They cut off, at least my two do, about 50% of the meat in their quest to get rid of the fat. They leave so much meat left over a person could make meal out of it.

Maybe the steak should have been prepared right to begin with. Gotta trim that fat off or it melts on the grill and makes the steak taste bad.

Some people just don't know how to cook.

Not at all. When that fat melts and hits the coals it releases all kinds of chemicals that are bad for flavor, and some idiot scientists actually think they're carcinogens. I used to think fat = flavor but I tried it once cutting off all the excess fat and it tasted worlds better.

I trim the fat on mine, although, I don't cut off any meat during that operation.

I also score the edge a few times so the steak doesn't curl up when cooking.

If the fat on your steak has enough time to melt, and hit the coals, you're cookin' it too long.

How do you suppose to "trim the fat" out of a good marbled ribeye? Answer:

You don't. That's what makes it taste so damn good.

Obviously you have to leave that in

And as far as cooking it too long goes, that happens after only a few minutes.

Major loss of man/grill chef points.

Anyone who doesn't beleive me that it tastes better is welcome to try it out for themselves.

ETA: I'm not trying to sabotage anyone's beef here

You need enough fat left when you start to cook it so that it melts and makes the meat juicy. Too lean, and it dries out. Blah. Who likes DRY steak??

However, a nice 1.5lb cut shouldn't be .75lb of fat.

Okay, to put this thread back on topic, I will answer the orginal question -

Because women are nuts!

Of course there are bloody carcinogens on the meat. You could excise every microgram of fat off the steak and there'd still be carcinogens aplenty.

Have you ever heard of Kobe beef? It is richly marbled in fat and therefore considered a premium type of beef.

I expect some of it is personal preference, but I want FAT on my steak. And carncinogens too. De-fatted steak, might as well eat tofu.

That's what the marbled fat is for.

Venison has fat? Marinade, hot hot hot grill, 5 or 6 min tops MMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

When you get done eating a steak the only thing left should be a smudge where the steak was.

...and that's only if you don't have a roll so that you can't sop it up.

More marbling = more flavor.

That's it. They know you can drink 'em pretty but you can't drink 'em skinny.

My wife pats the top of pizza with a paper towel to soak up the grease.

She just doesn't understand that those little pepperonis with the little puddles of grease in them are the best part of the the pizza.

I wish that was the only problem I had with feeding my GF steak. She calls a nice rib-eye a "slab of flesh" and has brought me a "ribcage" she couldn't stomach that was ordered for her at Tony Roma's. Things could be worse! Rob

A woman has to know which meat is always edible.
