I don’t like steak, never have — which is odd for somebody who grew up on a working ranch.
(at this point, it’s a by-line)
I still eat it now and then to mix things up. I got this non-freakly-raised steak and seasoned it up, leaving it sit overnight.
- As always, I’m guessing about measurements as I ‘granny-cook’
Lots-a-Spicy Steak Salad
- 1/4C lime juice
- freshly-cracked black pepper, lots
- orange peel, enough to minimally season
- ground cinnamon, enough that you no longer see steak or previous spices
- cumin, to taste
- no salt
I grilled this (pre-heated grill) doing the one way, then the other for cross-hatch (dunno what that’s called — I’m not gourmet here) then finished it in the oven. Personally, I prefer rare to medium rare but I made this well-done as I made them as leftovers.
I cooked it this morning, hoping for a freshest lunch but forgot it! Luckily, I couldn’t finish my breakfast (ahem, the same thing — I’m boring) and had a nibble for later.
As you can tell, I call anything drizzled, dumped or plopped on a bowl of mixed greens as ‘salad!’
Looks and smells good to me.
It smelled better than it tasted but again, I’m the only human who doesn’t like steak!
I’m sure it’s better than the stuff I was cooking up for the last month.
Cinnamon on steak?! Well, I never!
I kinda wanna try it, but I’m a little bit nervous. Hmmm…
When you say orange peel, are you talkin’ zest? I’ve never done any zesting. I think I should get a zester. Also, I like the word “ZEST!”
Zest and you can dry it to store! Use a potato peeler or even grater (be careful to barely get the peel, no pith). The cinnamon idea I got from a totally different recipe but it was like, ‘cinnamon on MEAT?’ I tried it on steak since I don’t like it anyway. I won’t do it again but I’ll try other meats!
I would eat steak all the time if i could.
Actually, that used to be true. We’ve cut so much meat out of our diets that when I have something rich like steak, I only want a little, or else it sends me for a loop too much.
I was vegetarian for almost 17 years. It was a tough transition back to meat a few years ago. I still hate steak!
Since I’ve learned so much about the foods that harm me (and are tough on most humans), I very rarely eat more than a couple T legumes. I relied on them my whole life but no longer. t-r-o-u-b-l-e! I miss the flavor, though. I also miss Krispy Kreme doughnuts but not enough to make myself sick for god-knows-how-long. I got cross-contaminated going on 2 weeks ago with a cup of COFFEE. I’m still sick, sick, sick. That wasn’t taking a BITE, just some microscopic speck. Boo!
