This is probably why I am trying to lose weight, but all I can think when I see that is "is that it?!"
 
Had a great lunch today. Migas, which are sauteed semolina (a bit like couscous) accompanied by belly pork, chorizo, morcilla blood sausage, grilled sardines and pippirana - a fresh salsa of onion, peppers, chilli and tomato. Sounds weird, but it's really good!

Cowboy prime Rib-eye


IMG_3867.jpg

Rev, I've been meaning to ask every time you mention a different cut. Can you explain what the cut names mean? In Britain and Spain beef cuts have totally different names. So, for example, what IS a 'Cowboy rib-eye'? Where is it from and what does Cowboy and rib-eye signify?

A rib eye is a steak cut from the middle (or “eye”) of the rib, . A "cowboy rib eye" is one that is bone in.

I usually reserve the term "cowboy rib eye" to frenched, bone in rib eye steaks that are about 2" thick or so.

Ah! I get it. Those were the kind that were outlawed in the UK during the CJD scare. I think they're permitted again now. So a T-bone is a form of rib-eye, I guess, is it?

No :prof


The T-bone is a bone-in steak from the short loin. T-shaped with a small bit of the tenderloin.

Which is inferior to the Porterhouse which is a large steak from the thick end of the short loin containing a T-shaped bone and large piece of tenderloin.

Okay, thanks for the lesson. One last thing, where does an Entrecotte come from. 'Cotte' suggests it comes from between the ribs. Can that be right?

That's a rib-eye. Though contre-filet is used with Entrecotte to denote a sirloin.

Aha! It's just that Entrecotte (in UK) or entrecote (Spain) are generally boned. Maybe that's a hangover from CJD days. Thanks, Rev.
¡Qué aproveche!
 
Wow, Rev's teaching Anda about meat, I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere :mrgreen:

yeah, my bad, it is a boneless rib-eye. :thumbs:


Actually, I think, when I do bone in rib eyes the Entrcotte is the cut between the ribs, though I could be wrong on this.
 
Actually I know I am right, it is the meat between the ninth and eleventh ribs. We still call it a "rib steak" but to be accurate the Entrecote is that specific section of cow. :thumbs:
 
Tonight will be Sautéed Fresh Gulf Shrimp in a Lemon Garlic butter sauce with Asparagus and Garlic Steamed Snow Crab Legs. I might, MIGHT bake the crab instead of steaming, I haven't quite decided.

Oh Boy! Today was seafood day. We had deep-fried chipirones (baby cuttlefish), barbecued clams (yes, I said barbecued, who'd think you could barbecue them?), char-gilled calamares and a watercress and cherry tomato salad. Amazing tucker!
 
Ummm... I had eggs pancakes and sausage for dinner....
 
I just garlic steamed the Crab, found out I'm out of Bay Leaf... how the frack did that happen??
