Pittsburgh Rare Steak - Black & Blue


According to local Pittsburgh lore, Pittsburgh steelworkers would often
bring hunks of meat for lunch, rather than sandwiches. When lunchtime came,
they would slap the piece of steak against a slab of hot metal in the mill
to sear a blackened exterior around a red, rare core - a cooking style now
known as "Pittsburgh Rare." Even the area bars got into the act, serving up
Pittsburgh Rare steak, followed by a "boiler maker," or shot of whiskey and
a bottle of beer.
