It that a more Christlike statement than calling a person's opinions "absurd"?Sudsy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 11:40 amCurious - does anyone here put ketchup on their steak ?

We were poor, too. We did have steak once in a while, but it was rare.

Re: Tell us how you like your steak!
Ketchup? Eeesh. That is for hiding flavor, not enhancing it.
When we do steak it is usually associated with the South American side of my family (my wife's side) and therefore always served with Argentinian Chimichurri or the Chilean version called pebre. Which is a vinegar-based fresh salsa made from some combination of parsley, cilantro, peppers, tomato, garlic, and onions. When we go back to visit there is always at least one family dinner involving enormous unfamiliar cuts of meat on outdoor charcoal gills. They tend to do steak differently than here. They grill big cuts like whole tenderloins then carve off serving size portions to serve. Like we do with prime rib.
Like Ohio Jones, my own family was too poor (or perhaps too frugal) to eat steak growing up. The closest we ever got to steak as a child was fried liver or hamburger-based casseroles. Or maybe the very rare Sunday roast. So our family's steak eating traditions come entirely from my wife's side.

Does "very rare" come between rare and medium-rare, or between raw and rare?Ken wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 1:28 pm Like Ohio Jones, my own family was too poor (or perhaps too frugal) to eat steak growing up.

Re: Tell us how you like your steak!
Exactly as rare as you would expect it to be when mom puts a roast in the oven with carrots and potatoes and pulls it out after church. I expect the rareness depends on how long the church services are in your particular denomination. A 4-hour old order Amish service would give you the least rare roast I suspect.ken_sylvania wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 1:55 pmDoes "very rare" come between rare and medium-rare, or between raw and rare?Ken wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 1:28 pm Like Ohio Jones, my own family was too poor (or perhaps too frugal) to eat steak growing up.

I would say it is not a serious derogatory statement as it is presented in jest accompanied by smilies.ken_sylvania wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 12:37 pmIt that a more Christlike statement than calling a person's opinions "absurd"?Sudsy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 11:40 amCurious - does anyone here put ketchup on their steak ?

Sorry, my bad. It just struck me that steak was often considered too expensive to have when I was a youth, all except hotdogs which some call 'tube steak'. I think I was in my twenties before I first barbecued a steak. I like mine medium with A1 sauce.

HP sauce on the side but not drowning the steer. Some steaks are delicious without sauce. Others need help. I am not sure why there would be a difference in flavor other than the diet of the steer.Sudsy wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 11:40 amCurious - does anyone here put ketchup on their steak ?

We don't buy steak for all three reasons, although I'll enjoy it if it's served.

Re: Tell us how you like your steak!
We never buy cut steaks. The prices are prohibitive. At my store, we do sell whole beef loins from time to time, which is the cheapest way to get steak by cutting up the loin yourself. Even those can be pricey, but for example, we typically sell ungraded strip loins for around 4.49 per pound, which isn't that much more than ground beef. A whole loin can weigh from 10-15 pounds. So if we have one of those that loses its vacuum seal or can't be sold for some reason, we will cut one of them up for steaks. Ungraded ribeye loins can run $7 or $8/lb. and whole loins can cost up to $125. USDA choice and prime loins are far higher. It's amazing what the raw product costs even for stores, which typically run fresh meat on tight margins and have some loss.JimFoxvog wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2024 8:13 amWe don't buy steak for all three reasons, although I'll enjoy it if it's served.
