I always say, “A great griller is an informed griller.”

Okay, I don’t always say that. That wouldn’t make me very fun at parties. But it makes sense, right?

Enjoy!

So, I’m not a chef. Far from it. I’m just a regular Joe (okay, Joanne) who loves beef and wants to keep it interesting in the kitchen.

I know there are things I should know. . . but don’t.

Huh. That seems so elementary. But somehow I had missed that lesson.

What do you have a question about when you’re cooking a tantalizing steak or roast or beef tips?

Here’s a nifty little place where you can ask a real-live chef your burning questions about beef. Get it? Burning?

I’ve done that a time or two.

Just click on the “Ask the Chef” box to the right on this web page and submit your question(s).

It’s that simple!

Have fun perfecting your beef techniques with a chef’s advice! And the best part? It’s free!

Esquire has a great series called “Ask a Beautiful Woman” and there are endless subjects covered by these lovely ladies.

Check it out! And while you’re eating your perfectly grilled steak, thank a beautiful woman!
