

No bone, obviously, Rob. And it took me three meals to eat it, so perhaps you have a point.

The beef fairy showed up today. Right on schedule for the 4th of July! Sausages, Sliders, Burger Sampler, Bone-in Rib Eyes and Hangers. [dance-clap.gif]

here’s the raw version
Hanger steak

and the cooked

Steak Frites, used hanger steak from WF

Following Mel is just unfair.

Harlow Cattle Company grass-fed tri-tip below. Grass-fed always has the yellowish, nutty fat I love.

I feel so not worthy of even venturing into this thread. With guys doing steaks point two and all.
Anyway, here was dinner. Rib eyes, sliced fresh Jersey tomatoes and salad. Simple and fantastic. 2010 Quivet Las Madres Syrah fit the bill perfectly.

I should probably start shooting these pics BEFORE I start drinking :smiley:

I took advantage of HEB’s $7.97 per pound prime ribeye and bought a 7lb roast that I’m slicing off custom steaks from. Didn’t get pics of the first steak, but it was about 3" thick, shared between myself and my lady, and was absolutely outstanding. The best hunk of beef I’ve had this year.

1lb NY Strip from the local market. Every once in a while they have a winner. Hopefully I don’t kill it.

Seasoned with fresh ground salt and pepper. 1 minute per side on a smoking hot Lodge pan w/butter. Onto aluminum foil in 350 degree oven, oven turned off, pulled after 32 minutes and rested 5 min before slicing. Next time I’ll try a slightly cooler oven, maybe 300 degrees and keep the same cooking time.

very nice!

Does that make a difference?

I use Himala salt. The grind is far too course to use the way it comes. Flavorwise it makes a difference. Plus it doesn’t have any of the additives of standard table salt.

Brian, I love the bleu cheese combo with a nicely grilled steak as well. Nice job.

I would Imagine…Bill will be chiming in on this… with his Birthday TODAY!!

Cheers Tex!!
