I was so mad, I couldn't see for a few minutes, neither could I talk, luckily for the Skinner and everyone else around.

Anyway, guess I'll have to go back to Nashville and get me steak now.

See what happens when you choose beef over coonmeat? It tastes much bedder!

Medium well is good, but medium rare is too bloody for me to eat. I like steak with just a little pink in the middle.

I have one word for you raw and practically raw meat eaters-SALMONELLA!!

LCS,

Thanks for the compliments! It was a pleasure getting to grill for you and Coonskinner. I enjoyed our visit immensely. There are some folks you just feel like you have known all of your life and you two are like that.

I eat my steaks medium but I have a wife who insists on them being very, very, very well done so I was prepared to cook them to Lady Coonskinners liking!!

However I did draw the line at offering any of the several steak sauces I had in the fridge and in the pantry (LOL).

I marinated the steaks in a peppercorn marinade that gives it all of the flavor it needs. LCS was a little hesitant about the marinade and I offered to not do hers but she bravely decided to go for it and it sounds like she liked it.

These peppercorn marinades are good because they only call for the steaks to be marinated a very short time. Some of them specify no more than 15 minutes although I fudge and take it to 20-30 minutes. These marinades in a package that you mix with vinegar and vegetable oil yourself seem to do much better than the bottled ones.

We have had good success with the following marinade.

1 Part Soy Sauce
3 Parts Pineapple Juice

You can't taste the Pineapple... it just tenderizes.

The guy that told me about that mixture said he used to work at Saltgrass and got the concoction from there.

Who knows?

This sounds interesting. How long do you marinate?

I usually will marinate them around 4 hours or, sometimes, overnight.
