10 Years of Steak and Bliss

Howdy, fellow steak lovers!

Today is my 10th wedding anniversary. My husband and I got married way back in the ’90s. Wow. Our wedding day was even in another century.

Here we are on our very special day . . .

Wait, that’s Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. My bad. 

Anyway, so many things have changed for us in a decade. But one thing that has stayed the same after all these years? The way we celebrate.

For the 10th year in a row, my husband and I will be dining on two, buttery KC Strips. Yes siree, we always look forward to April 18th because we each know we’ll be chowing down on some fine food with our favorite person.

No Happy Meals, no talk of bills and no soccer balls in our peripheral vision.

Just planning for the future and laughing at the past. Now that’s my idea of a good time.

So here’s to the next decade, Snookums! (I don’t really call him that. I just wanted to use the most embarrassing name I could think of.)

This year, the steaks are on me–out of your checking account!

Can You Smell That?

If it’s possible, I can actually smell the steak cooking in this video on YouTube.

This is a demonstration from iFoods.tv — a flavorful Steak Teriyaki using sirloin and soy sauce, among other amazing ingredients.

I think any cut of meat you like would do equally as well as sirloin.

Our chef here uses sugar in his recipe. I love that! That’s what makes the soy turn sweet. Oh, yeah.

Um, I just buy Kikkoman’s Teriyaki sauce already made. But this is so much cooler. And authentic.

Check it out!

The Marriage of Salad and Steak

Who else but Martha Stewart herself could create such a scrumptious recipe for combining two things we usually eat together in the same meal anyway?

Don’t you often eat a salad before your steak? Hey, save yourself some time and make this yummy combo–Thai-Style Steak Salad.

It calls for boneless ribeyes and some tasty Thai-inspired ingredients.

Here’s the link to the recipe and more:

One interesting sidenote:  When I pull up this page, at the very bottom is an ad for “How To Treat Constipation.”

Coincidence? You decide.

And keep it to yourself.
