so the other morning my daughter was on her way back from taking my son in law to work... he is legally blind and cant drive.
on the way home around 5 am she met George. George introduced himself by gathering his friends and running in front of her SUV. his friends made it, George did not...
so after the police, a check over and some settling of nerves, we found George chilling out in the middle of the road. we felt George wanted to ride in the back of the truck, and see our stainless steel table. as George was dispatched with a 2000+lb vehicle we salvaged what we could. a few small roasts and two mostly intact backstraps..
so here it is, Backstrap ALA George
