The Perfect Steak

The Perfect Steak

The perfect steak is different things to different people. To me it is rare and juicy on the inside and a little charred on the outside. I am shooting for a reverse seared steak. For this try I used a rib eye. Margo will only eat filet, so I may have to adjust when...

To us a pot roast should be full of flavor and so tender that you do not need a knife. After some experimenting we came up with this. We used Dr Pepper as the soda because it is not as sweet. You can not taste the soda in the roast. But you can taste it in the broth....
