We made trip #2 out to Pappa’s less famous Houston steakhouse. The Sbragia Cabernet was wonderful with my bone-in ribeye. Amy had the asparagus side, and I had some lovely mushroom caps. She went for the filet oscar, a nice petite filet mignon with a lemon-butter sauce and crab meat. She said it was wonderful, […]
Iowa - how’s the beef? What’s the best steak in the state of Iowa? Well I searched for steak, steakhouses, etc… and I quickly found the best steak house in Iowa - Rube’s Meat.
A quick call to the tire shop in Davis County confirmed, Rube’s is worth the 2 hour drive from Ottumwa. Even […]
I’ve been to Jimmy Wilson’s AKA Denis’ Wilson’s (but actually named Jimmy Wilson’s Seafood & Chop House) several times. I’ve had some great seafood there - lovely crab cakes, tasty spinach-artichoke dip, etc. Saturday night we headed out for dinner, and my girlfriend wanted some Shrimp Etoufee. I wanted a bit of steak - but […]
This isn’t “Pappas Bros. Grill” that Texas Monthly named the #1 steakhouse in Texas, but Pappas Grill Steakhouse is owned by the same family, and it was fabulous! I’ve eaten at the more famous Pappas Bros. Grill, and it was great, but it was crowded, and a little pretentious. This version seems a bit […]
My girlfriend wanted to try something a little different than the standard steakhouse - so we headed over to the neighborhood tapas. Sweet little place with a nice patio - Rioja’s Tapas. Weather was great so we sat outside. Riojo is a word for spanish red wine - and their wine list featured plenty of […]
Tonight we ventured out to steak at Taste of Texas. I continued my streak of trying Rib-eye, medium rare. The building is huge, with 20 foot plus ceilings in some places, and the echo effect only adds to the high noise level. There wasn’t a wait, but I usually don’t expect one on a Tuesday […]
Ran across buffalo sirloin @ HEB the other day. Was planning on grilling, but ended up having to freeze them for a few days. Finally had a chance to grill them, along with some nice bacon-wrapped beef medallions. Just noticed that HEB is running a Texas Grillin’ Giveaway promotion for a backyard makeover!
I’ve heard that […]
Grilling ribeye steaks is easy.
Recipe - Steak Rub
My recipe is a simple rub - reserve extra virgin olive oil, fresh-cracked black peppercorn, and Alessi fine sea salt. That’s all I want on my steak. Rub it on about an hour before grilling, and let it soak in while the steak comes to room temperature. […]
