so i saw this lovely piece of grass fed rib eye on sale for $8.99 pound. i thought wow that's a great price. so i bought it. i'm thinking this is going to be great. i went a little light on intake today just so i would have plenty of room left for a 12 oz steak. no problem. what's better with steak than blue cheese and arugula? not much. so i get home and do a little salt and pepper on the steak, fire up the grill get the salad ready and cook the steak a beautiful medium rare. i let the steak rest. i sit down and dig in and...it was kinda gross. i guess my tastes have changed since i started to eat healthier. the flavor wasn't what i remembered. it's left me feeling heavy and slightly queezy. the best part is my lips feel like i've been kissing a pound of butter. sexy. i think next time i'll not have a next time. really though i think i've grown to like a small bit of many things in a single meal.

That made me sad.
As I want some of that right now. And I can't even enjoy it vicariously through you.6 -
it's so crazy how people's bodies react differently. I RARELY eat red meat (mostly because I cook, and my 4 year old doesn't like it so much)... but now that I'm grilling again for summer, I can cook steak AND her food. I had a rib-eye the other night for the first time in over a year, and my goodness it melted in my mouth.
In fact, for me it tasted better than ever. I'm assuming fried chicken would be the same way!!!! slippery slope7 -
The day I don't enjoy a ribeye steak will be the day I know I've gone off the deep end.17

Did you forget the wine? That might be your problem.7

He just took the blue pill.

Maybe you never ate the steak, it sounds like it was all a dream, a really bad dream.3

Maybe there was a reason it was cheap...9

What's unhealthy about steak?6

I had steak tonight. Thanks for posting this - great meal idea!2

I grew up eating NY Strip steaks (family owned a meat mkt) and I still eat them now, just not that often.
Never liked ribeye; too much loose and unincorporated fat tissue which is just tossed out (adds weight and cost but not eaten) and causes flare ups when grilling. A well marbled strip steak (where the fat is integrated w/the meat) is much tasting better IMO.
Anyway, I buy a slab of NY strip at Costco and cut them myself into 1.5-2" 1-1.5# steaks which is the best size/wt for grilling or smoking, especially if you like 'em rare like I do.
Yum!!4 -
Did you check the expiration date?2

Yeah this can't be real.1

There has to be another reason! I've gone long periods without having red meat, and even the crappy stuff taste good when you go back to it!1

Steak on the smoker and a baked sweet potato. It doesn't get much better than that!0

There will be steak on the grill this weekend... along with all the meats... Yay summer!2

Have you eaten grass fed beef before? It tastes pretty different from standard corn finished beef.4

I have noticed that my sense of taste has altered as I changed my eating habits- mainly with things being too sweet for me now. I have not noticed anything different regarding meat- thank goodness.
I think that 1 trial is too small a sample size to determine you don't enjoy steak anymore. Repeatability is key to science- so buy a few more and invite some friends for dinner0 -

This. There's quite a taste difference between the two.1
