Flank Steak - simple but always good
Flank steak from Dexter steer. Another one of my favorites. Homemade rub (guajillo, smoked serrano, garlic, paprika, brown sugar, salt). Cooked over oak/mesquite wood fire on santa maria grill, maybe a little on the rare side. Nice smoky beef flavor. Wife was happy. Spinach sautéed with garlic... -
Ribeye Steaks / First Asparagus of the Year
Ribeye steaks, homegrown Dexter steer, seasoned with salt. First asparagus of the year. Only 4 spears, but they're starting to pop up all over.

Replacing CI with Carbon Steel
Replaced our old electric glasstop stove with a new GE-brand Cafe glasstop. Decided we should also replace out CI skillets with new carbon steel, which should not scratch the glasstop as readily. The CI skillets were my go-to pans, and they have a well seasoned interior. But the outside bottom...- edmonds

Flank Steak on the santa maria
I like to grill flank steak at medium-low heat, maybe 275-325. Dry brined overnight, then a beef rub (no salt) before cooking over red oak. Tender and juicy with good beefy flavor. Served with chimichurri, sweet peppers & onions, Caesar salad. -

Beef Bacon - first try
From our last processed Dexter steer, we got one side of beef navel cut into halves. The other side was cut into our usual short plate (dino) ribs. I really like the ribs but was willing to sacrifice some for a navel to make bacon with. Son #2 was visiting for the holidays so good time to give... -
Four Tales of Sirloin Tips (thin cut style)
The processor gave me sirloin tips cut thin (about 1/4") instead of the usual 3/4" steaks. No way I can get medium rare with this. But turns out I'm really liking it cut like this: versatile and very tender when cooked hot and fast. Four tales: (1) bulgogi, (2) beef satay, (3) spinach salad, (4)... -
Homegrown Beef - Dexter steer
Just got my latest Dexter steer back from the processor. Raised on pasture with occasional supplement of commercial feed. Ribeye steaks. How's that marbling look? I prefer a good crust instead of sear marks. And cooked enough to render some of that marbled fat, but still juicy and tender... -

Maui Gold - one way of helping
Buy Maui Gold pineapple. The plantation was not hit by the fire, but some of their workers were displaced. So help support Maui workers and have some fine eats at the same time. Their shipped pineapples may not be as good as the ones you get on the island, but they sure beat the store bought...- edmonds

Running low on my homegrown beef and saw a sign at Publix for "top sirloin cap steaks" at $8.50 / lb. None on the shelves so asked the butcher.
