The best way to cook steak for holiday parties

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 17:49:41 GMT

By Genevieve Ko, The New York TimesThere’s an undeniable urge to roar — or at least growl — when setting a thick steak into a ripping hot pan. Hearing the hard hiss of the sizzling fat is satisfaction enough, but then the smell of charred meat follows fast, and it’s pure pleasure from there.And no cut delivers a bigger cooking thrill — or better eating — than bone-in rib-eyes with their generous marbling and primal richness. Butchered from the same part of the cow as prime rib, the steaks have the tenderness of the roast but with a salty crust in every bite. I love serving them for parties, especially around the holidays, and have had to figure out a technique that works when hosting guests.Searing is intense cooking and, unlike grilling outdoors, best done when alone. Holistically, it’s a solitary meditation between you and the meat. Practically, it’s not great having people crowd around the stove when you need to focus and when smoke and hot fat spews and shoots out of...

Nikola Jokic on controversial ejection vs. Bulls: “Sometimes what I said is not even a technical”

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 17:49:41 GMT

CHICAGO — Reggie Jackson didn’t hear what Nikola Jokic said. So, as confusion spread across the court and across the crowd at United Center, he asked the referee.What Mousa Dagher told Jackson, and what he repeated to the Denver Nuggets’ coaching staff moments later at halftime, only added to the collective bewilderment.The Nuggets (16-9) escaped Chicago with a 114-106 win over the Bulls on Tuesday night, but in order to complete a perfect back-to-back, they once again were unexpectedly required to play the second half without their superstar center. Jokic was ejected for the second time in three weeks after aggressively challenging Dagher on a no-call.“We won both the games, so maybe that’s the key,” Jokic deadpanned afterward. “Maybe that’s the way to go.”The reigning NBA Finals MVP was thrown out with 1:08 remaining in the second quarter, the ejection coinciding with his first technical foul. Generally, a player’s first ...

Ohtani’s $700 million contract a surprise? Not to this journalist

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 17:49:41 GMT

So $700 million for baseball star Shohei Ohtani was a surprise?Not to my trusty spreadsheet.Back in July, this “unicorn” athlete who oddly excels at pitching and hitting – then with the Angels – was headed toward free agency after the season ended. Speculation swirled about the heft of his future payday. I could not resist the mathematical opportunity.My guess: a $701 million contract over 10 years, perhaps the most generous estimate one could find.Last week, we learned the Dodgers and Ohtani agreed to a record-smashing $700 million deal – though most of it will be deferred and paid in the decade after his 10-year playing commitment ends.My science was relatively simple, as I wrote five months ago: “All the spreadsheet did is take what teams are currently paying top stars and extrapolate those salaries to account for this peerless, two-way phenom.”Let’s say there were doubters. The Washington Post claimed such lofty estimates seemed “extraordinarily high for a player who recently tu...
