    I like our Canadian ice wines, but I love the Noble Riesling! Not as sweet, and the mango flavour hits me where I live! Favorite Aussie ‘sticky’.

    QOTD: From up here in Edmonton Alberta Canada, the only thing we take more pride in than our hockey, is our beef. Thick cut striploin, sea salt, coarse black pepper, bit of cayenne and paprika, drizzle good olive oil, and let rest for an hour. Blast the grill to at least 500, and drop it on for 2.5 – 3 minutes a side, so it’s a little more bloody than medium rare. A 2004 Castaño Hécula Monastrell, and some grilled portabellas; best steak I had this year.

    Great Show Gary!

    I’ve been a big proponent of sweet wine with meat for years. Try Sauternes or Barsac (I like the edgier Barsac myself) with whole roast chicken and rosemary roasted potatoes (preferable potatoes roasted in goose fat for the full monty). Good Stuff!

    I like my steak true medium rare. Hard seared then finished off at low temp in the oven. Makes great sandwiches with leftovers.

    QOTD: After today’s drool-worthy episode, we decided to have steak on Wednesday! Perhaps we’ll get a reisling! I marinate my (organic) steak in a homemade mixture of minced garlic, molasses, pepper and soy sauce, then sear it in a buttered pan. Sometimes I add a roasted garlic-mustard sauce or fresh salsa.

  • QOTD:

    How do I like my steak? There are a lot of components that go into the making of a great steak. First, I prefer a thick cut of filet mignon or rib eye, because a thin steak cooks through two quickly. If the meat is of good quality, I don’t want a marinade that overpowers the natural flavors of the steak!

    So first, I would dry off the steak and let it warm up in temperature just a little before cooking, rub a very small amount of olive oil on the steak, rub a half clove of garlic on the surface of the meat, some salt, pepper, and perhaps wrap a piece of smoked bacon on the filet.

    Next, during the winter, I would sear the meat on both sides quickly in a very hot stove-top grill pan, and finish it off in the oven to cook the inside of the meat.

    I prefer my meat cooked medium-rare, with an old world red wine such as a bordeaux or Italian super tuscan.

    QOTD: Super freakin’ rare, with all sorts of deliciousness on top: Mushrooms, creamy sauces, whatever works. OR, contrarily, just a little dry rub: Some rosemary, s & p, et cetera. Either way, so long as it’s bloody.

    Also, 6 liters of Silver Oak doesn’t hurt either. 🙂

    New Zealand grass fed porterhouse steak,marinatd in thyme,lemon juice and olive oil 2cm thick cooked on hot plate of BBQ 3 minutes each side so medium rare.Gets a crust on it.Leave for 5 minutes so red juice comes out on plate and serve with Dry River 2001 pinot noir from martinborough. Go the Jets, I see Joe Namath used to play for them, thats the sum of my knowledge.
