[food] How... odd.

[wispfox]

In a 'what the hell?' kind of way, I've found myself actively craving steak lately (a few months).

Now, I'm not a vegetarian, and have never been. Beef was, however, never something I particularly wanted until recently. I have no idea what to do with this, really.

Honestly? It sounds like you're missing some nutrient that comes in steak. May well be iron.

As for "how to cook it", I suggest with pepper and worschestershire sauce.

Quite possibly, but I do tend to take iron when I'm having my period. Perhaps I've been less good about that of late or something...

Those are applied before cooking? As a marinade, perhaps?

I suppose. The truth is, I don't eat steak like that. If I want beef, I get stew beef and toss it in with peppers and onions and such, cook it until it falls apart. This is my method for cooking all meat.

As for the iron, your iron needs may have changed recently. You can also try eating spinach, or something.

My family, we have the opposite problem, too much iron in the blood. I had a relative with cirrhosis of the liver from it, and the doctors kept insisting that he must be a drunk. *dramatic eyeroll*
