Well, best laid plans.
The New York steaks are now ground beef, and vacuum sealed, in the freezer.
One thing we have not been able to find here, is tender, juicy beefy beef. We have tried Costco, Walmart, (formerly Superama), Soriana, Sam’s Club, Justo, and, most recently, meat.me.mx. None of them have a decent cut of steak. I believe we are destined to have only distant memories of thick, hot, buttery, juicy, beefy rib eye steaks.
Until we can find someplace, where we can buy decent beef, we are going to have to continue to learn new ways to prepare chicken, fish, and pork. Not such a bad position to be in. All three are relatively inexpensive, and quite flavorful, not riddled with thick, gnarly gristle. Who wants to eat 1/3 gristle with occasional tough beef? Not us.
As chicken, and pork are the main animal proteins available, we will have to just get used to it. Done. Onward.
Stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones.
