Best buy on sleeping bag for backpacking or bike camping

under $40 and a great bag, look at the specifications.

I was a bit leary when I saw the brand name was not The North Face, or something you associate climbing mountains.... But not perfect but still and amazing value...

Grilling steak tips...


Grilling Steak Tips – Win Hearts with Succulent Steaks
by: Chris McCarthy




Count the number of times you stared at the mere sight of grilled steaks and barbecues served on the table! Actually, it is all ‘the doing’ of the great Grilling art that gives BBQs and steaks their irresistible flavors and looks. You too can dish up lip smacking, shapely steaks if you follow some infallible steak grilling tips. By the way, grilling is not just a process, it is more about preparations and involvement, as you will understand from the following steak grilling tips:

Going ahead with the practical details of the grilling process, the first thing you will have to ensure is the quality of the raw material. Regardless of whether you are grilling fish or beef shoulders, tenderloin or sirloin steaks, the bottom line is fresh raw materials make the best steaks.

Steaks or fillets in the range 1.25 inches to 2.25 inches grill well. A little fat enhances the taste of a bar-b-q but too much of it causes the meat to shrink. Fat, likewise, adds to the palatability of the grilled steak, but then it also increases health risks. Therefore, a healthy tip would be to remove excess fat.

The next sets of steak grilling tips are regarding seasoning processes. You can season the steak with salt and pepper however, some prefer vegetable oil brushings along with salt and pepper seasoning or bbq rubs . Leaving the seasoning-coated steak for 30 minutes at room temperature will treat the meat, making it tender and augmenting its natural flavor. Two tablespoons of melted unsalted butter added to the seasoning will give the meat extra delicate flavor.

Now, getting down to the real grilling business, the first tip for you would be regarding the grill itself. You need to preheat the grill before placing the fish or meat steak. Follow this with oiling the grates if you are grilling some meat steak. For a fish steak, you can place a thin hole-poked foil on the grates, thus preventing the fish from sticking.

The most important section of steak grilling tips deal with ‘the doneness’ of the steak. A rare-done steak has tender, soft core enveloped in a seared outer layer. A medium-done steak is more evenly cooked with a brown exterior and semi-firm inner layers. Well-done steaks, on the other hand, are firm to the core.

The best way to ensure that a steak is cooked to your desired degree of doneness is to use a thermometer. Do not use forks or spatulas. They would puncture the steak causing the juice to flow out. A rare-done meat should be ready by the time the thermometer reads 140° on the Fahrenheit scale. Similarly, the ideal temperatures for medium-cooked and well-cooked steaks are 160° and 170° respectively. Remember, the cooking process continues even after you take the steak off the grill.

Equipped with these steak grilling tips you will be able to floor your guests. It would be worthwhile to keep some extra servings ready, for your guests might ask additional helpings of succulent grilled bbq sauce and steaks.

Steak Myths.........



Article and recipe from June 2009 newletter by Steven Raichlen Copyright � by Steven Raichlen. All rights reserved. Used by permission of Workman Publishing



THE SIX MYTHS ABOUT GRILLING STEAK


There are a number of myths concerning how to cook a great steak, T-bones included. So let’s separate fact from fiction.

Myth number 1: Let the steak warm to room temperature before grilling.

Bad idea. Meat at room temperature is a formula for microbial disaster. Steakhouse pros keep their meats ice-cold and bacteria-free until the moment of grilling.

Myth number 2: Salt toughens steak, so don’t salt before grilling.

On the contrary, a generous dusting of salt (kosher or coarse sea salt) and cracked black peppercorns right before grilling gives you the rich flavor and savory crust characteristic of a great steakhouse steak. So, season the steak right before it goes on the grill. Do not, however, season a steak hours ahead, or the salt will draw out the juices and make the steak dry.

Myth number 3: A barbecue fork is the proper tool for turning a steak.

Wrong. The only purpose served by puncturing a steak with a fork is to drain out the flavorful juices. Always use tongs when turning a steak.

Myth number 4
: Turn the steaks often.

False. Most of the world’s meat masters turn the steaks only once. Why? This helps achieve a better crust.

Myth number 5
: The best way to check for doneness is to cut into the steak with a knife.

False. Again, the last thing you want to do is cut or puncture the meat. For the same reason, don’t buy Dad one of those temperature-reading barbecue forks for Father’s Day. The best way to check for doneness is to use the poke test: Press the thickest part of the steak with your finger. When the meat is rare, it will feel soft and squishy. When medium-rare, the meat will feel semi-soft and yielding. When medium, the meat will yield just a little, while when well-done, the meat will feel hard and springy. Not that we advocate serving a T-bone (or any steak) well done.

For really thick steaks, use an instant-read meat thermometer. Insert it through the side of the steak to get an accurate reading. Here are the temperatures that define varying degrees of doneness:

Rare: 125 degrees F
Medium-rare: 145 degrees F
Medium: 160 degrees F
Well-done: 180 degrees F

Myth number 6: Steak tastes best sizzling hot off the grill.

False: A steak hot off the grill will be dry and leathery. You should let all grilled steaks (all meats, actually) “rest” for a couple of minutes on a hot platter. This allows the meat to “relax,” redistributing the juices. The result: a more tender, succulent steak.


I love steak!

Here is a recipe from the same newsletter:


SALT-CRUSTED T-BONES

Source: Steven Raichlen
Method: Direct grilling
Serves: 4 generously

4 T-bone steaks, each about 12 ounces and cut 1-1/4 inches thick
2 cups rock salt or very coarse sea salt

Set up your grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high. Brush and oil the grill grate.

Arrange the steaks on the grate and sprinkle the top with a 1/4-inch layer of salt. Grill the steak until the bottom is darkly browned and beads of blood start to form on the top, about 5 minutes.

Turn the steak over (some of the salt will fall into the fire—it’s supposed to). Sprinkle another 1/4-inch layer salt on top of the steak. Continue grilling until the bottom is again darkly browned and the steak is cooked to taste—4 to 5 minutes more.

Turn the steak on its side with tongs and whack it with the back of a knife to knock off the excess salt.

To serve, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 2 minutes. Cut the meat off the bone. (Return the bone to the fire to char it, then serve it separately.) Cut the now boneless steak crosswise and slightly on the diagonal into 1/2-inch thick strips. Serve with a well-aged Rioj a and get ready for some of the best steak you’ve ever tasted.

We like to rest it in a little Garlic/Ginger/LiteSoy/butter mix and flip it in the middle of the rest period.

Gotta go eat!

Cooking for the 4th CHEF KURT style.... Kelly, I wish you would have been in Colorado






OUTDOOR CHEF KURT just got back from his biggest event ever.

I traveled almost 3000 miles in my truck round trip to Longmont Colorado from Redmond Oregon loaded to the top of the truck.

I had all of my smokers and grills and ovens and all of my other supplies. It looked like we were moving a restaurant!

The reception was at a private farm called Anderson Farms, where they have big events.

I was cooking all of the meat and poultry for a group of 250 people.

77# of black Angus prime rib, which I butchered up to make ribeye steaks ,
60# of baby back ribs rubbed and seasoned and wrapped in foil, then
55# of whole chickens that I cut into quarters and made a secret marinade for were prepared the day before to marinate overnight and be grilled and smoked the next day.

It was so good, we have a bunch more pictures from the next day.

And guess what it is off to the Wild Winds Ranch for the kids camps for the next two weeks.

I am available for a Central Oregon wedding reception and will hopefully be doing a Camp Chef Demo at Big R this weekend.

Until then, from the field to the grill....

Cooking and making better choices for KIDS



This is the book in a kids version.

If you saw the special on Oprah, he is really entertaining. This is the guy who has edited the Men's Health magazine for a dozen years. He also has lost over 30lbs and kept it off.

In writing this book, he found out about hidden ingredients in foods also a big thing is the portion sizes. Many foods are 1/2 of a kids portion so you need to make sure you look that the labels.

Better yet just buy this book and it will help you make healthy decisions...

Please comment if you own this book.

The FINAL PART

1. Add in large serving bowl, all the "Part One" ingredients, cucumbers last.

2. In a side bowl or the feta container, mix together all "Part Two" ingredients.

3. Pour over the salad, cover and chill. You can serve immediately but if you wait a few hours it is much better. Stir the oil from the bottom to the top every so often while chilling. NOTE: It is even better the next day.
