Rib eye and waffles barbecue

Rib eye and waffles barbecue:
A quite spontaneous barbecue started yesterday evening at our backyard. Mother bought a huge piece of rib eye and we started the weber grill. Never any kind of firestarter or paper. Take your time and have a good beer until the wood burned down and the coal is glowing. Steaks were superb – as always. And later the night I started to burn in my new waffle iron. Actually with no intentions to use it but quickly we made some pancake dough, cut some apples and made our first testrun´s. After 2 more or less successful attempts we slowly got it right. Timing and teamwork is crucial. A lot of fun and it turned out as it should – a nice dessert, no one could resist even being stuffed already.

Rib Eye Steaks:
Visiting my local butcher today, I was a bit puzzled what kind of steak he is offering here. My first guess was right it is indeed a Rib Eye but he pimped it with some herbs and wrapped with an additional layer of fat. Proudly he insured me it will preserve the meats juiciness even more with an additional crispy rim. Thats how shopping is to be done, choose carefully, talk to the butcher and give him a feedback afterwards.

Clearly they show the typical fine lines of fat which only cattle has which is not speedfeasted and has got some space to move. The “Allgäuer Weiderind” from our region is brought up in spring the higher regions, where they go freely up the mountains until there is no grass anymore. In the end of summer before the first snow they are brought back with the Viehscheid to the lowlands. And end up on the plate, bon appetit.
