Steak, It’s What’s For Dinner

Being Friday and over 100 degrees each day this week, with no air conditioning on the main floor of our house, firing up the grill (outside) is very much preferable to cooking anything more than toast in the house.

We buy our beef from a local farmer (when we don’t slaughter one of our own), so combining that with the venison, rabbit, pork and chicken, there is always an abundance of something to grill in the freezer.

Mrs. DuToit has posted the defining work on how to choose, prepare and eat a fine piece steak.

Steak preferences are going to vary based on steak you had as a child.  What I will attempt to explain is how to make a good steak, starting with a great piece of meat.

This does not apply to cheaper cuts of steak.  And it is ONLY cheaper cuts that you put sauces on, such as hot sauce, A-1, etc.

It is the greatest of insults to the chef to add sauces to the food you are served, such as being served a fine steak and pouring Tabasco on it.  You might as well pee on the table.  It is THAT much of an insult.  If you weren’t taught that at home, now you know.

In addition, you never even ask for the salt to passed to you (or any other condiment on the table, unless it has been passed once, and you are on seconds).  The host/hostess will pass the salt or place salt cellars close to each person.  If, however, the salt is not in front of you (or not on the table), you do NOT ask for it.  Just to close that loop, you also don’t salt your food without tasting it first (exceptions are things like baked potatoes, corn on the cob, etc., that are condiment whores). 

On to steak…

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
