        I know...

        We were out this AM, and she said, "I have a tasted for steak." So...

        Steak, baked spuds and steamed broccoli.

          Serve her some fucking corn flakes and save money on steaks.

            It’s a recipe with beef as the main ingredient but you don’t have to call it a steak.

            Education is extremely important.

              I made steaks tonight (thanks, Wild Fork!).

              For myself, it was a strip steak, sous vide to a temp of 115 degrees.

              For Mrs. George, I had a filet. I was a bit on the thick side, so I used a mallet to get it down to about ¾". I cooked hers in the oven, at 225 degrees to a temp of (gasp!) 140 degrees.

              Then, slathered in mayonnaise!

              I put hers in the skillet before mine, and I let it get really well-seared on one side. Then, I added mine.

              After getting a good sear on mine, I flipped them both and sprinkled blue cheese on mine. I let them go about 4 minutes per side.

              Mine was a bit more done than I'd like, but still very flavorful.

              Me: "So how's your steak?"

              Mrs. George; "It's OK."

              Me: "'OK?' Was it well-done enough?"

              Mrs. George; "Oh, yeah, it's well done enough, butI like my steak really crispy, crunchy, even."

              Me: (silent sigh)

              So, how do I satisfy her desire for crunchiness?

              The end piece you get on a nice prime rib, you might also find a little bit of crunch on some BBQ pulled pork or brisket. You can usually find some crunch on a baked chicken with the skin on. If you grill a burger, toast the bun to get a nice crunch, butter it before you toast it. Toast your hot dog bun and you'll never go back to the raw squishy bun.

              And she is exactly right about this.

                Bacon wrapped filet. Even cooked medium well it stays juicy and the bacon provides the crunch.

                  Y'know, you might take a different tack, kinda zen-like. Start talking about respect for the animals who sacrifice their lives to feed us and how it's disrespectful to overcook them.

                  It could happen.

                    I'm thinking I'm just going to broil it for her. She has no interest in "juicy" or "tender" (when it comes to steaks, that is).

                      Might just buy her really thin steaks that you can get a good crust on while not worrying about the middle. Maybe cut a 3/4" strip into two flat pieces, 3/8" each.
