I got some 20% hamburger the other day for $3.99/lb. It's grass-fed beef and cheaper than the grain-fed hamburger. It tasted kind of funny. My guess is it's because of the grass diet of the meat on the hoof. Looks like I'll have to do something to hide the taste. It's kind of disturbing.

Oh get over yourself . You're just not that great a cook from what I've
seen you post . Those steaks are going to be fork-tender when they come
off the grill because of marinating in wine . The potatoes are already
baking on the grill , steaks will go on soon . I'll be sauteing some
onions and mushrooms to go with - in real butter with just a dash of
garlic and some salt . I won't be thinking of you as I savor the
delightful flavors playing across my palate .

There's many ways to tenderize a steak. I've use a mirin mix in the
past to good effect.

The biggest dickhead posting here has just been removed in a

There are only about 4,900,000 Google hits for "marinating steaks in red wine"...

Not something I've tried, but thanks to your post, I am going to experiment with this soon...

hey....Greg...you want to try something ala steak with red wine,
try this recipe. It was from a "Great Chefs" show that I watched
about 20 years ago. It's a very good recipe to "risk your steak"
with.

Sounds scary with a steak but it's so good, especially that sauce
over a good steak. Do it.

Why not? I've heard plenty of people here say ribeye steaks are tender
yet bland. Red wine would fix the "bland" part.

No. A good ribeye is certainly not bland. Only if YOU steamed it
which you have claimed that you've done.

I've never said I steamed a ribeye steak. I've deglazed a screaming hot
cast iron pan with wine (it was a petit filet, BTW) and removed it from
the heat and covered it with a vented lid. That's not steaming.

Actually you DID claim to finish off ribeye steak with a lid
(steaming). You just said that a few weeks ago...need a quote?

Not only that, deglazing "a screaming hot cast iron pan with
wine" can also be a fail. Most likely that would ruin the
seasoning of the pan. Actually...screaming hot pan is good for
searing but not necessary for deglazing later. What the hell,
Jill? Better you stick to talking about what you know.

I don't need a quote. I haven't bought a ribeye steak in *years*.

How about you don't try to tell me what I cooked or how I cooked it?
Don't worry about my pan.

Actually, wine won't ruin the seasoning if it's a quick deglaze. I do
it with mirin at times.

You're right. I deglaze and also rinse screaming hot cast iron pans. It
does affect the seasoning on the bottom. I don't cook eggs in them. I
don't cook acidic foods in them. I'm perfectly happy with how I use
them.

[ObFood] I suck at pan frying a whole butchered chicken. I do it about
once a year. I use two ten inch skillets for one chicken, and the
pieces are still crowded. It's messy. The chicken comes out fine. The
coating not so much. Then again, I have a carcass for stock.
Baking is so much easier, but ain't no gravy when I'm done.

Ground beef (from the grocery) is pretty bland. I would like to
figure a proper way to spice it up occasionally for hamburgers. I
always wonder what cut of beef "ground beef" is made from. One
day, I'll google it.

I did buy ground sirloin once and the burgers were much tastier.

On my bucket list is ground rib eye burgers. One of these days
but I've been saying that for about 20 years now. I'll bet that
one will be just burger on a fresh soft bun with no condiments at
all.
Problem is, you see this nicely marbled steak and it's very hard
to mess with perfection and grind it.

It should say on the package if it's ground chuck, round, sirloin. If
it's just labelled "ground beef" 80/20 or 70/30 (lean to fat ratio) it
could be trimmings from a number of cuts. You could always ask the butcher.

Thanks for that, Jill. I kinda figured it was scraps. Plain
ground beef is not very tasty. I do buy the higher fat kind as
the fat has flavor. Heck...once you fry it, you pour off most of
the fat anyway.

Nowadays the meat departments don't grind on premisis, ground beef is
ground, packaged, and trucked to stores from a central facility....
the people who work in your store's meat department haven't a clue
what/who's in it. These days few stupidmarkets employ real butchers,
they are meat cutters who know how to portion the cryovaced cuts...
think about it, when was the last time you saw a side of beef hanging
in the store... probably some thirty years ago.

What we do is mix meat cuts a bit. We'll take some london broil, pork
butt at about 70/30 mix and grind together. The pork adds a little
needed fat to the leaner beef cut. Sometimes I'll sprinkle some
seasonings (not too much, I don't want sausage) on the meat before
grinding.

Ground beef at market is the cuts too ugly to sell otherwise, and
blended with scraps/trimmings.

I'll sometimes grind a nice steak but you need your own grinder.

I have always found ribeyes to be quite tasty. I have never seen any
reason to marinate them. That would be an appropriate treatment for a
tougher cut.
