Our son, Terry, always comes up with great Christmas gifts for the kitchen. This past year he gave us a grill to use over a burner of the stove here in Cairo. We brought it with us and were excited to use it.
Finding good grilling meat here is not easy. A friend suggested we try the entrecote at Carrefour. Entrecote is the French name for a thin rib-eye. We picked out a couple of thicker pieces with some nice marbling and fired up the grill/stove.
The results were very good. It was not as good as we find in Bloomington but the price was $5.00/lb vs $14.00-19.00/lb.
Our second try at a steak dinner was much less satisfactory. The butcher cut the steaks too thin (French style?) and there was very little marbling. I called it tough beef and Linda declared it nearly inedible. In fact, she cut up a sizeable portion and fed it to the appreciative cats. The grill has worked very well for chicken though, without any problems..
