Steak Made Easy

I like any recipe with the word “easy” in it.

Here’s a slightly different twist on the old standby casserole. I’d suggest using the boneless ribeyes with this one.

Let me know what you think when you try it!

EASY STEAK CASSEROLE  
1 can French onion soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup (do not dilute)
6 rib-eye steaks
1 sm. can mushrooms or fresh mushrooms, optional
Mix soups together in 9×13 pan. Place steaks either cut into strips or left whole into pan. Cover with mushrooms. Cover pan with foil. Bake in slow oven, 200-250 degrees, 4-5 hours or bake at 350 degrees approximately 2-3 hours. Serve over rice, noodles or mashed potatoes.

Fido Knows His Steak, Too

You KNOW you want your dog to look like this.

Just admit it.

His shirt says, “I’m a Steak Guru!” And doesn’t that really just say, “CLASSY?”

Ladies, if you read the post yesterday, you’ll remember that statistics are now showing that single women should embrace their inner steakmaster and relax. Men will appreciate you for it.

Well, here’s an extra layer to add to your arsenal of dating techniques. Get Fido in on it.

Prepare some T-bones, or a couple of ribeyes, put Fido in his “Steak Guru” shirt and invite that special someone over.

He’ll be like putty in your hands.

Or not.

What are you asking me for? I haven’t dated in, like, 12 years. We didn’t even have text messaging back then.

But for more *great* ideas like this one, just head on over to thesteakguru.com. You can buy this shirt and even his and hers shirts there.

Or . . . steer clear of the shirt idea altogether and just look for somebody at church. It’s really your call.

Dating results not guaranteed.

Steak = Confidence, Ladies

A recent NY Times article extolled the virtues of being a steak lover in today’s dating scene. And if you’re a female steak lover? Huge bonus points.

Here’s a little excerpt from that article by Allen Salkin:

Be Yourselves, Girls, Order the Rib-Eye

MARTHA FLACH mentioned meat twice in her Match.com profile: “I love architecture, The New Yorker, dogs … steak for two and the Sunday puzzle.”

She was seeking, she added, “a smart, funny, kind man who owns a suit (but isn’t one) … and loves red wine and a big steak.”

Her ad worked. She met a guy and a year later they got married.

They served steak at their wedding reception.

The article went on to say this . . .

Red meat sent a message that she was “unpretentious and down to earth and unneurotic,” she said, “that I’m not obsessed with my weight even though I’m thin, and I don’t have any food issues.”

Well, rock on, Martha. Eating steak on dates apparently says you are comfortable with yourself and you know what you like.

Skimpy salad-eaters, listen up! It’s time to stop the madness. We all know you go home and eat a burger after you pick at the bowl of greens you had on your date with Tad.

Just keep it real and have the steak. Better yet, cook your own steaks with Tad. Can you imagine how bowled over he would be seeing you flip those babies on the grill? ‘Cause, seriously, if you did somehow marry the guy he would eventually find out you don’t subsist on leaves alone.

Isn’t it better to start out with honesty?

Just break free! Cut into that steak! You know you want to.

Check out the entire article here.

And then get you and Tad some steaks here.
