steak!

I don't eat steak very often, but I was in Sam's club and they had some
ribeyes on sale. I fired up the charcoal grill this afternoon and seared
them Pittsburgh style* to med-rare. I gotta tell you steak is so damn good!
I wish it was cheaper, but I find that the junk I see on sale in some
supermarkets is pretty bad. These cuts look very close to Prime. Nice
marble.

I just had to share my steak experience with someone!

Ah! You have to go a long way to beat a good ribeye! I do find that I can
get away with cheaper cuts if I take the trouble to marinade them for a day
or so prior to BBQ -- my marinade consists of soy sauce and lemon juice.
I wet the raw meat with it, then grind pepper on top, then sprinkle it
with garlic powder. I then pierce the steak all over with a couple of
forks, and do both sides. I then wrap the steaks in foil and turn a few
times over the next say or so until the BBQ. They come out very
tender.

A Pittsburgh steak is burnt on the outside and raw in the middle. Iron City
Beer.... lol That is all I need to have. It has been 9 days I think since
I had a beer. I may have one or two this weekend if I am 185 or less, but I
am only allowed one day of that and it is back on the plan. I feel like I
am dropping weight pretty fast and one day a week won't be a big deal. I
have done that before.

Oh, I see. As for beer, I try to minimize the times I drink. I do think
that drinking sometimes is beneficial -- it can get me to relax (assuming
I don't drink too much). But, it also causes me to overeat, so I try to
not drink that often.

I'd be careful about marinating anything in aluminum foil. You may
cause some aluminum to leach into the food.

I marinate mine in a pyrex or glass baking dish or bowl.

Thank you for the advise. I try not to use disposable stuff like foil if
can be helped.
