You be the judge.

Okay, you know if there’s a product out there called the “Perfect Steak System” we’re going to have to talk about it here. That’s just a fact.

I mean, really? It makes them perfect?

See for yourself. . .

The package includes a steak pan with integrated temperature gauge and something called a Digital Steak Pod Measuring Stick.

A quote:

Perfect Steak is the complete system that takes all the guess work out of cooking the perfect steak. Giving you control over the three T’s to perfect grilling; Temperature, Time, and Thickness. . .

With just a press of a button you’ll control when your steak is rare, medium, or well done, grilled perfectly every time.

Well, I’d certainly like to just press a button and have my steak come out perfectly. Totally.

But I’d miss those charred ribeyes we sometimes end up with when we forget about the steaks for 5 extra minutes.

If YOU’VE tried the Perfect Steak System, let me know what you thought!

Have a steaky weekend!!!!

I don’t know about you but when we’re grilling steaks we usually “eye it” to figure out when our steaks are done.

I like mine a bit more well done than my husband does so he takes his off the flame earlier.

Sometimes, our method doesn’t give us the results we want. Imagine that.

Thus, the need for Mini Steak Thermometers. . .

Aren’t they cute? These babies tell you exactly how well done your steak is. In real time!

In retrospect, maybe guessing is not the best cooking technique I’ve ever employed. I’m learning to let the tools be my friends instead.

Try ’em and let me know what you think!

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.
