I simmer half the tortillas and keep half crunchy. I also add an egg on top and avocado. The radish is great. |

I don't want to start a new thread, so I'll put this here.
A HS friend of mine has been in the food business for years. He's been a chef, food broker, fish monger, etc. He knows the food/restaurant industry inside and out. I read an article this morning about the big boys setting up small "mom and pop" restaurants around the country to take advantage of the farm to table concept. He said it's absolutely true and has been going on for a while. So, the next time you find that awesome little spot that has great food... it might be from the minds of McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc. That's crazy! |
I got the stuff on the left the other day (this isn't my picture) because it looked good but not sure what to cook with it? Wanted to try something new. Thoughts?

I learned to cut meat from an old small grocery store owner back in the 70's and whenever a customer asked his advice for selecting steak his answer was always ribeye.
|
That chuck eye was one of the better I've made. Seared on medium high for 2 minutes per side, then stuck in the preheated oven with a thin slather of steak sauce on top... the sauce thickened and intensified, got that semi-sticky glaze that's so tasty.

Perhaps I just don't know how to make a steak and I'm messing up the ribeye that I'm making at the same time. Now, what I will say you can get easily when buying a ribeye that you'll be hard-pressed to get with a chuckeye, if getting the butcher to cut you a 2.25-2.5 inch thick cut. Given that the "chuckeye" is supposedly the first two-three inches of the chuck section, or the 2-3 inches between the "rib" and "chuck" sections, that might not be something they can easily do. I will say this, the chuckeye is 120000x better then the rest of the half of the rib/strip section that's not on the Delmonico side of that section. So it's OK to argue ribeye v. chuckeye, but anybody suggesting that that other half is a total waste of money at that price is, well, crazy. |
Quote:
He say me go through the 3-hour process of making 2.25" ribeyes and ~2" chuckeyes, and didn't get them all the way "cooked", and he all but called me a metro-sexual! Odd, later he thought my metro-sexual self had just made the best steak he had ever eaten. |
Quote:
The texture of the eye (not the cap) is entirely different, and that largely AFAIK is due to how the muscles piece together. If the people you're "testing" can't tell the difference, though, they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Or maybe what you get that's called a chuck eye is different than what I get that's called chuck eye, that's entirely possible, too. |

What you're saying is "ignorance is bliss." And while that may be true, I'd rather know better. |

Ouch, I told them they just told-off the chef of the meat, so they SHOULD worry about all the other things my old ass has learned like infusing antifreeze, poison, OR SPIT, into THEIR steak. |

Nice day for some crock-pot cooking. Got a jumbo batch of chili going that ought to feed me for days. The gas will be glorious as well!

Ribeye is my favorite as well. I can usually find it for $5.99/lb every few months here. I'll buy quite a bit and freeze it. It still cooks up fine once defrosted and nothing beats a ribeye.

If you ever go to Pismo Beach, stop by McLintocks and get the Kansas City. It's definitely a top 3 steak I've EVER ate. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...d7a76b97d7.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...8677f4be04.jpg Not sure who the douche is pic is from YELP, but that's the steak. |

There is exactly zero chance of me choosing a strip over a ribeye, all other things being equal. |

Best steak I have ever had was at the Hyde Park in Pittsburgh PA. This pic was taken by me. It was my dads 50th birthday, so we went all out to the best steakhouse they had to offer. It cost me $76.99. 50 day aged steak http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...72e34f17a3.jpg http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...deb1654e4b.jpg |

If you take a short loin and completely cut it into steaks eventually you run out of tenderloin and you have no choice but to leave it as a T-bone or bone it out into a NY strip.

I was just being a dick. :D Seriously, in the bunch of brothers giving each other shit way. I didn't know you didn't know the t-bone was mostly strip. |

Seriously, it's all good, and these threads have helped me a LOT. If not directly, it's caused me to dig into things I never knew or questioned. What you and FMB, and so many have taught me (and all of us prolly) about cooking/grilling/smoking is amazing and has indeed improved the world. I'd buy you all a coke (and this lady to do with what you will)... http://blog.bt-store.com/wp-content/...etary-slut.jpg |

I only do if I go to a high end steak house. Otherwise, I can cook a better steak at home. |

I know, I know, I'm going to hell.... But, like any woman will claim, I DO work 14-hours days and M-F I'm usually not thrilled about cooking, don't want the typical slop-in-a-skillet that would result by not giving somebody else a chance, so I don't order a lot of steaks, but it doesn't take R-C to make me order a steak. Like I said, I'm storing-up on snow because I'm going to hell... |
I'm having fried chicken and I'll take her for dessert. ^^^^^
