Besides the above, we have one critical rule to all frozen meat...defrost naturally or in room temp water (while still in vac bag), NEVER defrost in microwave. Critical rule in our house

Only exception is ground beef that is being crumbled. Even then I scrape off the thawed part each time the defrost tells me to turn it.Besides the above, we have one critical rule to all frozen meat...defrost naturally or in room temp water (while still in vac bag), NEVER defrost in microwave.

Generally with a rub, it should be put on the night before and you should also let the meat warm to room temp before cooking (45 minutes or so).Great suggestion, we do the same with marinades, but I have not tried it with a rub. In a pinch, I have a vacuum container I put the meat in with the marinade and twenty minutes later the food is fully marinated. Works great!

Darn, I missed the woot. Can't do it at work, got home and went to sign up for those headphones, because I need me a good pair of Bluetooth headphone (and cheap to boot), but missed it.
If anyone finds anything like that again, please, please post it!!!!!
Sorry you missed the Woot, Daily Steals gets them on occasion as well.
I will post if I see them again.

Steak dinner for the family is good too! Which I think brings me to the topic of the night... (sorry vegetarians) what is everyone's favorite cut? For whatever reason, I prefer top sirloin over all others. I guess filet is good too, but I cant justify spending twice as much when I'm always happy with the sirloin.
Steak - probably my favorite meal. Give me a ribeye or new york strip or skirt steak medium rare and I'm a happy woman. If you do it on a charcoal grill I might even drool. And add in some roasted corn and asparagus and you're golden. For the complete win - give me a nice red wine to pair with it. *swoon*
So we're on the steak discussion, eh?
As a mostly vegetarian I probably shouldn't answer but I would vote for a new York strip. Rub with any spices you like with plenty of salt. Grill or broil is best. Mashed potatoes is my favorite side. Lots of blue cheese and garlic and you're golden. Some nice light red wine would be a perfect pairing.
Blue cheese is so bad for you but so delicious. I love a wedge of iceberge lettuce smothered in blue cheese dressing. Another nice treat is blue cheese and garlic melted atop a good ribeye.
While we're talking grilling...
I found - and won - an old Safari Quik Cook Grill off eBay! For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a small grill that uses only newspaper as fuel. You wad up 12 sheets of newspaper, light the top piece, and slap your food on top. Since paper burns at 451 degrees and it's up to temperature immediately, the food starts cooking instantly!
The grill has holes around the edges to control airflow, allowing it to burn about 11 minutes. 5-1/2 minutes per side, you got a nice juicy steak ready to eat before charcoal or gas grills ever get up to temp.
Newspaper gives it a good, smoky, grilled flavor and all newsprint ink is soy-based and non-toxic.
It was sold in the early 1990s on one of the first infomercials. We wore ours out and just discovered them out there again. If you have a chance to grab one (or two - always good to have a spare), they're perfect for camping, picnics, power outages or just plain SPEED COOKING.
Anyway, hope you learned something from my crowing here. Back to the steaks
If I owned a metal roller and an welder I could easily make those. Or just make it square.
Perfection! Add grilled asparagus and a salad....mmmmmmmmAnother nice treat is blue cheese and garlic melted atop a good ribeye.
