Amazon.com Review

The Steaklover's Companion by Frederick J. Simon, executive vice president of Omaha Steaks, the mail order meat company, serves up information as plain and unadorned as a slab of meat in a steakhouse. There's some history in the introduction written by Merle Ellis, a.k.a. "The Butcher," a food personality who focuses on meat. He also explains where steaks come from on the steer and how the various cuts differ. The meat of the book consists of 170 recipes, many contributed by chefs. These tend to be kind of gussied up for steak, including dishes like Thyme and Fennel-Rolled Strip Steaks with Pickled Okra and Creamy Coleslaw. Better bets are the regional and international steak dishes such as Philadelphia Cheesesteak Sandwiches and Japanese Beef Teriyaki

5.0 out of 5 stars A Protein Lover's Dream..., March 5, 2003

By	Tiffany Follett (St. Paul, MN United States) - See all my reviews

I have been on the protein diet for nearly 4 years now and have been successful, however you do get so sick of plain old steaks. This book is a godsend. The first recipe in the book is from Emeril Lagasse and looks wonderful. That's the next one I am going to make.

I made the Strip steaks stuffed with Garlic and Creamy Chard. This recipe is phenomenal. This book is definitely worth every penny.
