Every time I cook a steak, I'll always save a bit for the next
day.

The cold leftovers, I'll cut very thinly, add a little salt.
Lightly toast and butter a slice of bread,
fold in half then add in some steak slices. Makes a
nice half sandwich. or 2 or 3 half sandwiches.

Lobster in Texas for $5? Tell me another one. Sorry but that's
just very hard to believe.

Looks good though although I would have made that 2 dinners. I
know Surf and Turf is popular but I've never understood why.

I always thought, showing off. I can't fathom mixing the two, it
would be difficult to pick up on the fine flavours of lobsters mixed
with steak. I love both, but separate

I've never thought it was showing off but maybe some
restaurant dish that combined 2 things that people
might not eat often at home. So splurge and get both
at one time out. Still odd combination though.

Personally, I would make the lobster the star of a seafood
platter along with some fried shellfish and a couple of
sides like fries and coleslaw.

My favorite steak dinner would be with (optional fried in
the pan mushrooms and onions) then with a side of salty
shoestring fries and some buttered corn or a fresh tossed
salad.

With any meat meal, I don't ever want to just eat bite
after bite of meat. I want to break it up with a bite of
a side too.

I have a friend that only eats shrimp when he makes it.
I like it with sides too. I'll cook about 1/2 pound
of shrimp and add other things. My shrimp lasts longer
than his does.

I do various things with leftover steak. Sometimes I slice it and
have it on a salad. Sometimes a cold steak sandwich (with mayo and
horseradish, for preference, and maybe a paper-thin slice of raw onion).
Sometimes I fry up a bunch of onions, slice up the steak and add it
to the onions just to heat through, and have it on a bun with some
pickled hot peppers and provolone.

I try not to [reheat steak]. I try to cook just enough to satisfy my
appetite and not have to reheat steak. I definitely wouldn't recommend
a microwave.

Just the other day I cooked a lovely 1-1/4" thick beef tenderloin filet
in a cast iron skillet.

I'd seasoned it with salt and wrapped it in cling wrap and kept it cold
for a couple of days. Then I cooked it in a very small cast iron
skillet in just a bit of butter. Pan just hot enough to get a nice sear
on one side without burning the butter. I turned and seared the other
side. I turned down the heat and seasoned with course black pepper and
some garlic powder. I let it cook in the cast iron pan in it's own
juices (it was nicely marbled) for about 15 minutes. I kept an eye on
it, made sure it wouldn't burn or overcook. I could see from looking at
the side of the steak it was still fairly rare.

Sure enough, when I took it out of the pan and cut into it, it was
seared but not crunchy/crusty. Cooked to beautifully rare yet steaming
hot in the center. Tender, juicy, delicious. I ate all of that small
steak. I doubt it would have been nearly as good reheated even in the
same skillet I used.

BTW, that's about the best darn steak I've ever eaten. I do hope I can
replicate it next time around.

Speaking of cast iron, check out Amazon deal. 19 bucks for a Lodge 12 inch skillet.
Bought 3.

Very cheap price. I won't challenge you though because you
always have a nifty response, same as Bruce. Both of you
*always* need to win.

I don't know about Thomas but I don't need three 12 inch cast iron
skillets. The cast iron skillet I cooked the tenderloin steak is about
6 inches in diameter. Perfect size for a small steak or a burger. I
have a 9" cast iron pan strictly used for baking cornbread. I rarely
use the 12 inch cast iron skillet. They're all at least 25-30 years
old; I don't recall what I paid for them. Probably $20 for all three.

3. I plan on teaching my daughter how to make pan pizza. She gets one.
I have been getting pretty good with pizza. Everytime is a bit better.

I have a few cast iron pans but never liked the 12" one. I gave
that
to my daughter.

I can't remember the last time I used the 12" cast iron. If I need a
12" skillet I use my stainless.

I suppose if I was cooking on a grill over coals I might use it. I once
had a covered cast iron pot that I used to cook homemade vegetable beef
soup on a charcoal grill. That was during a 2 week power outage after
some nasty storms spawned tornadoes hit the mid-south hard. In the
early 1990's. Had to cook and eat a lot of stuff before it spoiled. I
baked a pan of cornbread in the 9" cast iron skillet on the grill. I
used my grandma's old no-name cast iron griddle to cook bacon and eggs
on the grill.

I had to drive to the office every day to find out if the office was
open because the phone lines were also out. (Cell phones were not yet
common.) I got dressed every day as if the office would be open, drove
over to find out... power on yet?

Ah, but I knew the break room with a large ice machine was connected to
the same generator as the computer room. So while I was checking to see
if I the office was open, I also took a small cooler with me and filled
it with ice.

Cast iron is handy for some things.

Some of us are not overweight and like to keep it that way. Overall,
most of the women here are not overweight. We eat portions suitable
for our size. The few who say they are a little over, seem to eat
trimly as well but have slower metabolisms or something.

Want sexist? The guys never talk about that and their size. Nor do
the guys accuse other guys of being fat. Nor do the women accuse guys
or other women of being fat. Just the guys (not all but happens pretty
often) accusing the women here of being fat.

Me? I'm happy to be 3lbs off my goal of 110. Clocked in at 107!!!
3lbs can't be THAT hard to gain!

The volume isn't much of a problem for me but I want my veggies! Making
room for that, I'd half the steak.

Yes, cut thin. Try wasabi mayo for a swap in tastes.

Either I can prove it or I can't. Nothing is up for interpretations
or word games. Either I can prove it, or I can't. Don't pussy out
on me now - you challenged me and I accepted. Are you just gonna
let me win this by bluffing you? Chicken! [flapping my wings and
making chicken sounds].

Don't *even* compare me to Bruce. My IQ is twice that of his.

I wrap it in plastic wrap and carry it around in my front pocket for
an hour or so. By then it will be about 95F. Or if I'm in a hurry in
my back pocket and sit on it.

Or you could do it alll civilized liek. Pur it in ziplock and into a
135F bowl of water. I never microwave pork or beef muscles. It
tastes funny after that, even chicken, too. I'll sometimes do that
but prefer wrapped in foil in the oven.

Squirt buys all the decaying scraps nobody else wants and then wonders why
they taste so different.

LOL! I questioned it. It's a very cheap price for a lobster
but could happen. Maybe a whole frozen one that went on a
good sale or maybe you bought it on the black market from
a lobster shoplifter. heh

I know you have an answer. Why not just tell?

> Don't *even* compare me to Bruce. My IQ is twice that of his.

I'll let Bruce field that one however the "always needs to win"
personality which you both have, has nothing to do with IQ.

" Tell me another one. Sorry but that's just very hard to believe."

That's not "questioning it". You're clearly calling me a liar.
Maybe I am?

Looks like I win either way. You could have at least called my bluff
and had a 50% change of "winning" after making the implication. But
no, you're taking the path to 100% chance of losing. Twice even.

In the news this week. Martha Stewart is getting slammed for
displaying a dinner of whole lobster that she and employees were
having. (bad optics of the wealthy in these bad times, so said her
detractors) She explained that the lobsters were $4/each and the rest
of the food was grown on her property.
So, I believe Steve's lobster price. It all depends on your market
area.

In a good season small (under 2 lbs) live Lung Guyland lobster sold 3
for $10.

I try to buy the smallest chickens. Every time I go to ALDI to buy milk, I look at the chickens, and only buy them if they're not much over 4 lbs. Even then, my family of 3 can't finish a whole chicken.

When I grill t-bone, I cut out the tenderloins for my wife and son. This evening, I did that, and bacon wrapped the fillets. I cooked the strip with the bone for myself, as I prefer the flavor of the strip to the lovely texture of the fillet. I still have one raw t-bone, minus the tenderloin.

Putting any meat in a microwave if it's not already well done makes it icky.. Gently warming it in a pan is OK, but I'd rather have leftover steak room temp.
