Those in NYC (Roma), please go to Florence Meat on Jones St. for one of the best butchers here and at prices that are just awesome.


For the big hitters like Coho, order from Brian Flannery, he just opened a website and sells what is considered by many to be the best beef in the good ole USA.


Yes sir, Benny knows his meat!

I don't subscribe to this notion that sauce is only necessary/acceptable for bad meat.

When I think of Ed eating, two images immediately come to mind. The first is him eating spaghetti (eww. i know), and the second is him gnawing at a slab of meat without utensils like some kind of early primate.

Awesome thread again manton. Btw, what ever made you try mixing chicken stock with brandy to replace beef stock?

Btw, when I run out of real stock and glace, I've found unconcentrated liquid stock with low sodium content that is decent. It goes fast but it's a big step up from using the concentrated stuff and is ok in a pinch.

A. It's "gnawing"
B. While I am a meat and potatoes man, I can cook with the best of them and have invested a lot of time and resources on learning to cook.
C. I am not a sauce person and have never tasted a beef dish that I thought was improved by sauce.

Some premium Australian beef. Ate these ribeye steaks last week. They look quite glossy because they have been preseasoned and some liquid is being drawn out. I normally dry them with paper towels afterwards (because I am extremely generous with the salt), and then brush them with oil before grilling them. I always pepper after cooking as I find that pepper burns easily and takes on a bitter note.

Will give the pan-searing / roasting a shot next time for comparison.

Also, the aged beef I can get locally now is Prime; the Whole Foods stuff was only Choice. The highest grade of Choice, but still ...


where is this local market with aged beef?

Sauces are so good. I have an entire book just on sauces. It's not necessarily a case of being improved. Sometimes it's just different, and different can be good. Then again, I like my girly cuts, or whatever it was you called them when I said i enjoyed filet mignon.

I wouldn't expect anyone that was irish to know about good food. Drink? Yes. Food? no.
