SALT YOUR STEAKS?

I only eat steak about twice a year so I always go for thick Porterhouses and ribeyes to savour the flavour until next year, LOL.

Wow! Lifestyles can be worlds apart! We ALWAYS have good meats when camping. Our first evening after arriving at our first camp site for the year, we always have some nice cheese and a good wine. It's just been a tradition after about 30 years or so!

First morning of the camping season is always T-bone steak and Eggs, with homemade hash browns.

After that, it's always a mix of beef, chicken, and pork. But always "good stuff". I don't think we've had hamburgers or hot-dogs camping in the last 15 years. (we also don't have kids with us any more).

We have a local small independent grocery store that still cuts their own meat and it's GOOD stuff! All of it, even the cheaper cuts. No need to salt anything like that! I cook with a bit of margarine (instead of grease) on a flat griddle, covered with a lid. I keep basting the meat from the drip pan over and over and over until cooked to perfection. There's enough salt in the margarine to season the meat. So we eat VERY GOOD, every meal... T-bone, Porterhouse, Ribeye, center cut pork chops, ribs, ham steak (great for breakfast), and bulk bacon (Not that pre-packaged stuff that's so salty you gag!)

Salt... nah! Start with good meat and you don't need to do this step!

Um ... we do eat hamburgers! But usually when on the road when traveling!

If anyone has ever followed my posts in the past, for us camping is all about the food! Cooking well, and eating well! We don't do hiking any more! We eat!

We still eat dogs and burgers (and yes still kiddos around; one of them is in his '70's;)) but the franks have to be from Hummel Brothers and I grind my own meat for burgers. So far we just camp around the ocean and lakes in the NE so we eat a lot of fish. When I grill steaks it's pretty much a ritual for us too: last night. Makes the packing go easier when you've eaten well:).
