Ah, the smell of a perfectly grilled steak is one of the best smells I have ever endured. Not sure how one would describe the smell of a thick juicy NY strip cooked to the perfection of medium rare to medium with just a slight bit of char righteousness on the outside. Even the sizzle sound when the steak hits the hot grill is enough to excite the taste buds.
You know that sound and you know the smell, not only is it the sounds and smells of goodness searing on the grill, it is also the sounds and smells that spring has arrived, the gateway to better weather, barbeques, boating, fishing, beaching, camping and just getting outside and enjoying life. Ah, spring, there is a skip in our step and zip in our zing; there is not one person I know who doesn’t like spring. And with spring comes summer … and that is another blog entirely!
The question is steak sauce or NO steak sauce? It’s your preference, but me? I wouldn't bother, have you ever heard the old saying “A good steak doesn’t need it and a bad steak doesn’t deserve it.”? However, there can be one exception, Peter Luger steak sauce. They are famous for their Porterhouse for two, grilled to perfection served pre-sliced, sizzling on a hot plate with a douse of butter, really what could be better.
Even though the steak does not need it and trust me it doesn’t, it was the first time I’ve had a steak melt my mouth, really! They do serve every steak with the famous steak sauce, but I think it’s just to get you hooked; it’s so good you could actually drink it! (for Bermudians, Marketplace Shopping Center does sell this sauce, I would highly recommend picking up a bottle)
One cannot live by steak alone, so there is bit about other great grilling meats...chicken, the other white meat, pork, the rich bounty of our favorites from the sea and vine ripened sweet and juicy fruit , yes, fruit, oh did I mention ...grilled pizza!
Happy Grilling!
