On a hot summer afternoon, there is nothing better than putting a rib eye steak on a scorching hot BBQ in my backyard. As the flame slowly chars the meat, the fat gradually sizzles, reigniting the fire below. This action makes very distinctive grill marks on the back of the meat.

When it is time to flip the thick piece of meat, it is extremely important to be careful not to burn our hands since the grill is probably 150C. After another 5 minutes of cooking, with corn and some buttered asparagus, my mouth-watering steak dinner is ready! The moment I chew on the meat, the tenderness and juicy flavour explode inside my mouth and my palate starts dancing all over my tongue. 

I can only close my eyes to enjoy this lovely dinner with a glass of red wine. Although consuming an excessive amount of red meat is unhealthy, I will never give up my steak with another kind of protein.

Life is good!
