Steaks is High

Porterhouse with Blue Cheese Butter

I like cheap meat. Not cheap as in low quality, but I tend to gravitate towards the more inexpensive cuts of beef. I'm pro griller at skirt, flank, and hanger steaks, all on the cheaper side of spectrum, but still delivering a deep, beefy flavor. So when I decided to go for a porterhouse one night, I was steeping into almost uncharted steak territory, feeling both uncomfortable with the price I paid for a steak and my ability to grill such an expense perfectly.

Meat Tips: A Meat for Every Kabob

Carne-val

A kabob is only as good as the meat you put into it, and I've found kabobs are pretty particular with the meats they like. So I have another addition of Meat Tips, and a continuation of the kabob craziness, to help make sure you're buying the right meat to ensure skewer success.

Kabob Crazy! Asian Beef Skewers

Asian Beef Skewers

Have I mentioned before how much I love kabobs? If I haven't, let me take a second to profess the deepest affection that I have for these sticks of meat. Kabobs done right are just about everything I want out of a grilled food: they're loaded with flavor; they grill fast; they maximize the surface area of the food, which creates more opportunity for wonderful caramelization over the high heat; and they seem to get everyone crowded around the grill, cooking their own food like nothing else can. I realized for all the kabobs I've made, I have not done them justice on the blog, so we're about to go all kabob crazy up in here, coming at you with one kabob recipe after another. First up is an Asian beef skewer, which might not actually be a true kabob, but it's been a mainstay in my repertoire year after year, continually being a Meatwaver favorite, so that makes it number one on my list to share out to the masses.

Meat, Myself, and I

Burgers are so simple, yet took me so many years to figure out.

So I bring you another addition of Meat Tips in order to aid in making good meat decisions to set us all on the road to burger success.

National Meatloaf Appreciation Day or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Loaf

Meatloaf

It was bound to come to this. The warm summer days have finally relinquished their hold and we're left with a cooling trend that finds me more indoors than out. That means less grilling, less barbecue, but not less meat. As we shift gears from summer to fall eats, there aren't many other dishes I can think of that can signal the seasonal change more than meatloaf. Considering this, I think back to a day when, for reasons beyond my comprehension, I did not like meatloaf. I was, and at times still tend to be, a finicky eater, and meatloaf was just one of those absurd food idiosyncrasies I clung onto until sometime after college. As I continue to conquer my aversions one at a time (I'm currently on mushrooms), meatloaf proudly stands not only as an early testament to my personal quest as an eater, but also as a food that defines a welcomed time of change.
