The holidays are finally over, and most of us never want to see another turkey or ham again, at least not until fall. It’s cold and snowy outside, so what would taste really good right now? How about a big, juicy steak? Not a petite filet mignon, a great big slab of prime beef so tender it melts in your mouth.
What could be more deliciously decadent than inviting a bunch of your buddies over for a carnivorous feast, accompanied by your finest cigars and alcoholic beverages? For this occasion, you need very special meat, not the kind you find wrapped in plastic at your local Kroger or Safeway.
While you may have a favorite steakhouse that delivers on the beef, the liquor is bound to be overpriced, the service perfunctory and your dining experience muted by those pesky no-smoking regulations now in place at almost all eating establishments. To have the most perfect steak-n-smoke bash, it’s time to entertain at home. Where else can you dine on the finest foods at your leisure, while imbibing any of your favorite libations and puffing on a fine cigar?
So where are you supposed to obtain the primo beef? Obviously, not the meat department of the local chain grocery, at least not if you’d like to have your guests come back again. If you live in a large metropolitan area, there may be a butcher’s shop you can trust to provide the quality of steak that you desire, but if not, there are several online vendors who specialize in delivering the finest—and most expensive—meat available.
