February is American Heart Month to raise awareness of heart disease.

In honor of that, why not try some heart healthy steaks certified by the American Heart Association?

These steaks are very, very lean and are trimmed of all exterior fat. The beautiful thing is – that doesn’t compromise the hearty sirloin taste!

Healthy AND tasty? Sounds good to me.

THIS, my friends, is what’s known as baseball steak. And with the World Series revving up between the Rangers and Cardinals, what better time to serve them as a nod to America’s pastime?

The baseball steak is most often Top Sirloin, at least 2 inches thick, and it gets its name from the puffed up shape it has when it’s cooked. Much like a baseball!

Yours can be served with or without bacon, but really, when there’s a choice do you really say no to bacon?

Livestrong.com has a great page on several different ways to cook a baseball steak – complete with all the steps and ingredients you’ll need. Check it out here.

So get your Top Sirloin out (you can order some great beef here) and let’s play ball!

Have you seen the new Ziploc commercial?

Basically, the people throw away perfectly good sirloin steaks.

They’re trying to make the point if you use cheap storage bags you’re throwing away good food.

It’s a travesty. Tragic, I tell you!

Just look at that beautiful sirloin steak up there! Would YOU throw that away? Ugh, it makes me so, so sad.

Even in the name of artistic expression – or marketing – I cannot abide throwing out a gorgeous, perfect steak.

Look for that commercial the next time you’re watching TV and you tell me if it hurts you like it hurts me.

You CANNOT throw away sirloin steaks! Right?
