NY Strip with Compound Butter

txngent · Postby **txngent** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 1:40 pm

Its been a while since I posted... life has a way of rapid firing punches this year for the ol'gent. Decided to just say the heck with budget and make my wife and I a thick ars steak. Made some compound butter to melt the whole flavor thing together. Warning... this is not too heart friendly. :twisted:

Compound butter contains salted butter, bacon drippings, beef fat (rendered from brisket trimmings), olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, Sucklebuster's Steak seasoning, parsley.

I gotta say - that is some kinda compound butter. That was one fine looking meal. As thick as those steaks were, the price didn't look to bad!
Nice job!

Thanks yall.... no money in these pockets.... HEB was running Strips on sale for 3.99/# . The car biz has been going down as the price of gas has been going up, so all year has been a financial nightmare. Then Ike came and done about $50,000 in property damage. Damage that insurance doesn't cover, and FEMA doesn't cover people like me. :cry:

Anyway, I know there are people way worse off than me and my family so we just keep going.

Lord blessed us on a couple of counts with Ike... my upright freezer had 15 briskets, 10 racks of ribs, 2 turkeys, and couple family packs of chicken wings. We were without power for three days before I bought a generator. I thought for sure it was BBQ for the whole neighborhood. I knew for sure the soft tissue like turkey and chicken were gone or needed cooking. AFTER THREE DAYS everything was still completely frozen!

The other thing Ike helped me out with.... I had a hickory tree that stood about 125' tall and about 7' round. Keyword "had"! Now about 6 months from now, I will have seasoned wood for a year or so! :twisted:

Oh, on the fat part of the compound butter. I don't use but about a teaspoon of each, and it really works good on the steak while it is still on the grill. It also works good with grilled bread on the pit. Doc said as long as you eat Cheerios for a couple of weeks you will be fine!!!

I WILL make me some of that butter, even if it kills me, which it might

Everything looked great and I'm glad you all made it through Ike in one piece. Hope things pick up for you!

Aw man... that looks awfully good! Like your attitude of "keep goin"

My doc sez "watch your diet" and I sez "yeah... okay" but I am thinking... "yeah right".

Thanks for sharing the pics...

Thanks yall. Found out so far that I was denied for my SBA personal loan. FEMA updated my claim, and now saying I qualify for a grant. And you actually have to ask why our government is in financial crisis?!! I wanted to get a loan and pay back my debt... government says no because you MIGHT not pay it back. Soooo, we will just give you money. :evil:

Anyway, back to the positive. Those steaks were every bit as good as they looked in those pics. I forgot to add the Worsh sauce as a ingredent to the comp. butter. Don't let the fats added to the butter scare yall. To a stick of butter, I only add two teaspoons of bacon drippings, and one teaspoon of beef render, three teaspoons of olive oil. I like to put a couple of pats of the compound butter on top of the steaks about two minutes before taking off the grill. I also will spread some on french bread and add so cheese, then warm it up on the grill.

Well, I will leave yall with that as I am working on my SBA business loan application for all my losses.... if I am lucky they will just deny that and give me a new dealership. :roll:

Good news today.... I sold about $10K in deer feeders and stands from my Conroe Outdoors business. That will get me almost 80% out of hock!
