Bushcraft is about survival, yes, survival in the wild. It's about going it alone without the convenience of supermarkets and all the so-called benefits of cubicle culture in the metrosprawl.
But just because you're out in the field like a sovereign and far away from overprieced fancified restaurants, doesn't mean you can't eat and eat well. In Trump's America this means eating steak, which is now cheap, large and plentiful. So how to do that out in the bush?
Here at the Compound we hope you find this short infovideo as helpful as we do, and don't hang around. Get out there with your 30-30 bush rifle, hunker down at the pit and sort out the T Bone!
MAGA,
LSP
I've watched this guy before. He does a great job.
ReplyDeleteFunny - our new local store has T-bones on sale this Friday (Fresh Friday - yay) for $4.97 per lb and I was planning on grabbing a few. I will be doing mine in my cast iron, though. Get the pan blazing hot, sear the steak on both sides, and finish briefly in a hot oven. Also whole beef eye of round for $2.47 - cheaper than ground beef. Makes great chili in my Instant Pot. They're also going to have tri-tip roasts for $3.77. I love tri-tip. So much flavor. It will be a meat bonanza.
I'm thinking by Sat. I'll be able to handle some steak after my ugly tooth extraction today.(It was seriously ugly even with 5 mg of Valium under my belt.)
Hahaha. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThanks, LSP.
Adrienne, I am thinking you should do a video, too. I understand the searing part, but how hot should the oven be? Wouldn't be able to do it tonight, making home made beef jerky. One of our stores has T-bone for the same price.
I would LOVE to see a whole eye of round for that price. Don't think I've ever seen Tri-tip though.
Supposed to rain this weekend. May be time for an indoor steak fry. ^_^
The t-bone will sustain you in the field, best BBQ'd over mesquite chips.
ReplyDeleteIf he just added bell peppers, and green onions to the saute mix, he would have my favorite steak...
ReplyDeleteT-bones are a fine cut of meat, Pastor. Personally, once I've politely cut all the meat I can off the bone with a knife and fork, I like to gnaw on the bone. Of course, out of site of the women folk, it's kind of a caveman thing.
ReplyDeleteYou could gnaw away at this house. We all do! Every bit of it is a gift from the Lord. Why waste any? ^^*
ReplyDeleteGreat, T-bones for everybody at LindaG's! Woo hoo! Where there's no shame in gnawin' away at the bones. I'll bring my Aunt Sally to help out in the kitchen, and she can handle the steaks for any liberals that show up. My Aunt Sally cooks steaks like an arsonist cooks a business that's failing: burns them to a crisp. Just the way hippies like them. Yum.
ReplyDeleteLinda - I usually pre-heat the oven to about 400°. After searing, it usually only takes about 5 minutes or so till done. I gauge doneness with the press test. http://www.clovermeadowsbeef.com/touch-test-steak-doneness/ I just press with my tongs.
ReplyDeleteAlways remove from pan to rest on a warmed platter. If you leave it in that hot as he** pan it will continue to cook.
I usually buy whole tri-tips at Costco and cut into steaks myself. Hang on - I think I did a post on that. I did:

Fredd - we all gnaw our bones around here. The women folk are just a bit more dainty about it.
We used to have Henry VIII dinners, too. No utensils allowed. We'd stick a whole chicken in the middle of the table and everyone could just grab what they wanted. Naturally, the sides had to be well planned so they could be eaten by hand. I'm of the opinion that food eaten with your hands tastes better.
Thank you, Adrienne!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course it tastes better when eaten by hand. Just like worm dirt when you're fishing doesn't affect the eating of the sandwich. :-P
Since it's Bushcraft Wednesday, if you gnaw the t-bone clean and hone the bone on a rock, it makes an effective push dagger.
ReplyDeletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_dagger
No, it's not as cool as a pattern welded (Damascus) steel push dagger, but if you're in cave man mode, why not. Best also get a human femur that is turned into a club...put spikes on the head and make a morning star out of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_star_(weapon) You can also take a cow's bladder and fill it with oil rendered from a pig and use it as a primitive Molotov Cocktail.
Am I not full of practical advice today?
Adrienne, sorry to hear about the tooth! I have the same issue... and excellent remove to warm platter point -- must remember that.
ReplyDeleteFry up those steaks, Linda!
ReplyDeleteExcellent tips, LL! You are most definitely a "solutions provider.
ReplyDeleteThe steak paty's at Adrienne's Fredd, but hey, you're always welcome to gnaw away at the Compound.
ReplyDeleteAdrienne, sorry to hear about the tooth! Well - the Valium was still great. heh
ReplyDeleteThe dentist actually asked if I wanted to take the tooth home. WTHell? Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! I don't even want to see it, which brought up the discussion about my vet always pouring out my doggies extracted teeth. Follow along: My dentist's last name is Frank, my vet's first name is Frank, and my doggie's name is Frankie. I made it clear to my vet (Frank) that I did not under any circumstances want to see Frankie's (doggie) teeth. I successfully stopped Dr. Frank (my dentist) from showing me my tooth (Ewwwwwwwwww!) I doubt Frankie (doggie) wanted to see his teeth either.
On the upside, Dr. Frank (dentist) has been a bit of a libtard (she's young.) Her mom is a John Birch type conservative. Suddenly, daughter dentist is getting it. She actually told me that all those "conspiracy theories" her mom talked about were actually coming true and the MSM was a cesspool of fake news and she couldn't get Apple, a company she now recognizes as libtard, to stop streaming places like CNN to her phone. Whoa! I welcomed her back from the dark side!
Well done, Adrienne!
