Last night I mixed up a batch of essence.  You know, the spice blend that Emeril uses on his shows.  It's his own recipe. The man in a genious.

It is strong, but it is great!!!  If you like spices and things that are spicy, this is the stuff for you.  A good sniff of it's aroma will clear your nose for you.  Cleared my girlfriend's nasal passages in a heartbeat.

Great for those of us who like cayenne, garlic, onion, black pepper, etc.  I rubbed it onto two GOOD QUALITY, ribeye steaks last night.  

OH YEAH BABE!!

I had some in my hands on Saturday - nearly bought it. I'll try some next trip.

Mix it up yourself!  It's easy, and probably cheaper:

Good question.  I think Montreal Steak Seasoning is the shiznit.

Dude, look at my post up there.

Never tried the Montreal Steak Seasoning.  Might be worth a shot.

I didn't realize you could buy Essence at the store.  Just goes to show you what life is like in southeastern New Mexico.  We miss out on lots of stuff that you guys can get in the big city.

I am always on the lookout for good stuff to rub on steaks!

Any more suggestions?!?

Yup. Great stuff. Look for this on your grocer's shelf:

Love the Montreal Steak seasoning too. I use McCormick's.

Well go get 'em for her! She deserves it! [:D]

Ummm.. the block set was a Christmas gift to her last year. I accidently threw out her good Henckels carving knife with last year's Thanksgiving turkey carcass, so I had to replace it. [:I]

Holy crap man!!! what is wrong with you!!! I have a whole set of Henkles and one day my wife calls me wih her voice trembling. I asked what is wrong?!?!?!?!

One of my Henckles went into the garbage disposer while it was running.... handle side first. I asked "So are you OK?" she said "For now I am... Im just afraid when you see this thing"

Yes, I do adore my Henckles but NO WHERE NEAR as much as my wife, still have the knife with a mangled handle (gives it character)

Oh and Emeril is DA MAN! friend of mine services the Viking product for his show, they replace the stainless doors on the frige like every 4 weeks (Dings and scratches) and EVERY SHOW gets a new set of grates a grills on the cooktop. Viking's expense.

DrFrige, as bad as I felt for chucking "the good knife" in the garbage, that's not the whole story. The day after Thanksgiving, I heard the garbage truck coming down the street, and I hurried to toss out the turkey carcass or else I'd have to wait a week.

In my rush, I tossed out "the good knife" and a big carving fork along with the turkey carcass. I realized what I'd done before the garbage truck got next door. I ran out the front door just in time to see the garbage truck emptying the dumpster bin into the back of the truck. Shit, there goes my knife.

I explained to the garbage men what happened and I said I wanted my very expensive knife back, or my wife was going to kill me. They looked for a minute or two but I got impatient and climbed up on top of that garbage truck, barefooted, in shorts and a t-shirt, and jumped down into the pile of garbage to look for it myself. I must have sifted through half of that damned stinky pile of garbage for about 20 minutes or so and I never found it.

The garbage men got real impatient and said they had to go. Can't say as I blame them. They had a job to do. I was thinking $$$$$$ and a very pissed off wife as the garbage truck went on down the street.

Well, the wife was real understanding and even laughed about it. I told her I'd replace her knife and I did, with a whole damned block set. Made her happy. Made me happy. I'm more careful about taking out the garbage now. [:)]

Hey Spectre,

I live in far SE New Mexico.  In other words half-way between Roswell(where there have never been any aliens) and Carlsbad(where the big hole in the ground is-AKA Carlsbad Caverns).  Never been to Jalisco's in Silver City.  Never been west of Las Cruces fo that matter.  Well in an airplane, I have!

So, after I started this thread I went to the store, grabbed a ribeye and some of that Montreal Steak Seasoning you guys were talking about.  Not bad at all, I must say.  Has a good salt base to it.  Seems like it might be easy to over-do it, if you aren't careful though.

Emeril is the man, I agree!!!  I would show up to watch him work in a heartbeat if I ever got the chance.  I watch him almost everyday now.  Last week he had an entire show devoted to beef.  OH YEAH BABE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Typical red-neck, knuckle dragging, flannel wearing, no-good gun nuts ... sharing recipies? Should I lock this thead or delete it fearing that the liberals will see our exposed sensitive side?

[shock]

Any one want to share a good load for varmint hunting with a .22-250?

On second thought ... this [b]is[/b] a tread about STEAK and not queche (can't spell it or eat it).
