Steak Ala Uncle Zio

DSC02452 277x300 Steak Ala Uncle Zio

A dish often destroyed by very white fathers, cooking the meat until all that can be tasted is the fine leather coat that was sold to a much richer friend.  This dish is crafted with the most medium rare of steaks, and topped with a nearly bruschetta like salsa.  I don’t remember where the thought of this combination came, but I can only assume it was stolen from either Jesus or some restaurant.

It’s tough, beat up, good for nothing. The underdog of the meat world.

Summertime roasts are generally a stupid idea. Oven temperatures heat up your house, which will make you fussy and can lead to arguments with your wife.
