Winner, Winner....

 ....steak dinner.

I don’t do many food reviews; but here goes.

Doggo and I have been batching it whilst the missus is out of town.  Having consumed all of the recent leftovers, this evening I prepared an annual treat.

A small beef sirloin.  Precisely as I would a venison steak.

It was good; yet not extraordinary. Perhaps, as a wild game snob my tastes have evolved but it was chewier and less flavorful than my backyard whitetail.

I suspect I should’ve sprung for the scary-expensive beef tenderloin yet old habits are hard to break.

Nevertheless, dinner was delicious with a loaded baked spud, mushrooms and the sautéed garden asparagus sealing the deal. 

And because pupper performed a 30 minute down-stay while I dined she scored slice herself.

Pretty good chow if you can get it….

A Medium Rare Treat

We don't eat beef very often and when we do it's generally 1/3 pound ground chuck burgers from our local butcher (very yummy).   Nevertheless, sometime in the past several weeks I picked-up a package of steaks from said butcher and when it appeared we weren't going to eat them Immediately I put them in the kitchen freezer.  Strategically I knew they would remain in my grilling mindset because if I put them in one of the basement chest freezers they might disappear for years.

Anyway, in short order I thawed them, seasoned them and grilled them.  A reverse sear to be exact to a perfect medium rare.

Served them-up with a side salad and a big chunk of baked yam.

 They were very good.  I''ll do it again next year maybe.

This evening we're having a couple of The Team from the former Day Job over to review our stuff and I'm going to grill-up some venison loin along with a big salad and homemade french bread.

You are what you eat.
