I don’t know if I’d call it a favorite, but there was an entree in the rotation at my grade school cafeteria called ‘Salisbury Steak’ that was some kind of freestanding spongiform potage covered in a sauce that would probably have to be spelled ‘grayvee’ for legal reasons.
I was in a steak house once, and someone proposed. I was so embarrassed. The woman started crying, and I thought, ‘She was just proposed to in a steak house – I’d be crying, too.’
Your goal when searing a steak is to make sure that the temperature and evaporation buckets are as small as possible, so that you can rapidly fill them up and move on to the important process of browning.
She was scrubbing furiously at a line of grease spots which led from the stove towards the door to the dining-room. That was where Henry had held the platter tilted as he carried the steak in yesterday. And yet if she had warned him once about that, she had a thousand times!
You go out, you order a steak. What do they do? They bring you a salad. They don’t even charge you anything for it, cause it ain’t worth anything, cause it ain’t food!
I love roast dinners, simple avocado salads, spicy Vietnamese papaya salad, all fish and seafood, a good steak.
If you’re dining with someone who wants the same cut, it’s always better to get a 16-ounce steak and split it than to order two eight-ounce steaks. The longer something cooks, the more flavor it develops, so you’ll get a better taste with a bigger piece of meat.
Vegetarians are cool. All I eat are vegetarians – except for the occasional mountain lion steak.
I love a good steak. I like my meat. I love broccoli – it’s one of my favorites – and corn, too. I mix it up with my vegetables.
There are two different things: there’s grilling, and there’s barbecue. Grilling is when people say, ‘We’re going to turn up the heat, make it really hot and sear a steak, sear a burger, cook a chicken.’ Barbecue is going low and slow.
I’m playing a cop in Chicago. So I have to look beefier – like a guy who eats steak and potatoes.
I used to have this superstition where I had to eat steak every night before I played, and my nutritionist told me don’t do that. So after I lost that one, the other ones fell off pretty quickly.
I think over-seasoning it is something I tend to do. If it’s a good steak, salt, pepper, and butter are the three key ingredients. But just try not to overcook it, and you’ll be happy.
A pig’s trotter is a fantastic thing. The first night of my honeymoon in Paris, my wife fell asleep in her steak tartare, so my trotter kept me company.
I’m not a fan of grilling meat, since that tends to dry it out, and I find grill marks leave a bitter taste. A good steak house will offer different options for preparation, and I would ask them to broil or pan-roast the steak and finish it with butter. It ends up a dark chocolate color and stays very juicy.
You’re not allowed to put anything on a steak.
I enjoy my food. I like to grill; I do that a lot. I like meat and have big dinners – steak, red meat splurges, prime cuts.
I’ve read hundreds of cookbooks. Most of those cookbooks don’t even tell you how to get a steak ready, how to bake biscuits or an apple pie.
Well if it’s outside of New Japan or Ring of Honor, I’m just worried about tacos, mostly. You gotta go corn tortilla, a little steak, a little cilantro, a little onion, and maybe a little salsa. No cheese or sour cream and all that crap.
I went through a phase of eating dinner in the shower because I thought, ‘Why don’t we do that?’ Then I realised, ‘Because it doesn’t make any sense.’ It doesn’t save any time, and you can’t really get into a steak and baked potato when there’s water pouring on you.
My favorite animal is steak.
I’m not a big steak guy.
I like to eat Wheaties Fuel for breakfast with fresh fruit and egg whites. For lunch, I like to eat my wife’s ‘homerun chicken,’ which is chicken, rice and vegetables, and for dinner I eat grilled steak or a couple of chicken breasts with rice and vegetables. During the day, I drink OhYeah! protein shakes as a snack.
Do I really want to do a mobile game that’s one of 300,000, where discoverability is everything? You really have to have a little more sizzle on the steak. I would rather be one of 100 apps for Google Glass than one of 300,000 for iOS and Android.
The night before I compete, I like to have steak. Meat is especially important for female athletes because it provides them with the nutrients they need to perform at their best.
The physics of water is central to cooking, because food is mostly water. All steak that you cook is actually boiled on the inside.
Did you ever see the customers in health – food stores? They are pale, skinny people who look half – dead. In a steak house, you see robust, ruddy people. They’re dying, of course, but they look terrific.
Food is a huge passion of mine, and because I want to eat whatever I want, I run every morning, and then I do weights a few times a week. It’s just how I can balance eating pancakes in the morning, a big burger for lunch, and then a fat steak and cheesecake at night.
I know I can eat a lot. Normally, at home, I finish my steak, eat the rest of my fiancee’s steak, and think about eating the two that are still left on the grill. I just can’t stop eating.
When I come to Chicago, I gorge myself. I get off the plane and start with Gene and Jude’s for two hot dogs with everything, swing by The Fudge Pot for a taffy apple and a turtle, chocolate clusters at Sarah’s Pastries and Candies and steak at Smith and Wollensky. I find time for Gino’s pizza within the next 12 hours.
I’m always starving in the morning, so I eat a lot for breakfast. It’s usually scrambled or poached eggs, bacon, avocado, mushrooms, or sometimes even steak.
I grew up in Doraville, Georgia and I ate barbecued ribs and chicken fried steak, and all kinds of cheesy grits, you know, and I never even thought twice about it.
Buy a steak for a player on another club after the game, but don’t even speak to him on the field. Get out there and beat them to death.
When I go out, I love steak and caviar.
I’m now happily remarried to a good cook, which encourages me to be lazy. I like to think that I’m a new man, but perhaps I’m not. I offset it by doing the ironing, though. She has a small farm in the New Forest with a herd of cattle, so she serves up a steak and kidney pie made with her own beef.
We hear time and again what a prosperous, affluent country Britain is, the sixth richest in the world. But aren’t we ashamed that people who need emergency food handouts are eating cold beans and stewed steak from the tin, or handing it back, because they can’t even heat it up?
I’m the person who wouldn’t send back my food even if I got steak when I’d ordered fish.
Emotionality is really easy for me. My father always said that Fondas can cry at a good steak.
I’ve been trying to watch my weight a bit, but when I come to Las Vegas, all bets are off. I get enough healthy food in L.A. where the food is the size of a quarter and costs $40 – when I’m in Vegas, I want a steak!
I’m a filet guy, so I like steak.
My dinner options are kept simple during Wimbledon. I have either salmon with rice, roast chicken with vegetables and potatoes, or steak with salad. My girlfriend Kim will cook, and I know each night that it will be one of those three.
I don’t eat steak often, maybe once a month. But when I do, it really hits the spot. When you’re done with your steak and your mashed potatoes and your green beans, you really know you’ve had dinner.
Sometimes sushi is just superb, and other times there’s nothing like a great big steak. It depends where your taste buds are at the time.
A blowtorch is a wonderful thing. You can get one of those for about 25 bucks at Home Depot. And there’s a ton of things that you can use a blowtorch for, in browning a steak or touching up the browning of a chicken or making creme brulee.
I usually eat a pretty big steak the night before I compete.
A good cut of steak is always a go-to splurge.
I grill all the time – burgers, ribs, chicken, steak, and fish.
In the early ’90s, my parents weren’t really drinking wine. They had a bottle or two laying around, but it had been a stigma where a bottle of wine had to be for a super special occasion. A bottle of wine had to go with a steak. And it was this thing that seemed so distant.
When I was 11 my friend’s mom made a peanut butter sandwich. I ate the sandwich and was like, ‘I’m never eating anything else again.’ And I still eat peanut butter every day. I would put peanut butter on a steak.
I like something simple and traditional, like dinner and a movie. The best way to get to know someone is to have a conversation over dinner. And steak houses have a nice atmosphere – the lights are dim, and they usually have a band playing.
I was a part- time chef. I can cook you the best steak you’ve ever had.
Brexit is turning out to be a really really bad meal. We ordered steak and chips and we’ve now got some raw chicken that smells bad.
I always thought filet mignon was the steak to beat, but the fat content in a rib eye is fantastic.
I remember watching steak being cooked on TV and wanting to try it. As a special treat, my mother cooked it for me, and I thought this would be the time I would eat with a knife and fork. Alas, I ate it with chopsticks!
