First Time Mom and Losing It

Months ago I didn't really eat beef or pork because of the fat content and calories. Now that I am low carb I am up for trying different cuts of meat, especially beef. I never really knew what kinds of beef to buy because I used to just get what I knew growing up. It was always those thin minute steaks that my mom would make with vinegar, onions and pepper (bistec encebollado).

I got an amazing opportunity to sample three items of my choice from Certified Steak and Seafood Company so I went with cuts I have never cooked before. I got a NY Strip, Beef Short Ribs and T-
Bone Steak. It was a bit hard picking just the right combo of meats because they had so many different ones to chose from. Not to mention some amazing seafood too!


When my order came a few days later I was curious to see how it was packaged and shipped. First I unwrapped the plastic and then I opened the top of the cooler. Inside was a bag of dry ice that was carefully sealed, had instructions right on top and a handle to easily take out. I have seen my share of cooking shows that say how you can get burned from dry ice so I could appreciate the extent of safety they went through. Then below the dry ice was my three beautiful cuts of beef.


I decided to tackle the New York Strip first and this is how I cooked it:

Perfect NY Strip

• New York Strip
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tblsp butter
