Dinner Diary.org » Steak
From a very nicely categorized (and photographed!!) home food blog of the British or Canadian variety. Very good work, and plenty of cookery inspiration of the non-steak variety as well.

Lifehacker - Nine Affordable Steaks and How to Grill Them Anywhere - Grilling
Lifehacker - Nine Affordable Steaks and How to Grill Them Anywhere - Grilling
So, in the spirit of hasty reblogging a la Lifehacker, I’m just going to paste a bunch of pull quotes!
need to bone up on cuts that can impress a crowd
Affordable cuts of beef tend to fall into three groups: hanger and flatiron steaks, long prized by chefs; flank, flap, tri-tip and skirt steaks, which used to be even cheaper when they were less popular; and gems such as chuck eye, chuck shoulder and top sirloin steaks, which are, for the moment, the least expensive of the lot
food scientists have begun to question not only whether marinades tenderize meat
When the meat goes straight from the fridge to the grill, it takes longer for its center to reach medium-rare or medium, during which time the outside starts to char and the interior can go gray.
then grease them, using an oiled wad of paper towels
Let the meat rest
After the gap, recipes!

the longbored surfer - Recipe Search - steak
The Longbored Surfer had collected and posted many many Cooks ILLustrated recipes. I like that! It’s a great resource for finding more great ways to prepare and enjoy Steaks!
Btu then he was asked to take them down by Cook’s Illustrated.
You can still find steak on Cook’s Illustrated, but it seems to be the recipes are contained behind a paid login which is bogus.

Very thorough:
How to Broil Steak - wikiHow
Many people choose to grill steaks outside during the summer rather than broil them, because broiling can make your home very hot.

Ribeye, The Mea[t] of Love
The Pioneer Woman Cooks! » The Meal of Love, Part III: Pan-Fried Ribeye Steak
This is an update. I’d said in the earlier thing from Pioneer Woman Cooks that we’d had here on here before. I cannot even begin to verify that, so I’m posting her OTHER hellafanastic story (it’s a three parter actually, beginning here but that’s not about steak). This one is called the meal of love, but I am calling my entry the MEAT of love. It was a Valentine’s day story, and I’m being crass about it in retrospect, because you know ….
No really. I had a great Valentine’s day. No ribeye though. But it was great.
Anyway, here’s why we love Pioneer Woman Cooks, because of her adorable writing:
Mmmmm. Do you realize how much your sweetie (or friend or Orkin Man or aunt or dad) is going to LOVE you after you place this deliciousness in front of them?

I think we’ve had this wonderful and thorough lady on here before. It’d be awesome if that were more thoroughly true too, like if she’d been ON the SteakFeed, as a guest, you know?
Anyway, the writing is very thorough: you can learn ALL there is to know about roasting a tenderloin (which IS steak when you slice it!) The photography is GRAPHIC and extensive, WOW! And the food, is the kind of food that made America great. Big sky food! I love it.

Brief Items I’ve Found Recently (May 07)
Items from various places [old but interesting]:
- What steakhouses reveal about the weakness of the U.S. economy - Slate Magazine
- craftsteak: simplicity « just hungry.
- Recipes : Gaucho Rib-Eye Steaks : Food Network
- cupcake club: Where’s the beef? ( about a band called Palace Family Steakhouse )
Betty Rocker: Pan Sauces
Betty Rocker is an awesome, totally veteran blog all about food. This great writer has been doing the food blog thing maybe longer than there even has been a food-blog thing. She rocks, and I love her angle on things. Fresh, easy, and a little bit punk rock. Kind of like the Jamie Oliver of food blogging.
Pan Sauces, is a post she wrote back in May of 07, that just totally nails how we can be very good cooks in our kitchens with a few very simple principles, like turning the stuff left in your sautee pan ( “fond”, my sister calls it ) into the best, most natural and tasty-licious sauce.
Here she does it for “a hanger steak with the most basic of all pan sauces — just a little butter, shallot, and red wine.” The only thing we could add is our confidence in the kitchen!
