hup... fhew ohnly thogh, jus whait til i ohpen tha whine actually, I have a nice bottle of Syrah from a local vinyard (I live in Northern California)... I might just uncork that baby and have a glass or two with a New York strip steak bbq'd medium rare, with a baked potato, a tossed green salad with a lot of extra vegitables and bleu cheese dressing. Maybe fresh green beans or steamed zuchini squash. How's that sound? [edit] baked potato = jacket potato
Got to be bloody on the inside too. 4 minutes on one side, three on the next. (for a 1 1/2" to 2" thick cut.) ;>)
thats bloody raw, no thankyou!!! LOL, the trick is to get your fire really really really hot! Then you slap it on and the fire sears it and seals the juices and the heat inside. It will actually continue to cook for a bit after you take it off. On a thick cut 1 1/2" to 2", To cook it any longer than 9 minutes (5 on one side and 4 on the other) starts making the meat tough. This way it comes out tender with a warm center. BTW, take a pat of butter and rub it in just before you take it off the grill and add a little fresh ground pepppercorns, mmmmm....yummy! Around here all your better resturants won't guarantee the flavor or taste of your steak if you order it cooked more than medium rare. LOL, my wife is the same way as you, she likes 'em cooked done to the point of shoe leather and untill they curl up on the ends. It's all I can do to force myself to cook them that way, but hell, what can I do, she's the boss! LOL
Bison is good eats too, Buffalo for those not familiar, but the best red meat I've ever had is Elk - oh man, red and lean and tender. Even the parts typically used as stew meat is so good. You've never dseen redder meat. Elk steak medium rare with saute'd mushrooms, jacket potato and vegetable. or Elk stew meat, floured and browned in a hot skillet; then mix and cook slowly (crock pot) with potato, onion, celery, carrot, salt, pepper. Cook 8 - 12 hours, real slow. Make sure you are ready for either treat with fresh baked bread.
Actually I lived in Colorado for a while after graduating college(didn't have a job and it's a great place for ski bums,LOL) and you're right. Elk is as good a steak as you can get. Lean and not much fat, except for the marble fat which actually improves a steak, it's definitely one of the best meats I've ever eaten.
LOL, neph, what have you been up to on emule? Come on man, fess up! You can tell us, we're your friends! I demand to know how many people have you told that you put in for a cow elk tag? LOL LOL
