Selecting Ribeye Steaks

This short video gives us a few pointers on selecting a good ribeye steak.

I love what she has to say but I must add one more tip of my own.

Trust your steak vendor first. If you know you continually get quality steaks from somewhere – go back to them!

THEN, follow the tips in this video!

Have a fantastically steaky weekend!

Baseball Steak

THIS, my friends, is what’s known as baseball steak. And with the World Series revving up between the Rangers and Cardinals, what better time to serve them as a nod to America’s pastime?

Baseball Steak

The baseball steak is most often Top Sirloin, at least 2 inches thick, and it gets its name from the puffed up shape it has when it’s cooked. Much like a baseball!

Yours can be served with or without bacon, but really, when there’s a choice do you really say no to bacon?

Livestrong.com has a great page on several different ways to cook a baseball steak – complete with all the steps and ingredients you’ll need. Check it out here.

So get your Top Sirloin out (you can order some great beef here) and let’s play ball!

Steak Quiz

 

You think you know steak?

I thought I knew steak. Then I took this quiz.

I didn’t know everything I thought I knew.

I demand a re-quiz!

Okay, I can take it again now that I know all the answers. That’s fair, right?

How about YOU take the quiz and let me know how well you did.

There’s apparently more to steak than MEATS the eye.

Yes, I went there.

Take the fun little quiz here!!! And don’t take it as seriously as I did. It’s unsportsmanlike.
