How Do You Like Your Steak?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

No more steak (beef) for me. It causes joint inflammation and doesn't agree with wife's poly-arthritis. It missed it at first but now I'm fine with not eating it. We had been reducing portions as we grew older. Red meat is not very good for your health anyway.

I don't have the same issues you do, but for the past 10 years or so, I definitely notice when I've had a significant amount of steak later on in the evening. (Burgers, interestingly, don't have the same effect, maybe because the fibers are more broken down.)

Yeah, I'm not supposed to eat much red meat either, but for a different reason (cholesterol). I allow myself one serving a week, but usually I'm content to go without.

I know there are cases where a doctor will recommend eating red meat two or three times a week (ask my sister, who developed anemia when she was pregnant), but my body doesn't handle it very well.

I'll have smoke meat on rye bread sandwich with fries once in a while, but I eat it for lunch and eat a light dinner. My wife eats her poutine with squeaky cheese.

Its a birthday type thing for me.

And I dont like steak that much anyway. Its a peppercorn sauce delivery device.

One of my coworkers is going elk hunting in Wyoming this weekend, and he's promised me a couple of steaks if he bags one.

See, that makes sense to me. Insisting on "pink or no pink" as the only options? Not so much.

I blame Pulp Fiction.

Ya. We didn't eat it much, but this thread makes want to smoke one, then sear it. Place it on butter and garlic to rest, then slice it over that and toss it. Plenty of salt.....
