It was incredibly tender and flavorful. While it was a bit difficult to swallow I was able to enjoy it without too much issue. A sign that I'm getting better

Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 92 | congrats on your first steak! I tried one a week ago but unfortunately it was cooked on the grill at a friends house and a bit overdone, I prefer mine bleeding and I am guessing that is a necessity with the lack of saliva now. I managed a couple of bites but they were not pleasant to get down. Still waiting for my chance at an extremely rare and tasty rid eye.

Glad you spreading your wings as a bird of prey!
Just be prepared to pay up for the prime cuts - market and rib eyes do great as Rosy is drooling for.

Joined: Sep 2012 Posts: 381 | The slow cooker is very much my friend, between the tenderness of the meat, and the sauce...ahhh, sauce, there is never a better word for the OCF family!
Plus, the joy of eating a small amount of alfredo sauce without having to worry about the fat content, since I don't eat much anyway. Try it on steak, it's pretty damn good even if the steak is overcooked.
