The BBQ Report

Last week I told you about a mail order steak shop I’m trying out called Steaks of St. Louis. Last night I grilled up a little “earth and turf” trying out their porterhouse cut pork chop and New York strip.

The pork chop was huge, moist and not too lean. A good sign. This particular shop lets you add a marinade or rub to your order, so I tried out their Sesame Teriyaki flavor on this one. It wasn’t bad, but I’d have liked more kick. Seasoning aside, the pork chop was excellent, big and thick and meaty. It grilled up nice and moist. Too many of the pork chops you buy in the local megamart are so lean they dry up on the grill, but not these.

While I wasn’t too impressed with the Sesame Teriyaki seasoning, the Malibu Seasoning on the strip streak was awesome. It didn’t overpower the steak but provided an excellent accent. I would definitely try it again. The steak itself was good as well. Not as impressive a cut as the pork porterhouse, but a good quality cut and an ample size.

If you don’t have access to good steaks in your area, or if you just prefer the convenience of buying in bulk and stocking your freezer, then I hardily recommend Steaks of St. Louis. They even have a money back guarantee that you’ll enjoy them, so I don’t see how you can go wrong.
