Since cooking for myself only, I've gotten to where I do steaks in a cast iron skillet, throw some Kerry butter in at a good temp, a min before I put steak in turn temp down to medium and put steak on, seats one side well and let that sit for 2min and flip. Couple more min on each side again and it's a great med rare

leftover tuna, and i really didn't want tuna, so I sauteed it in chunks with bacon, shrooms, onions and garlic. topped with olive oil, tomatoes and basil and parmesan. BACON makes EVERYTHING better

A chef friend of mine told me about using the kosher salt. Supposed to bleed the steak just a little and create a nice crust when searing. At least that's the philosophy. Lol

Hey Charlie since we were talking recipes, try this one out. It's fantastic and this recipe is pretty close to how I make mine. I use chicken wings instead or gator but this recipe should get you really close.

Before the roux and water. Don't forget the sugar to mellow the roux after.

I forgot to eat dinner tonight; now I'm hungry for steak. I like mine RARE, like a real bad sunburn. And I like Worcestershire sauce on it-- just my personal preference.

The thing that puzzles me about Texans is they never seem to eat on real plates with real utensils.

Food tastes like crap on paper/plastic. And watchyou goona do with that plastic fork??

You don't need a spork. That's what Texas toast is for.
