Dinner time

[jdh5484]

Lunch: 24 hour Dry brine then pan seared Wagyu ribeye and roasted veggies. First time trying roasted turnips. Last time. Texture is fine ... I don't like the taste. Edit: I hate the aftertaste. Yeck.

I heated the cast pan to 400F this time. Brought steak straight out of the fridge and into the pan. Seared 2 mins on one side, 1.5 mins on other.

I liked this one more than sous vide then sear. Better flavor and tasted more like a steak. Definatley melt in your mouth. Zero gristle.

Next time I think I'll go with a white hot pan to sear ... then finish at a much lower temp.

Salted



After 24 hours in fridge. Note the salt is gone from the meat but remains on the fat. ( I wiped the excess off before cooking)

Also note how much redder the meat is now. You'll see the same when it's cooked. Shows the salt penetrated.

Kinda funny, the libs want grass fed beef and condemn fed cattle. The truth is if you want a fabulous great tasting steak it has to have plenty of marbling. When you cut a steak with a knife and fork it always tastes better for me with a little portion of fat to go with the muscle.

I want fed cattle and I condemn grass fed Libs.

Looks amazing and beautiful. Did she make it?

Also, what’s the “P” for at the end of your post?

Yes.

The last “P”, well that’s not that simple.

Lunch: A5 Wagyu ribeye - cut in 3/4" x 3/4" strips. Soaked in Worschestshire sauce. Pan seared. Accidently cooked well done. And ... best steak I've ever had. Melt in your mouth. Zero grissle. Even well done. Super moist (or greasy).

Looks great. But if you keep eating steak and cheese, three meals a day, you’re going to die trying to walk to the pier once summer really shows up.

Also meant to ask if you’d tried Food Shack, or Hog Snappers in Tequesta? If you haven’t, both are worth a visit.

I'll put them on my list.

I'll just roll down the pier. I'll tell people I identify as a cylinder.

Floor Steak Sammich: homemade sourdough bread, provolone, and strip steak cut perfectly (cook, then drop on the floor, or at least that's how I prepare mine). :(

You’re gonna get serious heat for this. I commend your honesty.

That’s what all that yelling was about! It was good steak.
I’m surprised you didn’t have to fight the dogs for the floor food. Besides, I drop your food on the floor all the time and you’ve never complained.

I just discovered microwaved cheese crisps.
Sprinkle taco seasoning on them and they taste just like cheese-its.

I find it fascinating how you and @Seedy cohabitate, yet often communicate through a public forum on the internet in lieu of face to face conversation.

Wild caught shrimp sautéed in oil, butter and stock, with garlic and red pepper, topped with flat leaf parsley over orzo.

Wait, everyone else doesn’t do that too?

It’s easier to post it here than to yell “WHAT?!?” across the house.

I’m beginning to think your house is exceptionally large.

So, if nothing else is pressing, I try to do something special on Sundays of a 3 day weekend, especially if the kids are around. Growing up around Mrs G and I, they learned to appreciate fine food long ago, but only recently have they learned about the proper beverage on the side.

In any event, I had time to spend three+ hours in the kitchen today and the results were as good as hoped. We enjoyed a first course of asparagus with scallops, browned butter, and prosciutto. Our main dish was Bucatini with sausage and peas. The key for the pasta was the fresh basil tossed on top. It added a really interesting twist on the palate. Since the rule is “pics or it didn’t happen”:
