Gordon Ramsay is indeed a well-known and well-respected chef. He has definite opinions — and he makes them known.

You either like that or you don’t.

Here, he makes his opinion about steak known loud and clear. Let there be no question as to what he thinks.

Watch it and tell me what YOU think. Do you feel the same way?

The beautiful thing is, whether you agree or don’t agree you can cook your own darn steak at home any way you want it.

Thank goodness. I’m going to be listening up because I don’t always know what I’m doing at the helm of a grill. Any advice he has would be a good thing for me to pay attention to.

And I certainly wouldn’t want to ruin a perfectly beautiful filet mignon! That would be a crime.

Check out the video here and get the perfect filet to grill while you’re at it!

Steak and Eggs Song

By

Family Guy is a funny show to me and it never ceases to create catchy phrases – and songs – that stick in my brain and won’t leave until I do an hour-long class of bikram yoga.

This is one of those.

Yeah, you’re welcome.

Steak and eggs and eggs and steak . . . just watch – you’ll be singing it for the next six weeks.

Mediterranean Steak

By

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Oh, the joy of something new!

It would never occur to me to pour a tangy tomato sauce over a steak. My mind doesn’t work that way.

But why doesn’t it? Why must I live in a tiny little box where steaks are one way and tomato sauce is reserved only for pasta?

This video shows us how to expand our mind – Sicilian style.

And THIS is the recipe to follow when you want to try this at home!

Recipe: Steak Sicilian-style

Dominique Rizzo

Ingredients
  • 100 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 × 150 g sirloin steaks
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced
  • 1 stalk (40g) of celery, finely chopped
  • 40 g split green olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 red capsicum, seeded and cut into 1-cm cubes
  • 1 × 400g tin peeled tomatoes, diced
  • 15 g capers in brine, drained
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Crusty bread and green salad, to serve
Preparation

Preheat oven to 200 C.

To peel the tomatoes, bring a saucepan of water to boil. Score the base of the tomatoes with a cross and remove the eye, then place the tomatoes into the boiling water for approximately 30 seconds until the skin starts to come away from the flesh. Remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and place in a bowl of iced water to cool. Peel the skin, remove the seeds, roughly chop the flesh and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan large enough to fit all the steaks over a high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and fry for 30 seconds on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add in the garlic and fry for 30 seconds or until just colored. Add the celery, olives and capsicum to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until the capsicum and celery have softened. Add the tomatoes, oregano and capers, lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Place the steaks into a casserole or ceramic baking dish, pour over the sauce and bake for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve the steak and sauce with crusty bread and green salad.

Serving Size

Serves 4

Steak Etiquette

By

Is it okay to ask for steak sauce at a steakhouse?

Does it insult the chef if you order your steak well done? (Well, that’s why I like my steak at home – I never insult myself. But that’s another story.)

These steak questions and more are answered by celebrity chef Bobby Flay in this enlightening video (click on photo).

Click here for video. Then go cook a steak at home – where no one will judge you. Well, except maybe the cat.

What Does Steak Mean?

By

Is this a deep, philosophical question?

An inquiry from a visitor to our planet?

Nope, just a “Who’s on first?” type of comedy skit from our friends at BBC.

Steak style.

Funny? You decide!

Video Tips on Grilling Steak

By

Good Day Café: Grilling Steak: MyFoxNY.com

It’s that time of year! So many things to celebrate – Father’s Day, graduations . . . summer!

And how do we celebrate things around here? Why, with food, of course!

So to help us do that, here’s a video of Arturo McLeod, executive chef at Benjamin Steak House in NYC, showing us exactly how to grill that perfect steak or burger.

My favorite takeaway from this one? Heat your grill 30-45 minutes before putting on the steaks.

Now that’s a HOT grill! Makes sense, though.

Mmmm, I can hear that beef sizzling now . . .
