Almost Naked Steak

In the words of Jamie Oliver (the Naked Chef), this recipe is “dead simple.” I learned it a long time ago while working at Peak 3 Outfitters in Colorado, and I’ve found that it is an easy and flavorful way to grill steak.

I started out with my steak from Destiny Foods Direct. This company provides all natural beef, poultry, and pork–plus they donate $50 from every sale back to Children’s HopeChest.

First the recipe. You start with the steak.

Notice a few things here…

1. This steak is trimmed of excess fat. There’s a nice marbled look to it–but the unnecessary fat is gone–a major plus since fat = weight and you buy steak by the pound.

2. Harder to tell from the photo–but each of these steaks was individually vacuum packed and quick frozen. They thaw super-quick, and a fresh and ready to go.

I call it “almost naked” steak because I only use two simple and common ingredients–garlic salt, and seasoned salt.

Toss them on the grill, and then…

Liberally sprinkle a layer of garlic salt and seasoned salt on the top. Sear the bottom good–until you have nice charred lines in your steak, then flip it. Layer the seared side in salt, and sear the opposite side. Once you have a nice looking steak, reduce the heat and cook until it suits your tastes…I like rare steaks.

When finished, my look like this:

Mmmm…now time to eat. Destiny Foods Direct. will FedEx a 45-day supply of beef, pork, and poultry right to your door. Each piece of meat is individually quick frozen, and packed in a hard foam box with dry ice.

Why buy meat this way?

First, it’s cheaper. Destiny Foods Direct.adds no water or flavoring solutions to their products. These solutions add unnecessary weight and cost you more at the grocery story–10-20 percent more.

Second, it’s better. Look at those photos…the fat is trimmed for you. Who likes unnecessary fat on their steak. Yuck. Fat adds extra cost at the grocery store. Destiny Foods Direct. trims the fat for you, and only uses USDA “prime” and “choice” meat–a higher quality of beef than you are likely to find in the grocery store.

Third, it feeds twice. Every package of Destiny Foods Direct.products you buy will also provide food for orphans overseas. You feed your family with great food, and orphans are fed through a $50 per purchase donation that goes directly to Children’s HopeChest.

Last word on the Almost Naked Steak…

- Don’t over salt…adjust to what tastes good to you. These are two powerful and flavorful salts and a little goes a long way.

- You can spice up your steak with a package of mushrooms. Slice thinly, and saute in a pan with season salt and some butter…the end result is delicious.

Happy Grilling.
