Try a chuck eye.  It's the front-end of a ribeye and it has all that good marbling that makes ribeyes so tasty.  Plus, they're usually about half the price.

Darn but I LOVE the charred fat from a  beef or pork steak.

I cannot be that bad for us, for the years after I hit 10 years old until now, this is the 1/3 of a steak that has given the meat the flavor.

I learned to eat pork rinds in the south and bake using Lard.

I use a cast iron fry pan with ridges to cook steak. Salt and pepper, that's it.

I honestly never knew how many people ate their steak rare/rarer/raw.  I don't recall ever seeing anyone being served steak that rare in any of our uppity restaurants in Charleston, but that may be because we are too busy eating critters off the sea floor (which strikes me as an even worse idea). :-)


Yes WE....you can get rare steak in downtown Charleston....82 Queen.

And those critters off the sea floor are pretty damn good down there too!!! Oysters and bloody Marys out on Shem Creek.... :drool:

Didn't realize you were in Charleston. It's one of my favorite places. Was over there 2 years ago this month....beautiful time of year to be there.
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Remove the egg and it would be perfect. I don't like raw eggs in my steak tartare.  Makes it slimey...:puke:

absolutely not.  the "she" part is enticing.  but crabs are cured by topical cream.

I wondered why it was called she-crab. I assumed it was female crab, but are they cooked? Surely they are. Is it the female parts in the soup? Please tell me no.

It's wonderful!!  Female blue crab is used, so that the roe (eggs) may be added to the soup.

She Crab Soup Recipe - How To Make She Crab Soup

2 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups half & half cream
4 teaspoons finely-grated onion
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and white pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon red (cayenne) pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest (rind)
1 1/2 pounds flaked blue crab meat*
1/4 cup crab roe**
3 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon finely-chopped fresh parsley leaves

* If you live in parts of the country where blue crab is not available, other types of crabmeat, such as Dungeness, snow, king, or rock crab, may be substituted.


rest of the recipe is here....http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Chowder/SheCrabSoup.htm

Sounds yummy. I'd leave out the roe though. Does that make it just plain ole bisque?

I don't like roe to just eat it by itself, however it is quite flavorful and adds to the flavor of the soup. Crab roe is not like caviar where it is little bubble-like things that may/may not "pop" in your mouth, it's fairly smooth. Many people will just pick it out of the crab and eat it....same with lobster roe.

I do like caviar, but I only like the "tiny" egg kind...black, red, orange or yellowish....but the big eggs....oh no!! Caviar is from fish, usually salmon. But all female fish have roe, just most of it isn't harvested and sold for ridiculous prices. 
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

for heaven's sake.  are you drawing a distinction between different kinds of fish eggs?  eggs come from hens.  anything else is unnatural. :-)

I've tried it a couple of times, but I felt like I was eating poppyseeds. They got stuck in my teeth. Ick. Plus I am not a fan of fish. I like shrimp, crab, and sometimes lobster, but I am not a fish person. I wish I were. It is so lean.

I eat the roe out of some of the reef fish I catch.

Crumbed and fried in a light garlic butter - but it's gotta be really fresh - same hour caught type of thing.
