Too Nice Not To Share...

Going simple tonight... Caught the meat counter at Wegmans at just the right time before these beauties disappeared. Probably the best prime filets I've ever been able to lay my hands on... Also, the Titos ain't bad either.

That's some fantastic marbling.

Looks great!  Nice to see you posting again.  Are you feeling better?

Looks Great. Can I ask you if you have a ice maker that makes the large cubes? I'm looking at getting a Scottsman that makes what they call a gourmet cube that's a inch or so in diameter. Steaks look great.

@GregW "Scotsman" CU50PA-1A. But, if I were going w/ Scotsman I'd go with the NO422A-1. Larger cubes go onto Amazon and get the bourbon size silicone form. Just my .02

Interesting choice. I was looking for the CU50PA gourmet big cube style. The NO422A is a nugget style.

I will take a look at the silicone forms.

Thanks

Lucky olives

great looking steaks. Killer marbling

I like olives, but remember, they take up valuable alcohol room

and i'll be honest: i never see marbling in filets, let alone like that. Even choice rately have marbling. Choice filets just tend to be bigger, whole (not cut up and slashed all to hell). 

Great stuff and pics too

Score!

I am... Still dealing with some fallout and leftover insurance ****; but I'm basically back to normal, whatever that is... Follow up appointments soon for lingering issues. Thanks for asking.

Funny you say that... The cubes are from a bag of ice from a local beer distributor. Got sick of using ice trays a few years ago so I buy it by the bag now. Knocking on wood... Our original fridge and freezer is still working fine, been 16 years. Never had an ice maker, but when the time comes, the next one will be loaded.

Regarding big ice cubes... Check this out.  A little on the Sta War nerdy side of things but these are pretty cool..

Thank you everyone... Got to the point that I figured how many times can you see me putting steaks on the coals LOL

these were so well marbled, I couldn't help myself, had to share them. Cooked them at reg grate height and just flipping and turning as needed. 

They turned out to be the most tender and flavorful filets I've ever had...

Thank you... 

Came down with endocarditis just after Labor Day, still dealing with the effects and possible long term damages. 

Told the wife to never doubt my ability to get back up off the mat... At least it sounds good to her and my daughter.
