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?

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!

The San Francisco Giants claimed the World Series as their own last night and as the bet goes, their mayor will receive a heapin’ mess of Texas barbecue.

The friendly wager between Arlington’s mayor and Frisco’s mayor has turned out to be quite the prize for the city by the bay.

Doesn’t that brisket look gorgeous? Pure beefy, smoky goodness. Makes you wonder if those Giants players were thinking of THIS as they were beating up on the Rangers.

Eat up, Mr. Newsom! You and your city deserve it!

Well played, sir. Well played.
