A steak broiled in the oven is the very first way I ever had steak because that’s how my mom cooked them. Takes about 20 minutes and what it lacks in crust gets made up for in juiciness and the way the fat on the outside of the steak renders to crackling crisp. Every now and then, I get a hankering for steak this way.

Remember the Kerrygold butter they added canola to make it more spreadable? It’s gone from US shelves and Kerrygold USA website. Good riddance! They currently have three spreadable versions available: Kerrygold with avocado oil Kerrygold wth olive oil Kerrygold “Naturally softer” The Naturally Softer looks kind of suspect to me. It’s made with pasteurized cream and salt which are the same ingredients in its regular butter. But somehow they’ve managed to make those same two ingredients behave differently in the spreadable version. 🤔

Sliders topped with melted cheese, runny eggs and crispy bacon. People ask how I can eat this way every day. I look at this plate and wonder how they can’t.

The Lancaster cast iron skillet is the best thing to ever come out of a pizza box. It is the Rolls Royce of American cast iron. Hand crafted and polished, this skillet is as smooth as a baby's bottom and 15% lighter than the pebbly surfaced and cumbersome Lodge. This polished style of lightweight cast iron was popularized by a company named Griswold. Griswolds graced America's kitchens from 1865 until the 1950s but the non-stick cookware revolution and management problems led to Griswold's demise. Since 2018, Lancaster Cast Iron has brought back practicality, elegance and a product that is guaranteed to last a lifetime. You can feel the love and skill in every detail. It is special. And before you say, but Le Creuset. This skillet is lighter and local. I can’t wait to fire this thing up and see how she sizzles. To be continued...

Try this with a Lodge on the first day you cook with it. This is using just butter. The polished surface reminds me a lot of carbon steel.

This 2.5-year-old was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), High Histamine Intolerance, Anaphylaxis and serve food allergies at 16 months. But he healed his gut with the GAPS diet which is pretty much a low carb diet, plus fruit, honey and nuts. Check out on IG if you want to know more.

If you have never tried Chilean Seabass aka Patagonian Toothfish, you have yet to meet your favorite fish. It's not fishy, it's flaky and naturally buttery. It’s better than steak. Make trying it happen and thank me.

Any historian can tell you that animal-based foods have always been reserved for warriors and the rich, especially in times of crisis. In every major war of the 20th century, civilians were forced to ration meat and eggs to feed the armies. And one of the greatest armies Earth has ever seen, the Mongols, nearly conquered all of Eurasia on a diet of jerky, fermented dairy, and horse blood. Source: foodlies (IG)

Ever cook bacon and eggs in a muffin pan? Cold or hot, these are delicious. Cook your bacon alone for 12-15 minutes at 400. Then gently add the eggs and go 10 more minutes.

I’m upset. Because it took me 57 years to discover that homemade sour cream is incredible. You must try this! Not only was it easy to make, I got to choose the cream that went into it (A2). Simply mix 1 tbs white vinegar with 1 cup heavy cream, stir, cover with cheesecloth and refrigerate for 12-24 hours. The result has the subtle sweetness that you taste in cream and it’s the smoothest thing ever. I had to stop myself from eating it right off the spoon. I had planned to let it sit at room temp for 4 hours to accelerate the thickening and then refrigerate but I forgot and left it out (69°) for 14 hours but it turned out perfect! You can make your sour cream probiotic by adding some live yogurt or kefir to cream instead of vinegar and intentionally leave it at room temp until thickened as desired. That’s a future project for me.

You speed to work every day but you’re afraid of a burger with pink in it? You dislike steak without pink but you cook your chopped steak well done? All you people who have never eaten a medium burger don’t know what you’re missing. Now, I know the health department warns us to cook ground meat thoroughly but I’m 500 or so medium burgers deep into this life and not one has made me ill. Your mileage may vary.

After 38 years, I’ve officially broken up with Mr. Coffee. French pressed coffee is 4x better tasting and no more running hot water through plastic hosing. Now I need to figure the best way to clean out the grinds.

The great paper shift: The more meat you eat, the less toilet paper you use and the more paper towels you use. The good news is that paper towels cost 48% less than toilet paper, per gram.

This is why I don't like to eat out... My last day of vacation so I treated myself to trying to new Bombing Pot Korean BBQ place at the Waterfront. It's a $35 buffet that serves Korean BBQ, house made sushi, build your own soup bowl and they have a buffet bar. It got off to a bad start when I saw my server spray my hot plate grill that I cook on at m table with a canola type spray. I immediately wiped it all off with a napkin after she left. 😂 You order portions from an IPad menu and the bring them to your table… small portions but as many as you like. I ordered ribeye, spicy Korean BBQ, brisket and pork belly for the table grill and the BBQ was the only thing I liked. The other items were bland and unseasoned and they didn't even have salt. I had a little sushi and to be honest, the sushi in the grocery store where I work is much better. The buffet bar had overly sweet kimchi, chicken wings, seafood salad, dim sum and a crab leg type boil with shrimp, mussels, corn and crawfish. There were some other things not really worth mentioning and was the tiniest buffet table I've ever seen. There were no tools to help extricate the crab leg meat and they were terribly overcooked and unappealing. The fact that shrimp wasn't even deveined was the clincher for me. I won't be back.

Dry brining is a very simple process that's similar to dry aging but takes way less time and is a lot less complicated. It's basically how you make a $20 steak hit like a $50 dollar steakhouse steak. The process is simple: Dry your steak off with a towel and apply an even coat of your favorite salt. Kosher, table grind and flaky salt all work. Just don't go crazy because there is such a thing as too much salt. Salt a reasonable amount without leaving bare spots on the steak. Place the steak on a rack with grate and leave it in your fridge for 12 to 36 hours, uncovered. You can go longer or less. That's just the happy zone that works best for my tastes. What does this do? At first, it draws moisture from the steak. That moisture combines with the salt and forms a brine on the surface that slowly reabsorbs into the meat. This is a good thing because you are seasoning the inside of the meat, not just the outside. This improves flavor, juiciness and adds a little bit of tenderness but best of all, you get the most amazing pan sears because moisture is the enemy of a good crust. In the video, the steak that was salted just before cooking was pretty one dimensional and boring. The 12-hour and 24-hour steaks were pretty similar in crust and flavor. Both were miles ahead of the salt and cook steak. To be fair, these steaks were pretty thin. I think the difference between a fat ribeye dry brined for 12 hours vs a 24 hour ribeye would be much more noticeable. Anyway, once you try this, you'll be hooked if you did it right!
