Steak Kabobs

Steak Kabobs

I love kabobs, but I always seem to pick the wrong cut of meat to make them.  Either the steak is too tough or is cooks too fast.  However, I have figured it out.  I used top sirloin last night and the kabobs came out perfectly.  By the time that the veggies were cooked, the [...]

Marinated and Broiled Flat Iron Steak

Marinated and Broiled Flat Iron Steaks

I am a huge fan of Flat Iron Steaks.  What is a flat iron steak anyway?  A flat iron steak is a relatively new cut of steak from the shoulder of a cow. It was discovered like all good discoveries, by researchers studying undervalued cuts of beef.  Yep, penny pushers trying to find a way [...]

NY Strip Steaks with Bourbon Steak Sauce

NY strips with bourbon steak sauce

I purchased a ton of Kingsford Charcoal as fuel for cooking during the Hurricane.  I ended up not needing it all, so I decided to start grilling more with the charcoal grill.  Although it may take a tad bit longer to set up, using a charcoal grill gives you a ton of flavor.  It is [...]

Grilled Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

Grilled Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce

I just went and got the gas in the grill refilled and I was ready to grill out.  I just didn’t know what to grill.  I asked Dana and within a second she said skirt steak with chimichurri sauce.  It took little to no effort on her part to come up with this.  I had [...]

When you have a good steak, all you really need is salt and pepper. However, we can’t always have amazing steak lying around. So sometimes you need to season your steak to improve on its natural flavor. So I have been fiddling around with different seasonings and have found a great combinations of spices. The [...]

Stuffed Flank Steak

I am sorry that I was unable to post this weekend.  I was in New York watching the Big East Tournament.  The weather was horrible, but the games were amazing.  Marquette made it to the semi-finals and the final game between Georgetown and West Virginia went all the way to the wire.  It was a [...]

Grilled Peppercorn Steak

The other day we had a break in the weather here in DC.  It was 60 out in the middle of December.  So I decided that I had to grill.  Then I went to the supermarket and they had NY Strips for $5/lb.  How could I turn that down.  Finally I decided that I wanted [...]

Blue Cheese Filets

Yesterday I purchased a couple of filets and I really wanted to grill them.  However mother nature said no, and dropped about an inch of rain on us.  So I decided it was time to break out the broiler.  Besides toasting bread, I have never used my broiler.  Cooking a steak in the broiler is [...]

CheeseSteaks

I love cheesesteaks but I can never find a butcher to cut the meat for me.  So yesterday I was on a mission to find a butcher to cut the meat for me.  I went to 5 grocery stores and then finally stumbled into a Giant with a meat counter and a bored looking butcher.  [...]

Steak Fajitas

I was craving steak the other day so I went to the store to see what was on sale.  Flank steaks were on sale so I picked one up.  When I see flank steak I think of one thing, Fajitas.  So I picked up some peppers and an onion and it was on. The marinated [...]

Make a $5 Steak taste like $50

I went to the store the other day and they had an amazing sale on not so quality cuts of meat.  Granted the steak that I picked up was a rib-eye, it didn’t have marbling and it was cut quite thin.  However, I figured that it would be a good time to discuss how to [...]
