Steak Bar?

Now, if you’re a TRUE steak lover, this is NOT the way to go!

I can’t even imagine what went through someone’s head when they came up with this idea.

Something like this, “Hey!  Let’s compress a tender, juicy steak into a compact bar.  Then, we’ll package it and sell it!”

This is a travesty. Write your congressmen and women. Demand that this kind of abuse be stopped.

Then, this weekend, go out and cook yourself a REAL steak like this and this and this.

No wrapper needed.

Recipe: 15-Minute Steak

Summary: Quick and tasty steaks pan fried

Ingredients

  • – 1 serving of steak (I’m using the ribeye cut here) – olive oil – sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper – herbs of your choice (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Brush the steak with some oil and season with salt, pepper and herbs (optional) to taste just before cooking. 2. Heat the griddle pan on high heat till very hot. Place the steak onto the hot pan (you should hear a sizzling sound if the pan is hot enough) and reduce the heat to medium high. 3. Cook the meat based on the cooking times reference above. For example, for my steak which is 3/4 inch thick, I cook the meat on one side first for 4 minutes, then I flip over to the other side to cook for another 5 minutes. This is for medium. 4. Place the steak on a plate and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
