So I found this discussion group on the ‘net called “I Like Steaks.”

I was a bit skeptical at first cuz, well, just listen to some of the members’ names. . .

There’s PhysicalWreck and the very lovely BlasphemousAngel and then there’s sks19 who’s “feeling crappy” today.

Eeeewkay.

But then I read this and decided I might need to take a closer look at this discussion group:

One of my favorite ways to make a steak is to cut up onion, and a little butter, some salt and pepper and maybe a garlic clove or 2, wrap it in foil and bake or throw on a BBQ, if I want to sear the outside, I do that after it’s cooked to almost where I want it, just to get that searing, it makes for a very tender, juicy and well flavored steak.

That, by the way, was from BlasphemousAngel. More like AwesomeAngel, I’d say. The wrapping of steak in foil with the butter, onion and garlic is sheer genius.

I’ve never tried that. But I’m gonna.

Sounds like it would totally infuse the steak with juicy flavor. And that rocks.

Wanna delve deeper into the discussion? Check out the group over at ExperienceProject.com here.

And when you do, give sks19 a fist bump from me, will ya?

I LOVE trying new cuts of steak because it gets me out of my comfort zone. I tend to gravitate toward my old standby favorite, the ribeye.

But, sometimes, I won’t try something because I don’t exactly know what I’m trying.

That’s why I like this handy-dandy little guide to all the different cuts of steak. It tells you just what you’re eating . . . and why.

Like ’em extremely tender? You need a filet mignon.

Want a firm, lean cut? Try a top sirloin.

You get the picture.

And speaking of pictures . . . that one at the top? It’s a Porterhouse.

Nice, huh? It’s got the best of both worlds, baby — strip and filet.

Click on the guide above and you can be edumacated too!

NY: New LG Sworn in Over Steak July 10, 2009

From the NY Times:

Mr. Ravitch’s personal lawyer rushed from Manhattan to the restaurant, where the lieutenant-governor-to-be held up his right hand and recited the oath of office at 8:45 p.m., in between bites of his steak. The impromptu swearing-in made his appointment official before Republicans were able to persuade a judge on Long Island to block him from office. A waiter documented the occasion by snapping a photo with Mr. Ravitch’s wife’s cellphone.

So began the surreal journey of the 76-year-old Mr. Ravitch, who was perfectly content spending his golden years attending meetings of the various boards he sits on, running his investment consulting firm and honing his skills as an amateur woodworker.

I’m sorry, but this is classic. And bravo for not letting “official business” get in the way of a great steak dinner!!!

Now THAT is a steak enthusiast. . .
