My only try for sourdough was after finding some Concord grapes covered in airborne yeast and putting them in a slurry of flour for a few days.
It made a quite sour starter. Unfortunately, it died while we were on vacation.

Tri tip or Santa Maria steak.
We grill it with Salt, fresh ground Bkack Pepper, Onion and Garlic powder, squeeze of lime and rubbed with Olive oil.
Seared fast and then cooked off flame slowly.

Do you have a method for us to try?

Is there a way to consolidate the two food threads? They seem to have the exact same purpose.

I usually baste the steak with butter towards the end with some sprigs of thyme or rosemary to get the flavour and then remove them later. I pan fry them mostly but i don’t use black pepper before frying because i was led to believe pepper burns, but i do use salt.

Yes please.
After almost 10,000 posts on Boing Boing BBS before the change, I thought I would come over to elsewhere.cafe and continue.
I think perhaps two food blogs is to many. I am considering if I should stop. The old BB BBS was the past I guess. I had hoped for elsewhere to be a natural continuation of the conversation.
Perhaps it’s my ego showing.

Very excited whenever we find these. We will have some with yogurt tomorrow. Cheers.

A huge Korean market “Jagalchi” just opened a 10 minute drive from us in Daly City.
It is 75,000 square feet!
I was turned on to Korean food when I was
10yo, my Father brought an “exchange” Korean Engineer home for our family Thanksgiving.
Next weekend Young Su Park covered the same family table with food from his native Korea.
I will never forget, the Banchan side dishes alone were incredible.
Cheers!

We have a Super H Mart in driving distance from us, and we really should go sometimes soon… I should also go to the Buford Highway farmer’s market, too…

As I said, I have a soft spot and warm memories of Korean food. Three types of Kimchi in our fridge right now.
Yes I even eat Kimchi on my hot dogs sometimes.
Cheers!
