Where's the "Beef"

FlaPoolman

With so many butchers close by I don't normally buy my steaks from the grocery store but when I saw this one I couldn't pass it up.



I may have even proposed to it



No front or end sear just grilled at 450 on the small with the gratemates



and pulled at 125,,,, this one was good

After the appetizer, what was for dinner?

Mike,, baked potato, leftover brownie and apple pie. Guess I'm just not into going green :laugh:

Pat, looks fantastic! I have a few butchers nearby, but they are small in quantity and high in quality.

Especially Petty's (maybe you heard of them) - serving beer (free) while I'm shopping.. :laugh:

FlaPoolman

yes we have 2 petty's close by along with 1/2 a dozen mom and pops. The original Petty's is here on babcock st. I'm guessing you shop the one in longwood near Orlando?

FlaPoolman

It was Thanks Molly

Pat, that is one nice lookin steak! Too bad we didn't get a photo of a slice......you must have been in quite a hurry to devour that cow. :laugh:

FlaPoolman

Yes it was just too good to pass on but I still prefer the mom and pop stores for most meats.

That's a great looking steak! I picked up a couple of filets at Fresh Market this weekend and plan to cook them tomorrow night - marinating in "Garlic Expressions". Should I stabilize at 450 degrees for the sear?

FlaPoolman

Rebecca,, once the knife hits the meat even the dogs leave the room for fear that I'll growl at them. Can you believe I had some good friends trying to call and bother me while I was eating? If they were not such good friends I might have put the dogs on them but I think I was very polite :laugh:

WessB

That's what I'm talkin about..I been havin porterhouse withdrawal...and you just sealed the deal...gonna cost me at the meat market..LOL..

FlaPoolman

elzbth, If you are going to sear get the temp close to 600-650. Do a quick search for TRex or for reverse sear xeRT. Another option is hot tubing. This one was big enough that I just did a straight grill and still had a little crust by the time it got to 125.

My goodness Pat, don't your friends have manners? You are the comsummate gentleman! :cheer: :laugh:

FlaPoolman

Now don't you go blaming that on me Wess :laugh: I was actually picking up toppings for pizza when it just jumped into the basket. HMMM,,, how big of a crust would you need for almost 2 pounds of steak?

FlaPoolman

Me?? Oh yes,,, I am,, at least I am when I don't have food in front of me :laugh: :laugh:

Jai-Bo

I'd say that's a big ole chunk of moooooooo right there!!! I just started going to Publix and am very impressed w/ their sale items and seafood/meat dept!

FlaPoolman

The only thing that would have been better was if they had them in must sell counter which is just wet aged.

Car Wash Mike

He actually wanted to know, when I had an "all u eat" one nite. Help me with a huge sammie noone can eat. I am making homemade Italian Sausages. U going to give a guy a break with a recipe?
