More Steak on a Rock

A while back I showed you this kitchen gadget where you cook your steak on a rock.

I thought that was pretty out there. But this recipe takes the concept one step further and actually puts you out in the wilderness – cooking your steak on a rock.

Now if you’re the adventurous type, this might be right up your alley.

IF you try this, be sure to heed all warnings about wet rocks and such. Click here to read – thoroughly – the instructions for this great beef adventure.

Note:  I understand this works best if you like your steaks rare. If you’re a medium well/well done kinda guy this might not be for you. You’ll be waiting for centuries for your steak to cook on that rock.

As for me, I’m content to hear your stories about how YOU enjoyed your rocky steaks. Do tell!

National Nutrition Month: Focus on Lean Meat

Since March is National Nutrition Month, there’s a lot of talk about eating healthy out there.

We steak lovers strive to be healthy, too, so I thought we might like a refresher on what the leanest cuts of meat actually are.

And where’s the best place to get this information? The American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics at EatRight.org.

Click here to see the full answer to the question:  “Which cuts of meat are considered lean?”

And when you’re ready to incorporate some sirloin into your weekly menus, you can order some fantastic beef that has been certified extra lean by the American Heart Association here.

What are YOUR goals for this National Nutrition Month???
