How to make a good Dominican steak: go to Texas, Oklahoma, or Kanas. Buy a steer. Give it a name, get some vet. papers and a super sized travel crate for it. Bring it back with you on the plane as a pet. This might take some fast talking at the airline check in station. This method avoids the likelyhood that if you had just simply brought some meat back with you, it would end up on the dinner table of the customs agent ... but then again, they're so corrupt, you might loose the whole damn cow. Once back in the D.R., butcher it. Voila... good steak. With all due respect to Sr. Chip, I think using my method you're more likely to get a decent piece of beef on your plate than following Chip's well intentioned recipe.
