Cuts Of Steak

-

1) TOP ROUND
(AKA London broil)
Very lean with mild flavor; dense and slightly chewy.
Inexpensive with no fat to trim off, so more meat for your money; even shape makes it easy to slice thin.
Marinating will tenderize the meat.
Best served rare to medium (overcooking will turn this cut into leather).
Must be carved very thin, against the grain.
Great cold for sandwiches.
"Best Buy"

2) RIB EYE
(AKA Delmonico steak)
Naturally tender cut cooks up juicy, with a rich flavor of caramelized meat.
Can be sold bone-in for rib lovers and for a more dramatic presentation.
Lots of marbling makes it self-basting.
These steaks are pricey, so look for ones with a large "eye" and less surrounding fat.

3) FILET MIGNON
(AKA tenderloin steak)
Its mild flavor and tenderness make it the perfect canvas for a starring sauce.
Expensive, but unlike other cuts, it doesn?t need to be trimmed and doesn?t shrink much during cooking.
Avoid acidic marinades -- they'll deteriorate the fine grain and make the meat mealy.
Best eaten rare to medium.
Lean and tender enough to be eaten cold.
Skip the steak knife -- it cuts like butter!

4) T-BONE
Nothing says "steakhouse" like a T-bone. Great for steak lovers who eat with their eyes first.
Combines two contrasting cuts in one sitting -- part of the delicate tenderloin and robust, juicy strip.
The bone adds flavor and seals in juices.
Perfect for carnivores who feel the meat's just a vehicle for getting to gnaw on the bone.

5) SKIRT STEAK
(AKA fajita steak)
Good bang for your buck -- juicy and flavorful; quick-cooking and versatile.
Firm, accordion-like grain soaks up dry rubs and marinades.
Best served rare to medium-rare. Anything more toughens the meat.
"Best Buy"

6) STRIP LOIN
(AKA strip steak; New York strip steak; shell steak)
A beef-lover's steak -- you can really taste the steer.
A trophy cut -- tenderness, succulence and a satisfying chew.
Low maintenance: cooks evenly, ideal for a variety of cooking methods (grilling, broiling and pan-roasting).
Serve rare or medium-rare: This cut turns mealy when overcooked.
"Best Buy"

The Hollow Earth: The Greatest Geographical Discovery in History Made by Admiral Richard E. Byrd in the Mysterious Land Beyond the Poles - The True Origin of the Flying Saucers   Widely read and reprinted many times, Raymond Bernard’s book is considered by many to be the definitive treatise on the "Hollow Earth" theory. The book purports that the Earth has a hollow and habitable interior, with a small sun in place of a molten core, and is inhabited by a race of “Superhumans” who are the descendants of the exiled residents of the long lost continents of Atlantis and Lemuria. Bernard claimed that the true North and South poles had not yet been discovered, and that in their place are concave openings to the inner Earth. Bernard quotes several diary entries and radio announcements by polar explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd as being definitive proof for his theory that travel to the Earth’s interior was possible. Bernard claims that Byrd’s 1947 and 1956 expeditions took him “bey

  In case you are wondering why there is so much " Fake News " coming out of the Mainstream Media over the last few years: The (2012) National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) legalized the use of propaganda on the US public. On January 2, 2013 Barack Obama signed and enacted into “law” HR 4310 , also known as Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which was part of the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) . A large majority of concerned Americans were focused on the  indefinite detention of US Citizens without trial clause contained in the NDAA , and missed HR 4310 which received little to no attention.

The Time Bill Clinton Threatened Peter Jennings "You Don't Want To Go There Peter!"

  An extremely pissed and paranoid-sounding Bill Clinton threatened ABC News anchorman Peter Jennings in this interview from November 2004 Bill Clinton sat down with ABC News anchor Peter Jennings in November 2004, almost four years after leaving the office. When Peter Jennings asked him about his low ranking by a group of Presidential historians for his “moral leadership,” Bill Clinton seethed in his response. Clinton could barely contain himself when Jennings told him he cared about the low rating more than he was willing to admit. He seemed to be threatening Jennings as he responded “You don’t want to go here, Peter. You don’t want to go here. Not after what you people did. And the way you – your network – what you did with Kenneth Starr. The way your people repeated every little sleazy thing he leaked. No one has any idea of what that’s like.” One thing to ponder for conspiracy theorists. Peter Jennings announced that he was suffering from lung cancer on April 5th, 2005 . This inte
