When Hunger's at Steak ~ or Nothing Beats Beef

I like your poem John. Short and interesting. Thanks for posting. May you take a look at my poetry whenever you get a chance. Thanks

This is awesome! As a mom of three cattle-raising sons and steak and red wine lover, I completely agree with you!

Like or not after reading this I will have to get myself a steak. My favorite restaurant meal used to be a piece of fillet mignon and lobster tail.

John, I found this good article on flatiron steak. I disagree that they have to be grilled though. https://www.thespruceeats.com/flat-iron-steak-for-...

They are part of the chuck area on the cow, and another article I read said that they used to be trashed because they were contiguous to a fatty area. It says that if the grocer gives you a blank look when you request a flatiron steak, then ask for a top blade steak, which is another name. I prefer a good marinated flatiron cooked on the top of the stove to going out to a steakhouse. Enjoy.

I think this is an excellent poem and steak sure looks good right now. LOL I think you have met the challenge and then some.

Sorry for the typo. No 'have'

Belated happy birthday John... Wish you lots of luck and have merriment.

Forgot your birthday. Happy returns.

Excellent! No surprise there, but this one can make one hungry.

I was drooling after reading this. Mmm, I love steak especially one cooked on the outdoor barbeque. I actually love to cook. Especially on the outdoor grill. I'm a bit of a pro when it comes to cooking steaks. Gough, I wish I had a T-bone right now. Lol.

John,

Your poem inspired me.

I took the challenge.

I love it. I am a steak lover. I often cook tenderloins with balsamic vinegar or red wine (if I have some lying around). Rump roasts are yummy too and I use the leftovers in sandwiches. Love this poem. Take care.

Happy Birthday John:)

Is today your birthday, John? Happy Birthday, my friend!!

Excellent poem and the recipe is sure to make the readers crave for it.

Perfect response to the challenge. Thank you for sharing.

Happy Birthday John. Wish you a wonderful day, and a happy, healthy year ahead.

What a lovely piece, John. My imagination was fueled. I hope to eat such steak. How I crave for it now.

realistic view on current situation

Enjoy that steak now, because they are talking about meat scarcities next, at least in the US. Coronavirus has hit the butchers hard, and I heard they have to slaughter 100,000 pigs a day and throw the meat away because it is too expensive to keep them alive. That seems unbelievably cruel. But I still won't give up pork chops.

Your lovely poem was so upbeat and now I've made it a bummer. Stay well.

You made my mouth water, but a steak is a bit much for a midnight snack. LOL. Is there anything you can't write a poem about?

Jodah......You not only teased me to eat steak tonight....you convinced me to accept Chris's challenge! (I really don't know how you did that!).....

You got my mouth watering.

Steak is by far my favorite meal...especially cooked over a grill.

I did have one over the weekend, but i could enjoy every day if it is cooked just right with tender juices in each bite.

Now i need some more warm weather...

Ha ha, I love your poem, John. I like a good flatiron steak cooked as only my private chef (my husband Larry) can cook them. They're economical, too. A nice sized flatiron usually makes two meals for the two of us. You make me wish I had one in the house tonight.

John, because of your poem, we are actually having steak for dinner tonight!

John, you've succeeded in making me hungry. I love a good charbroiled medium rare steak. I prefer sirloin because it has less fat overall. Just enough to make it tender and juicy.

Damn I wish I had a steak right now!

Don't let the secret out, because I'm not supposed to eat red meat, but I make myself a perfect, medium-rare, filet mignon every week. A little peppercorns, a dash of salt to taste, and a side of garlic asparagus; maybe I throw a little corn on the cob doused in Parmesan and Tapatio seasoning if I'm feeling extra naughty.

Thanks for making me hungry, and for the poem as well!

The picture of the steak looks so yummy

I want some in my tummy

Love your poem!

Good poem. I haven’t eaten beef since 1996. Went cold turkey and didn’t look back. Don’t miss it either.

Smart title. Robust poem. Hope you can eat your favorite food soon.

A very fine poem about steak. Now, there is nothing I want more now than a big juicy char-grilled medium rare steak.

My son works at a steakhouse, and when he comes home, he makes me hungry. He works in the kitchen and reeks of good steak. Luckily, he heads to the laundry room first thing, so I haven't bitten him yet. I still don't know how they taste. After reading your poem, I am smelling it again. I am hungry already.

All I can say is those meals in the pic loooks deeeelicious!!

I think that you met the challenge and hit it out of the park! A fine dinner with a glass of wine and shared with good company sounds fantastic. Perhaps in the future that will once again be possible.

I can almost taste it through your well-worked poem. Probably not one for vegetarians though!

6:30 a.m. and I'm drooling. Thanks a lot, buddy!

That's just what I counting on, John, a well crafted poem about something good to eat. Great job. I love it.

The picture and the poem about steak makes me really hungry, John. I do hope I can have steak sometime soon while now I would like to go for afternoon coffee. Your poem(s) always bring smiles to everyone including myself. Have a blessed day.

Well you certainly painted a great picture, with words.

Your poem creates a hunger for a sit down meal in lock-down.Just what we all need! Thanks John.
