A hunk of meat or fish on fresh greens has got to be one of the best combos around. Who doesn’t like this?

This week at the Brooklyn Flea, there was a new vendor who brought in fresh, organic meats. Rarely do I buy my meat organic, so I thought I would try this schmack out. And you know what? I for sure tasted different. Turns out that happy cows means happy bellies.

I bought a strip steak that was so damn heavy my bike wobbled on the way home. The plan was for a no-sauce, no-marinade, no-nothing plan. I wanted a pure meat taste if I was going to really check out what this whole “organic” thing was about.

Damn. We grilled the steak on the stove, placed it on top of plain mesclun, sprinkled some feety blue cheese on top, drizzled a red wine vinegarette to boot, and we had ourselves a meal.

You’re jealous.
