Good Day Café: Grilling Steak: MyFoxNY.com

It’s that time of year! So many things to celebrate – Father’s Day, graduations . . . summer!

And how do we celebrate things around here? Why, with food, of course!

So to help us do that, here’s a video of Arturo McLeod, executive chef at Benjamin Steak House in NYC, showing us exactly how to grill that perfect steak or burger.

My favorite takeaway from this one? Heat your grill 30-45 minutes before putting on the steaks.

Now that’s a HOT grill! Makes sense, though.

Mmmm, I can hear that beef sizzling now . . .

So, it’s summer break here at our house. The kids are home. I work from home. And there are lots of cartoons on TV.

Mind you, not all day, but isn’t that what you’re supposed to do in the summer?

And I’ve discovered that even those clever cartoon-makers are steak lovers. This “Phineas and Ferb” episode features the bad guy in town stealing all the steaks and locking them up far, far away. The storage container of steaks blows up and steaks rain down. Yay!

WARNING:  If you are afraid of raining steaks, DO NOT watch this episode — especially at the end!

These amazing steakburgers (just look at that beauty!) are perfect for summer get-togethers.

This is truly a STEAKburger. Steakburgers are made from . . . well, steaks.

This one is ribeye. Oh, yum!

These guys ground up their own ribeyes to make these steakburgers. You can do it too.

OR, you can buy them ready-to-go here.

Check this out to see exactly how it’s done!
