Good Day Café: Grilling Steak: MyFoxNY.com

It’s that time of year! So many things to celebrate – Father’s Day, graduations . . . summer!

And how do we celebrate things around here? Why, with food, of course!

So to help us do that, here’s a video of Arturo McLeod, executive chef at Benjamin Steak House in NYC, showing us exactly how to grill that perfect steak or burger.

My favorite takeaway from this one? Heat your grill 30-45 minutes before putting on the steaks.

Now that’s a HOT grill! Makes sense, though.

Mmmm, I can hear that beef sizzling now . . .

So, it’s summer break here at our house. The kids are home. I work from home. And there are lots of cartoons on TV.

Mind you, not all day, but isn’t that what you’re supposed to do in the summer?

And I’ve discovered that even those clever cartoon-makers are steak lovers. This “Phineas and Ferb” episode features the bad guy in town stealing all the steaks and locking them up far, far away. The storage container of steaks blows up and steaks rain down. Yay!

WARNING:  If you are afraid of raining steaks, DO NOT watch this episode — especially at the end!

Say that three times fast:  Steak Skewers, Steak Skewers, Steak Skewers.

Typing it isn’t much easier.

Summertime weather is teasing us, so let’s get out there and grill!

These steak skewers marinated in pineapple juice, soy and lots of other goodness are just the ticket. So tropical and summery!

Tender and moist, the skewer marinade makes this such a satisfying warm weather meal. Best enjoyed on a patio or poolside. In my humble opinion.

Check this out for more on how to make these beauties for your family this summer!
