Steak of Life

This is a new one on me. But my philosophy is, hey, whatever floats your boat.

Some football fans in Kansas City have a ritual involving steak, football greats and a mean forward pass. You can try this on Sunday, but don’t blame me if you have to eat steak with little bits of asphalt in it. Here’s the skinny from tailgating.com . . .

STEAK OF LIFE
From Brian D. a KC Chiefs Tailgater

This is an Arrowhead tradition since 1999 and can be found at every Chiefs’ home game.

The act of tossing meat amongst friends is rumored to bring eternal life. To date hundreds have eaten the Steak of Life but not one has passed away.

Ingredients-
1 single 1.5 lbs inexpensive steak

Marinade-
1 black and white printed photo of either Jan Stenerud or Christian Okoye
Red wine vinegar to taste
Worcestershire to taste
Cheap red wine to taste
Cheap bourbon (preferable Ten High) to taste

Preparation/Cooking-
Combine liquid ingredients in Tupperware with steak. Add photo of KC Chief Legend. Allow at least 4 hours to marinade to allow the Ghosts of Chiefs’ Past to fully penetrate the meat. Once at Arrowhead (preferably lot C7), light the charcoals and allow them to heat up. Very important, do not use a gas grill. Cook the steak for approximately 4 minutes a side.

To Serve-
One Chiefs fan takes the steak off the grill and yells “Steak of Life!” followed by one large bite. The first Chiefs fan then throws the steak in the air into a large group of frenzied Chiefs fans. The steak is caught, or picked up off the ground/vehicle, another bite is taken and the steak is again thrown into the air. This routine continues until the steak is finished. One popular method of catching the steak is with the mouth. However, this requires tremendous focus. Clean up with baby wipes.

I Don’t Know, Man

This is a photo of a 72-oz. steak that’s *FREE — if you can eat it all in one sitting. You can find it at the Big Texan Steak Ranch.

I love steak. But I’m pretty sure that doesn’t mean I have to eat so much of it it’s coming out of my pores.

You can check out some interesting facts about the 72-ouncer here. One little tidbit that caught my attention:  the youngest person to finish the steak in the allotted time was ELEVEN YEARS OLD.

Child Protective Services, anyone?

I *Heart* Steak

Clothes with food on them crack me up.

I’m not sure if it’s the concept of wearing food that makes me giggle or the thought of advertising your taste preferences on your chest.

Either way, it’s just plain funny to me. Case in point . . .

I think what’s funniest to me is trying to come up with a scenario where this attire is acceptable.

PTA meeting? Nah.

Business lunch? Nope.

Playdate with the neighbors? Don’t think so.

Weekly “Comic Book Fans of the U.S.A.  — Southwest Branch” meeting? Bingo.

Find the right audience and steak on a shirt is absolutely appropriate.
