>>>>I'm one of those meat eaters that likes to taste the meat, thankyouverymuch. My husband always gets a chuckle out of the wait-person asking me which steak sauce I want and my reply is always "Why? Is there something wrong with the meat?", so the biggest thing I find off-putting is the whole "MUST have something covering the steak completely" trend I'm seeing in restaurant advertisements. No, really, if I want smothered steak, I wouldn't be spending the money on good meat, and if you're not gonna serve me good meat, I'll eat at home - I've got a GREAT grill and I know how to use it.

>>>I am just like you! I put the steak on the grill with some salt and that's it! I am a fan of simple food, back in Argentina my everyday lunches consisted of a steak with "ensalada mixta" (Lettuce, tomato and onion) and dinner was "milanesa napolitana" (breaded meat with tomato sauce and cheese on top) with moshed potatos, never got tired of those :)

>>My idea of a perfect meal: Slab o'dead cow (preferably a Porterhouse), barely cooked and some form of potato. I'm happy.

>An Australian fiction writer (blanking on his name) described the perfect steak recipe as "chop off the horns, wipe its arse, and bung it on the plate."

Yep, a good vet should still be able to save that animal! :-)
