Steak Enthusiast

So, I love the movie Napoleon Dynamite. It’s silly, clean and entirely quotable.

And my beloved steak plays a major role in this movie. It seems like the main characters are eating it in almost every scene.

This scene, in particular, makes me giggle like I’m 13 and at a slumber party. Check it out.

***In no way do I advocate hurling steak at anyone on a bike . . . wearing glasses . . . with a dork riding on the back.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Cut steak into 3-by- ½ -by- ¼ -inch pieces; set aside. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium-high until hot. Stir-fry onions 2 to 3 minutes or until soft. Add beef and stir-fry just until warm. Remove beef mixture from skillet with slotted spoon.

Place pizza crust on an ungreased large baking sheet. Spread with peanut sauce; sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese. Top with beef mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with carrots and cilantro. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Makes 8 wedges.

I found a new blog called “Man Life.” The tag line on the blog is “Just What it Sounds Like.”

So, Man Life believes beef is a priority.  It’s right up there with boxing, monster trucks and the General Lee (you know, the car from “The Dukes of Hazzard.”)

I enjoy reading things from a man’s point of view. Gives me some insight. But, really, they’re not that mysterious. Really.

So, BREAKING NEWS, a tasty cut of beef is pleasing to a man.

Thank you, Man Life. My eyes are open now!

Now, if you could just tell me why they leave their socks in the middle of the floor on a pretty regular basis but get really angry when a certain female’s hairspray bottle encroaches on their side of the bathroom counter — THAT WOULD BE A BREAKTHROUGH.

Check out Man Life’s hilarious take on what’s important in life here. I’ll whisper under my breath to you that I wholeheartedly agree with many of his priorities. I’ll let you guess which ones I think are hooey.
