As you all know (or maybe not), I grew up in Nebraska.
And Hubs is also from Nebraska. And his family owns a ranch. And they have lots of cows.
And beef is really important to them.
And, even though they are family, and I love supporting them, eating beef has always been really important to me.
I love a well-cooked steak. LOVE IT.
If given the choice of any meal I could have, it will always be a good steak, good veggies (like fresh asparagus, broccoli, or green beans), french bread, and a twice-backed potato.
And that is because My Plate, My Eating Personality is a Lean Lover.
The Kansas Beef Council has a ton of resources on their website. For example, I love this eCookbook that contains a TON of Lean Beef Flavor Boosters. (Which is code for rubs, marinades, and cooking techniques. I’m ALWAYS on the lookout for a new marinades and rubs.)
And my new favorite recipe from the Beef Council (it was a 2009 Beef Cook-off Winner) is… Pomegranate Steak with Quinoa. (Steak & Quinoa…my two favorite things!)
And because the Beef Council wants Kansas City Mamas Readers to experience the yumminess that is BEEF, they are giving away $50 VISA Gift Cards to (2) readers so they can make a great beef meal at their own house.

Disclosure: The Kansas Beef Council provided the giveaway prize, and I receive the same giveaway prize as well. However, the written remarks are entirely my own because I did grow up in Nebraska and like cows. Want more information – check out my full disclosure statement.
