Alright, I just thought it would be a good topic of discussion.
Apparently so did Bob's Red Mill!
Google search found a contest for using steel cut oats (Bob's red mill oats) in an original recipe video! Ends 7/20/2012.

I don't suppose anyone wants to share now? Maybe after we have a winner...
Great minds think alike ! I was going to put this up this morning !
Steel cut oats or Pinhead oats for the UK, are far tastier than oat flakes. Steel cut/pinhead oats porridge
makes a very substantial breakfast for those you don't have time for lunch.
I particulary like Alton Brown's recipe where he gently toasts the oats in butter(vegan for us) before cooking them. I usually make a batch for the week, put it into a container and gently heat it up every morning. I like it served with
a drizzle of maple syrup (often sugar free) blueberries and soya or Oatly cream.
It is one of those grains that does tend to go slightly
mushy when cooked so I think it would
be great for soups or savory loaves and burgers.
This thread reminds me that I have to put this on my shopping list.
