Butter needs to be very cold. Cut into small pieces and chill about 3/4 while freezing the rest. Chill flour, use ice water. I never have greasy pie crust.

 

Rib eye is the second best steak. The New York is the king of steaks.
Salting with kosher salt half an hour or more before cooking is incredibly delicious. I've learned to use a lot of salt. It makes the exterior delicious with a fantastic crush. Yeah, steaks must be grilled, I think it's a federal law.

 

Someday soo, I'll be trying my first tomahawk. Yes, salting beforehand is nice. NOTHING but kosher salt for sure.

 

Try crushing a garlic clove, mix with a tablespoon olive oil, and rub on steak about an hour before grilling. Then after it's done squeeze on a bit of lemon.

 

Here ya go, @EL PRESIDENTE. Nearly 20% off!

 

I just purchased one of these. It works great!

 

This is some of the best rub I've ever made. Makes a lot, so certainly can be scaled down to suit.

1/2 Cup paprika (split 50/50 with smoked paprika for a little more smoked pep)

3 Tbs. cayenne pepper (or less to suit)

5 Tbs. freshly ground black pepper

6 Tbs. garlic powder (or granules)

3 Tbs. onion powder (or granules)

6 Tbs. kosher salt

2 1/2 Tbs. dried oregano

2 1/2 Tbs. dried thyme

 

Flat side of a knife crushes effectively.

I use olive oil for the flavor and to avoid meat/ dairy mixing.

 

Indeed. I usually use it when crushing a number of cloves at once. It's a one-step deal. No smashing, then chopping. At any rate, it was just a thought as I had recently purchased one.

 

I've never tomahawked a steak. Always seemed like a waste of time unless you need a handle when cooking or when gnawing on the bone.

 

Interesting, considering it all comes from the same animal.

 

I had some great grilled chicken that used nothing but onion salt and garlic powder. i think a little cayenne pepper might have made it even better.

 

I'm a purist when it comes to a steak. I just want the kosher salt.
I figure if you want sauces or additional spices on your steak you need to buy a better steak.

 

Pink Himalayan salt coat and let the steak get to room temp. Maybe dab a little Worcestershire on there.

People I cook for say I could run a clinic on grilling steak

 

I only buy things on discount for 30% +

 

All that money people she'll out for baby greens? I thinned the winter lettuce, kale, bok choy and arugula and got enough baby greens for a salad.

 

Crap! Shell out. What is this with S2 edits that turn sentence to nonsense?

 

why ruin it with salt? lol
Salt is bad for ya Lanny! Unless you're an athlete.

 

Thinking of buying one of these, I love this kind of ice so much and I think it'll be a game changer at home:
