Meat Once a Week

Despite my well-documented issues with meat (here, here, and here to name a few) I have agreed to eat meat one day a week in the spirit of compromise.

This week's meat attempt was steak tips. It seemed like a really good idea. I enjoy red meat much more than chicken, and since steak tips are small, they should have been easier to eat...in theory.

Josh did a great job preparing them. He got them all cleaned up and ready to go before they marinated for a few hours. He really is a good sport!

Then he grilled them and made sure they were cooked the "Samantha Way." I wish I could describe the way that I like to eat protein of any kind. The general rule of thumb when cooking either meat or chicken (and sometimes tofu too!) is that it needs to be cooked all the way through so that it is firm. I hate when anything is slimy or too mushy. Josh, on the other hand, prefers to eat all protean rare, or close to it. This makes grilling more complicated, but again, he is a really good sport! Josh's food comes off first and mine stays on.

All and all I have to say, it was a pretty tasty meal. Sure I ate a lot more broccoli, challah, and salad than steak tips, but the one or two I had were cooked perfectly.
