Prime Cuts TV – How to Make Fire-Roasted Sweet Onions

Justin Levy

On today’s episode of Prime Cuts TV we show you how to make rustic-style fire-roasted sweet onions.  Instead of using the grill surface, we actually show you how to make the sweet onions by placing them inside of the fire to roast.  These are a great addition to a cheeseburger, steak sandwhich, pork chops, and many many other dishes.

Note: There is a lot of background noise due to working near our hood fans and we had several tables in the steakhouse at the time of filming.  We’re also working on improving the lighting in the kitchen for episode shoots.  But, hey, we’re a working kitchen, not some TV set :)

Prime Cuts TV – Ordering Different Cuts of Steak

Justin Levy

On today’s episode of Prime Cuts TV we wanted to discuss ordering different cuts of steak.  With so many options depending on the type and quality of restaurant you visit, it can be a little confusing.  Also, you may not know really what to order and have only been ordering the same cut of steak because that’s all you know.  Well, today we explain a few of the more popular cuts so that hopefully your next adventure out, you can try something different.

Prime Cuts TV – How to Sharpen a Knife Using a Wet Stone

Justin Levy

A couple weeks ago we showed you how to properly use a sharpening steel to keep your knives in good shape in between more intense sharpenings.  The best way to sharpen your knife is to use a wet stone.  In today’s Prime Cuts TV we show you how to properly sharpen a knife on a wet stone.  In between wet stone sharpenings, make sure you continue to use the sharpening steel to keep your knives razor sharp.

As always, please be very careful when handling any kitchen knives.

Prime Cuts TV: How to Make Mate

Justin Levy

For today’s episode of Prime Cuts TV we show you how to properly make mate.  Mate is a favorite drink in many parts of the world including Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile.  Besides tasting really good, we both think it’s cool just to have all the pieces to make mate.

As always, we hope you enjoy and are able to learn something new and fun to try at home! :)

Prime Cuts TV: How to Dice a Tomato

Justin Levy

We have a very busy and long day ahead of us as we prepare for our Luigi Bosca wine dinner that we’re hosting at the steakhouse tonight.  To follow up on our episode of Prime Cuts TV from Monday on how to properly use a sharpening steel, we thought we would bring you an episode showing you how to now use your newly sharpened knife to dice a tomato.  

Tomatoes are something that can be a little tricky to cut especially if when you want don’t want any seeds in your dice.  Well today we show you how to unzip a tomato and no, we haven’t started drinking any wine yet and yes we said, unzip a tomato. :)

Warning: Always be very careful when using a knife especially to dice vegetables as the blade can get wet causing the blade to slip or your grip on the vegetables to slip.

Meat the Press Mondays: Proper Grill Management

Joseph Gionfriddo

For Meat the Press Mondays, we bring you another episode of Prime Cuts TV.  Today’s episode focuses on proper grill management.  The ability properly manage a grill is essential especially when grilling various items at the same time or trying to cook several meats all to different temperatures.

We apologize in advance for the rough audio.  Unfortunately, the only time you can shoot a video about proper grill management is when the kitchen is busy therefore we had to have our hood fans on and other staff were working around us.  If you are viewing this post in a reader, you can view the video on Prime Cuts TV.
