Marrying simplicity and succulence, steak is a food everyone can understand, and one of the very few to inspire genuine craving. Steak is William Rice's avocation, his passion, and he's researched different preparations and flavors of steak from all over the world. A collection of over 140 recipes, steak lover's cookbook is divided between fancy uptown cuts (e.g., tenderloins, porterhouses, ribs) and the plainer but just as tasty downtown cuts (skirt, chuck, flank, round). It includes the Best-Ever recipe for each type, plus dozens of inviting alternatives, not to mention Steak Fries, Outrageous Onion Rings, and Mississippi Mud Pie. It's a steakhouse at home. 84,000 copies in print.

Maybe it was the fact that I read this while I was on a 30-Day "Reboot" fast of only juices I had to make every day from fresh fruit and vegetables, but this cookbook was pretty good. Everybody's got their own way of making a steak, but this one not only had a ton of recipes on what to do with every imaginable cut of steak, it also had some pretty good-looking side dishes I'm going to try one of these days. Like Outrageous Onion Rings and Mississippi Mud Pie.
This was not the book I expected when I bought this. It will give you a lot of information about meat and steaks, I know...I know...it's a steak book but I was expecting more...
