Better Beef

My son is a Type 1 diabetic. So, I get all the publications from the American Diabetes Association. Their magazine, Diabetes Forecast, is awesome. It’s got great health information and recipes.

This article about choosing the healthiest beef (hence, steak) is a great tool. It explains a lot about how to get the most out of your beef-eating experiences.

And don’t we all want that in the end?

These heart-healthy steaks certified by the American Heart Association are some of my faves. Try ’em yourself!

And check out that Diabetes Forecast article here. Your heart, your body and your taste buds will thank you for it!

No More Steak Mistakes!

Fatima cooks steaks that are tough and overdone. Here are some tips to avoid these same steak mistakes:

Tips for Cooking the Perfect Steak:

  1. Steaks must be cooked so that the entire surface caramelizes to form a rich thick crust.
  2. Grill Pan: Bone in Steaks should be grilled outdoors or on an indoor grill pan to achieve maximum contact between heat source and meat
  3. Cast Iron Skillet: Boneless Rib Eye and Strip steaks are the best for pan searing

The Big Steak List

Okay, now this is awesome.

Our friends over at Science-of-Food.com have posted “The Big Steak List” which includes every which way for garnishing/cooking steaks imaginable. About 180 ways, actually.

It includes sauces, too. Oh, and a little introduction to further explain some of the terms used.

It’s a treasure trove to go back to when you’re in a rut, want a steak, but want something different.

Check it out!
