I'm somewhat of a meat purist. I feel that, for me, the steak was not prepared correctly if you require a sauce or other accompaniment to make it taste better. I suppose that's why I almost never order steak at a restaurant because I like mine better at home. I have the same thoughts toward pork, chicken, and nearly anything else that one might put a sauce on.
Maybe it's better said that I'm just not a fan of sauce? :confused: In any event, to each his own. ^ |

Jackson Hole will do it right for you, too, with plenty of grease and still pink/red inside, as you prefer. Yummy. |

On a completely different note, is anyone else's FT acting like an oldie-time teletype machine? I can sometimes type almost entire sentences before they will show up on screen. :confused: :rolleyes::rolleyes: |

Just out of curiousity, does this apply to au poivre as well? IMO that makes for a completely differnt flavor, and not an enhancement.

Generally, yes. I usually put some peanut oil (fiance is allergic to olives) and season the steak, which is the first part of au poivre. I would then enjoy the steak in that way, without a pan sauce. I suppose that when I have a steak, I would like it to taste like a steak and not something else. But like I said, that's just me.

I've got an eight-foot-long Pitts & Spitts Smoker Pit in the back-yard. In Houston, Winter is one of the most bearable times for outdoor smoking (decent temperatures and no mosquitos). I need to fire that baby up and smoke a Pork Standing Rib Roast with my special marinade. Mmmmm...

Lea & Perrins is the best Worcester Sauce, IMO. I tried to make a side-trip to their factory on one of my trips through England, but had no internet connectivity as I was passing through Worcester en route to Bath, so couldn't figure out how to track them down.

Ok, here are my re-route options if I can score a bump.

You do realize that since you have put so much time and effort into planning VDB alternatives, it is now almost certain that you won't get a VDB. :D
