Chicago Bear Steak Recipe


Green Bay Packer Fans usually like their steaks cooked on the grill, and I found a great recipe for the best grilled beef steak.

But since the Packers will be meeting the Bears this week, it's a great opportunity to replenish our supply of bear.

How does Chicago Bear Steak simmered with onion sound? The Chicago Bear steaks are not only tender, but that awful aftertaste of the midnight blue, orange and white coat have been tempered by the addition of onions.

The best Chicago Bear Steak will be available after kickoff on September 25th, but stock up on the onions and beer so you'll be ready to cook up this tasty post game dinner. Once you get your hands on the pulverized Chicago Bear meat, Packer fans only have a few steps left to prepare the meal. You can easily do it during half time.

Pound the living hell out of the Chicago Bear Steak with a meat tenderizer. If the Packers have already taken care of this job, as this sports fan suspects is the case, just wash the Bear steaks off with some beer from the can I know you’re drinking, and dredge them in some flour with a bit of salt and pepper.  (If the bear meat has been overly beaten into submission on the field and falls apart by the time you get it, check out the way Grandma Butts Inn prepares Chicago Bear Meat Balls.)

Drop the floured and seasoned Chicago Bear steaks into a hot skillet of oil and sliced onions and brown on both sides. Drain off the excess oil. Chicago Bear steaks are known to be a bit greasy, so make sure you remove that disgusting mess from the skillet as well.

Add enough water to the skillet to cover the Bear steaks. Cover the pan and let the meat simmer, or stew, just like Lovie Smith is on the sidelines, until you’re ready to enjoy your meal.

Chicago Bear Steak on a fall afternoon is a rare treat. In fact, the last time the Frustrated Freelancer remembers enjoying such a wonderful  treat is back in January as our Packers made their way to the Super Bowl. I'm still not sure which victory was sweeter.

I plan on stocking up on enough Chicago Bear Meat to last  right through the REPEAT Super Bowl Victory party.

Perhaps I’ll add some peppers and my favorite sauce, put it on a hoagie roll and enjoy a great Chicago Cheese Steak Sandwich, Packer style.

Frustrated? Not so Much


 It’s been a while since I've posted here. I haven’t really been all that frustrated with anything but my time management plan, but have been so busy that I didn't have time to even give that the attention it needed.
There have been a lot of changes in the content writing profession recently that have demanded my attention. Not only are there major changes in the way content writers write to be recognized by search engines, many business changes to the sites we submit to have writers busy realigning their income streams.

I’ve also been lucky enough lately to pick up several additional private clients whose needs have kept me busy with researching, writing and the bookkeeping and other paperwork details that come with running a successful freelance writing business.

A successful freelance writer doesn’t waste time complaining about changes. We take the opportunity to learn and grow. We recognize these changes as a way to improve not only the way we express ourselves, but as a way to hone our skills in recognizing and adapting to trends that will serve us well in the future.

Unfortunately, finding the right balance to meet the needs of my private clients, reading about the current online content changes and the social media discussions as freelance writers try to find their way through the shifting maze of changes has left me less time to dedicate to my own websites and blogs. I recognize this as something that has to be remedies as quickly as possible.

So, as busy as I am struggling to give attention to each little piece of my writing life that has to be dealt with, I really haven’t been frustrated at all. While that may be a good thing, it doesn’t offer a lot of inspiration to write for the blog entitled The Frustrated Freelancer.

So now I’m off to learn more about time management. Luckily, I know of a freelance writer who seems to be an expert on the subject. If you’re have a problem finding time to balance your career, families and personal passions, meet me over at
