Oshkosh Country Club Board ********************************************************* If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen The kitchen of OCC was pushed to its maximum in the heat of August with the many functions the club hosted. I would like to personally thank the staff for their time and extra efforts in helping us accomplish our production goals in August. A special thanks goes out to Bryce Alvarado and John Schmidt we appreciate you holding things together during the week we served close to 1500 meals as temperatures soared in the kitchen to well over 115 degrees as my food thermometer read at the back kitchen prep table. Thanks for staying cool in the heat of battle ****************************************************** Southwest Culinary Dinner Saturday, September 25th Starts at 7:00pm Sharp! $45.00 p/p Please call with your reservations!

Steak Doneness: The Touch Test

Nature's best tool is only an arm's length away: It's your hand. While temperatures are crucial for warding off foodborne illness, the texture of beef is key for great taste. The best way to test the texture of meat is by touching it. If it feels very tender, it's rare; if it resists your finger slightly, it's medium-rare; firm meat is well-done.
