Like poetry? Love beef?
Well, even if you don’t enjoy poetry, I’ll bet you’ll dig this little diddy — it’s about beef!
Our buddy over at “The Beefman Bloggeth” writes so eloquently about the “sizzle of a steak on a grill” and other beautiful things.
Well, you”ll just have to read it to truly appreciate it! It is . . . a work of art.
And thus concludes today’s educational, steaktastic exposure to the arts.

So apparently people have loved steak for such a long time that poetry about our beloved exists from as far back as the 1800s. Maybe even longer.
Here, a very wise writer waxes poetic about a luscious steak stew. Mmmmm. . .
I surely never hope to view
A steak as luscious as a stew.
The latter is the tasty goal
Of elements in perfect whole,
A mad assemblage of legumes
Exuding warm ambrosial fumes,
Each seasoning of proper length,
Proving in Union there’s strength.
A steak is grander, it is true,
Yet needs no special skill to brew.
It is an art a stew to make,
But anyone can broil a steak.
unknown, 1880

Hi! My name is Dena P., and I love steak. In fact, I’ve been on a quest for the perfect steak for a few years now.
I love experimenting with food and I like to get my family, friends and neighbors involved. They add a lot to my cooking experience by helping me perfect techniques and sharing recipes.
