You ask if you cook a steak by baking it in the oven!
One of our friends/neighbors who lives a few streets over has parents that are certified “Organic Ranchers” and since they know I am into that kind of stuff, when they see their parents they always bring us back meat. Lots and lots of meat. A few weeks ago they brought us about 25 lbs of steak and about 1.5 lbs of ground beef. We love it and they know we do and they know how excited my hubby is about having fresh steak (because it tends to be costly we buy steak once a month usually).
Anyways Saturday night I thawed out what I thought was two steaks….until Sunday when I opened the packages. One package had two steaks and the other had three. I thought Holy Cow (haha I know I am funny) what are we going to do with all this meat? So I called another neighbor and said hey would you guys like steak for dinner. Her response?
“Sure, what temp do I need to put my oven at?”
me: silence
her: “Hello?”
me: “Tell me you are kidding, right? You don’t put steak in the oven, you grill it.”
her: “Oh, well I didn’t know I never cooked my own steak before, I just go out to eat if I want a steak.”
me: “Astonishment
They own a grill mind you, but the only thing they use it for is seafood (they are from Maryland) and hamburgers. I told her how to make them, how long to cook them, and then told had to teach her how to grill asparagus too.
I then called my husband who was at a “Man Store” and he thought I was kidding.
We are from the south, the south where everyone is born knowing how to grill meat……don’t get me wrong I have family in the north, and when I think about it I don’t think I have ever seen them grill their own steaks either.
This just cracked me up…..seriously cracked me up!
