Hummm... cinnamon???

What's the purpose?

*edit* Ok, I added it in... well let you know in a few hours about the flavor. Sounds good though.

 

[H8R]

Hummm... cinnamon???

What's the purpose?

Just a little tiny bit, like an 1/8 tsp. or less.

Gives it that, "Wow this is awesome...what the hell is in there?" taste.


Lavender does the same thing in some meat dishes, used VERY sparingly.

I'm picturing a dirt floor kitchen with an old rusty fan barely working while N8 (in a dirty wifebeater) leans over a lobster pot full of potatoes stirring them with a broken canoe paddle while he drips sweat into them...

between this and the recent flurry of self-indulgent pictures, i think we have to stage a megalomaniac intervention post-haste.

I trusted... god knows why anyone would trust H8R, but I did...

Oh yeah!!! I'v got 7 steaks on the grill tonite... a bottle of Chimay, garlic smashed potatos with a little cream cheese mixed in

 

[sled_ed]

guys a backed patato,steak and a cold beer is probably the best mix anyone has or will ever think of, the only thing that could top that would be a beautiful girl fro after word or have the girl cook it for you !!

now what do yo guy have to say about that???

 

[narlus]

i'd rather cook the meat myself.

Do you ever drink wine with your steak?

 

[scurban]

I too was misguided, until I tried the GOODNESS

Werd, Tapatio is one of my favorites.

 

[sled_ed]

wine+steak i dont know about that????????

 

[narlus]

Do you ever drink wine with your steak?

note - a liquid which has cinnamon sticks and raisins and served at an elevated temperature does not constitute wine.

Is marinating steaks a southern thing?

 

[narlus]

Is marinating steaks a southern thing?

if it's brisket, flank steak or london broil, then marinate it. if it's sirloin, ribeye, filet, etc - S&P, slap 'er on the hot grill, ~4 min per side depending on thickness, let rest for 5 min, and serve.

 

[N8 v2.0]

Is marinating steaks a southern thing?

Nahh... it's just a fun variation.

 

[narlus]

Nahh... it's just a fun variation.

well if it's a cut of meat which doesn't need it, yr just messing w/ a good meal. what steaks are you marinating on a variation basis?

 

[SkaredShtles]

wine+steak i dont know about that????????

Whaddya mean you don't know about that?

 

[sled_ed]

i just think beer is the drink that you should have with steak!!!:

 

[Jabuttri]
