I much prefer a home ground chuck burger myself... and I don't much
care for sirloin steak... I consider sirloin better for braising as a
stew meat. I'll somtimes cook a NY Strip or Porterhouse but we don't
eat steak very often, after 2-3 times it gets boring. For beef we
much prefer a thick beef barley 'shroom soup made with top round. I
keep a selection of dehy 'shrooms on hand, they have much more intense
flavor than fresh 'shrooms... and dehy 'shrooms keep in the cupboard
for years and years. Actually I stopped buying those tasteless fresh
button mushrooms years ago, they're a big rip off... canned are
better.
