Steak with Mac & Cheese
We got a nice break in the winter weather here today (it crept above 50 degrees), so we decided to grill a couple of small steaks (strip & shell, I think) on the small gas rig, before the expected rain hit. One steak was marinated, the other had a dry rub. They had been sitting in the freezer for a month or so, as we waited for this opportunity.
We also made a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese, augmented with cream cheese and other good stuff (thanks for the idea, Txdragon). The results were pretty good, even though I overcooked the steaks a little bit:

Re: Steak with Mac & Cheese
Thanks, everyone.
Russ, we cooked a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese to package directions, except we used butter instead of margarine & whole milk instead of the 2% they called for. Then we added some shredded cheese (a cheese mix from Aldi that's basically cheddar & jack), some cream chesse (a la Txdragon) and a little hot sauce for a bit of spicing up. If I left anything out, SK will chime in.

I'll bet you could even sprinkle some bacon bits on that and call it Lunch

Ok, y'all answer me this. You ALL seem to like a med rare steak, but with brisket and PP etc you cook it to well and probe tender, so what is the difference??? Same protein, just a different cooking method

Re: Steak with Mac & Cheese
Speaking for myself, I cook steak Rare because I like the taste that way. That red stuff that runs out is not blood, it's pot liquor As far as Briskets are concerned, we never got along anyhow.
Think I'll quick defrost a steak for Lunch "thanks for reminding me"
