Cattlemans Steakhouse and Saloon Lindenhurst NY

New steakhouse in Lindenhurst NY. We went there for my sons 16th birthday. Located on Montauk highway right on the end of a canal. The western  decor was a bit tacky but we came for the steaks not the view. Me, my wife and the birthday boy went with the 32 oz. porterhouse. At $21.99 with two side its a bargain. The meat came perfectly cooked to order and the quality of the meat itself was one of the best I have ever had at a steakhouse. The standout on the side was the baked sweet potato with a cinnamon butter. My other son went with the chicken fingers which also came with a side. The kids meal was free with the purchase of an entree.When you food arrives they also bring out a basket of house made corn bread with a chipotle infused butter. The cornbread was decent. We were contemplating an appetizer but our waitress suggested that since we going for the 32 oz steak it would be to much food. An honest waitress not trying to bulk up the check, how about that? My only gripe is that the cornbread should of came out before the steaks, I do understand it takes a bit of time to cook a large steak but we were starving by the time the food came out ( they apologized for the wait and explained why)  I cant wait to go back!!!!!!

The Claim: Rosemary Helps Reduce Toxins in Grilled Meat

By ANAHAD O'CONNOR




Cooking meat at high temperatures is known to create toxins called heterocyclic amines, 
which have been linked to some cancers. Marinating lowers the risk by preventing the formation of the toxins. But one ingredient that makes a big difference is rosemary. Studies show that adding it to ground beef and other types of muscle meat before grilling, frying, broiling or barbecuing significantly reduces heterocyclic amines.
In a study published in The Journal of Food Science in March, scientists tested extracts of rosemary on ground beef patties that were cooked at temperatures from 375 degrees to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The extract was added to both sides of the meat before cooking. The higher the concentration, the greater the reduction in heterocyclic amines (in some cases by over 90 percent.
Scientists attribute this to specific antioxidants in rosemary: rosmarinic acid, carnosol and carnosic acid. Another study two years ago compared several marinades and found that the one that was most protective was a Caribbean mixture, which, they wrote, “contained considerable amounts” of the same three antioxidants.
If rosemary is not your thing, or you have an allergy, try marinades with garlic, onion and lemon juice. They have also been shown in studies to be effective (garlic and onion much more so than lemon juice).
THE BOTTOM LINE
Studies show that marinades with rosemary help eliminate some carcinogens in grilled meat.
