First Cookout
Like Dave, and maybe with a little guidance from Sam, I’m looking forward to getting to know steak better. For us, that meant picking up some ribeyes and tossing them on the grill for the season’s first cookout. I’ve been grill-deprived for the past few years, so I sat back and watched our friend S take charge. His steak philosophy was essentialist: buy the best cuts you can find (he found them at Van’s Fairway), and eat them rare. The results were persuasive.
I’m picking up a grill this weekend, so I can start working out my own steak philosophy. Pragmatic sirloin, corn-fed, gas grill, and a quick marinade? Or fundamentalist porterhouse, grass-fed, charcoal, with only a rub of salt and pepper? While I’m a pragmatist at most things, I think I may be a steak fundamentalist.

Hmmm, I was wondering. I had not seen it before
and wondered how I could have missed it.
Tonight you will get to experience more BB-Q.
(Texas style) Although I’m afraid it is only chicken.
I’m a beef fan personally… and am still looking forward to game meat that I enjoy. Curious what others think. Because I have not eaten much game.. Venison, elk, etc. I don’t know if I just don’t like it or if the meat has not been the best specimen.
