A Super Bowl party without chicken wings is like an egg without salt—awkward, and not as delicious as it should be—but supplementing with another protein is never a bad idea. Chicken is delicious, but steak feels celebratory.
Serving whole steaks to a crowd of football watchers is unwieldy and time consuming, but serving steak bites is easy and clever. Cutting beef into bite-sized bits makes it easier to serve and eat—no need to get cutlery involved, toothpicks will do just fine.
Sirloin is the most popular steak bite cut. It’s not too expensive and fairly lean, with a pronounced beefy flavor that makes it perfect for bite-sized enjoyment. Unlike a ribeye, sirloin doesn’t have much intramuscular fat or connective tissue to break down, and it does best with quick, high-heat cooking. This will help ensure your steak bites are tender, not chewy, though you really don’t have to worry about chewiness if you use a miso-marinade.

There’s magic in miso
I’ve said it before but I’m going to say it once more: Miso is an incredible one-ingredient marinade. Just smear it on, let it work its magic overnight, then wipe it off and cook your meat as usual. Miso tenderizes the meat while imparting a nutty, lightly sweet, slightly funky “aged” flavor, making your meat taste and feel much more luxurious than it is. (In fact, miso tenderizes so well, I made some “fake bites” using chewier and cheaper chuck stew meat cubes, and could barely tell the difference between the chuck bites and the real-deal sirloin bites.)
What Super Bowl? HONK HONK!
Sweetie says she has something special for me at half time. Can’t figure out what it is.
sounds good to me!
No, it's more like listening to the National Anthem without placing your hand over your heart or saluting.

Eat the steak, to hell with those losers.

Carry out the trash and pick up the dog poop
Much better party food suggestions than her column last week. 😁
I had black cod with a miso/sugar glaze at an obscenely expensive, under the radar Japanese restaurant, in West L.A. years ago. Like a Soros kind of down low place...it was the most delicious thing I will ever eat. I love miso now....
I’m marinading filet mignon cubes in a teriyaki sauce right now. I will sear it under an infared broiler from the 50s and serve over in an Asian salad. We’ve adopted the philosophy of meat as an accompaniment instead of the main.
“To hell with the NFL”
Agree.
“Carry out the trash and pick up the dog poop”
You’re probably right! She said that very same thing during the play offs. LOL

Yep, Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, two felons.

Same here, I was done feeding that traitorous beast many years ago.
