Spring Steak!

It’s the first day of spring! This day makes me so happy every year.

It signals warmer weather ahead and that makes me utterly giddy.

And in honor of the spring season, just last week, we took a spring break trip with the kids to the Bahamas. They were off school for a week.  We’ve never done such a thing before and we didn’t know what to expect.

We usually travel to such exotic locales as:  Oklahoma City, Houston and Pearl, Mississippi. Don’t get me wrong, we have mad love for all those places – but let’s just say they aren’t featured on the Travel Channel very often.

We had been saving up for quite a while and when the day finally came for us to leave on our big trip, we were anxious, excited and thrilled.

While there, my husband and I decided we couldn’t leave without sampling a Bahamian steak. It had to happen.

What you see above is a Bahamian Kansas City strip steak. Medium.

Exquisite.

THIS made the trip even more memorable. And it proved to us that a quality steak is a quality steak no matter where you go in the world.

It all starts with a great cut of beef. If you don’t have that, it’s over.

Thank goodness this was incredible. They know how to do steak right on the island!

What an amazing way to welcome spring!!!

A True Steak Enthusiast

I thought I was a steak enthusiast, but THIS GUY has me beat four ways to Sunday.

I love me some beef, but I gotta admit I’ve never gone this far for a juicy steak.

And that looks like a great cut of beef.

How far have YOU gone for a great steak? Have you taken it camping? Traveled to a foreign land?

Let me know! I want to know who is the GREATEST steak enthusiast!

Who in tarnation is Aaron Carter, you ask?

That’s not important. He likes steak! He’s one of us!

Click here to read about Aaron’s unusual steak marinade. Maybe you’d like to try it yourself. If you do, let me know what you think. Uh, cuz I don’t think I’ll be actually trying it myself. But that’s just me.
