Harmons Meat Sale

For the most part we try and get the lowest price when we go shopping. That being said, you get what you pay for.  We bought some beef at WinCo a couple of weeks ago.... bad experience.  It was dry, huge chunks of fat and chewy.  Chewy meat is almost as bad as dry, burned meat.  However, I was at Harmons last week and they had a sale on their meat, 4 packages of meat for $20.  That may seem a little pricey, but for the quality of meat and the amount you get, it is not a bad deal.  The packages normally sell for 6-8 dollars.  That being said, I picked up some ground beef, a package of boneless pork spare ribs, and 2 NY strip steaks.  You can read about the spare ribs in the posting right before this one.  The steaks... were awesome.  Here is what we did,  cooking is just as much about being creative as knowing what to do.


What you need:
Steak
Butter
Garlic
Salt
Pepper

What to do:
The awesome thing about this is you can make it rich with garlic, or have just a hint.  Melt 2-3 tbs of butter.  Crush or finely chop 2 cloves of garlic, mix it in with the butter.  let this mixture cool before putting it on your steak or it will start to cook it.  When it is cool but not solid, pour it into a plastic bad, with the meat and let it marinate for 1 1/2 -2 hrs.  When you are ready to eat, heat a non stick pan, place you steak in the pan and you should hear a nice sizzle, let your meat cook on the one side until it has a nice seer on it, flip the meat and repeat the process.  The meat may be cooked to your desired temperature, if not, you can put it in the oven until it is done.  We also really like the steak just cooked with a generous amount of salt and pepper.  Enjoy!
