RUMINATIONS

It is so funny to me that I’m making sirloin steak filets on a regular basis.

Why, you ask?

Because we were vegetarians for a good chunk of time.  And once we started eating meat again, it took me years to be comfortable making steak.

If I’d have known how easy it was, I would have started making it a lot sooner.

Does Grass Fed Beef Taste Different?

You bet your sweet bippy it does.  At least it does to me and I believe it would to you too. If I made this exact dish with one grass fed steak and one regular steak and you tried them side by side, you would see what I mean.

Here’s a great chart that shows you all the different cuts of beef and how to cook them.

Is Grass Fed Beef More Expensive?

Yes, it is.  The cow is allowed to graze, is not given hormones and is raised more ‘naturally’ then non grass fed cows.  You can taste the difference in the meat.

Other grass-fed beef recipes:

• Gravy
• Curry meatballs
• Bourbon meatballs

Tips on making the medium rare sirloin filets:

• Use a gallon zip lock bag to marinate the filets, it’s cheap and easy
• Place sirloin into the bag and add all the marinade ingredients.  Knead the bag to mix and cover the sirloin with the marinade
• Place the bag of steak on the counter for an hour before you bake it so the sirloin gets to room temperature
• Cover a jelly roll pan with foil and place a wire rack on the pan for easy clean up
• Bake first at a low temperature and when you raise the temperature of the oven, make sure to take the filets out of the oven until it comes to temperature

Do I use a thermometer to check the doneness?  No, I have been doing this a while now and I know how to get medium rare sirloin.  But if you have a thermometer, by all means use it if it gives you more peace of mind.

Let’s plate the medium rare sirloin filets, shall we?  I arrange them on the plate with my Colorful Roasted Baby Potatoes and a modest handful of asparagus spears.

Time to cut into the medium rare sirloin steak.  I can’t wait!

Knife Time

Jump into my mouth, piece of filet!  Right now!

Christopher held the fork for me while I took the shot.

I snapped away, reached over, grabbed that piece off the fork and popped it into my mouth.

Mmmmm.  Tender and delicious!

I hope you enjoyed this medium rare sirloin recipe!
