The Second One - Steak


Well, tonight, it's lookin' a lot like ribeyes for dinner.  Nothin' better than Andy grilling ribeyes, having some grilled onions along with it, some sides.....and my favorite frosty beverage, a frozen margarita.

Gotta admit, for someone trying to lose some pounds, it's not the lowest calorie fare around.  But, I lost and kept off 30 pounds last year without completely giving these fine foods up.  May be part of why I successfully lost and kept off some weight.  Total deprivation doesn't work for me.

I've decided I'm truly a "meatatarian".  No, 'carnivore' is too formal.  I'm a meatatarian.  If I had to choose one food group to eat the rest of my life, it would be meat.  And if I had to choose from which critter, it would be cow slightly edging out pig.  They talk about chocolate and alcohol and other foods that give you a temporary "high".....ribeyes do it for me. 

Now, my ribeye passion is quite simple.  Need to be relatively thick, and have some Montreal Steak Seasoning on them for at least a few hours before cooking.  Bad Andy does the magic work on the charcoal grill, I don't know his secrets, and frankly don't care how he does it (as long as he stays alive TO do it!!), he just grills the ribeyes to perfection (medium well for me).  We bring them in, cover with foil and let it rest (well, after I've picked at it a little), then slice and eat.  I love to cook some onions with a little of the juice that runs out, preferably in a cast iron skillet, maybe even out on the grill for a bit.  Doesn't really matter what else we have with it, other than a perfected Cuervo Acres margarita.  It's the perfect "night in", and I mean perfect.

So, seasoning is on the steaks.........and CRAP! Just realized I don't have ice.....looks like it's a trip to Gilbert's, because when it's time for the blender to fire, I want no delays.  May your Saturday night shape up as well as many of mine have, and as well as I'm sure tonight will!!!
