ON COLD WINTER NIGHTS WHEN I CAN’T SEEM TO SHAKE THE CHILL FROM MY BONES, I GET A CRAVING FOR BEEF. SOUPS AND STEWS ARE WARMING AND FILLING, BUT NOTHING QUITE SATISFIES MY ATAVISTIC NATURE BETTER THAN A BEAUTIFULLY-COOKED PIECE OF RARE BEEF. I LIKE THE WEIRD CUTS — SKIRT, FLAT-IRON, TRI-TIP, AND HANGER. HANGER IS SO NAMED BECAUSE IT HANGS BETWEEN THE RIBS AND THE LOIN. IT IS SHAPED LIKE A SMALL TENDERLOIN, BUT WITH A BETTER TEXTURE AND MINERAL FLAVOR. IT’S ALSO ABOUT HALF THE PRICE OF FILLET MIGNON. THE STEAKS ARE COOKED IN A CAST IRON SKILLET. THE SAUCE IS FINISHED IN THE SAME PAN. ADDING MARROW AT THE END LENDS A DEEP, BEEFY RICHNESS TO THE SAUCE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH. I GUARANTEE YOUR GUESTS WILL DEMAND SECONDS.

Dear John,
I was looking for a recipe for Christmas Eve, and remembered this one which was a major hit. I couldn’t remember what it was called, all I remembered was how difficult it was to find marrow bone, but after downloading the G7 chicken, it popped up. I just can’t believe it was so long ago.
Thanks for all of this.
Hope you and Lynn have a lovely holiday. We know you will have great food.
Let’s hope we will all survive this new administration
See you soon.
Love,
Dianne
