Dinner time

[Alumni Guy]

Steak Salteado, Spanish steak and rice.

Fry up some chorizo, remove from pan. Crank heat up and brown some filet in grease. Leave raw in middle of steak. Remove steak and deglaze yummy residue on pan with some red wine.

Add mushrooms. A ton of garlic, onions and a touch of cream (I used whole milk) to create sauce. Return steak and chorizo and let simmer for 10 minutes to cook steak. I personally think smoked paprika is an amazing spice so I use heavily.

Serve with yellow rice with peas and roasted red peppers. Can’t beat it. The photo is leftovers, so not it best form:

Traditionally served with fried potatoes, but I think it’s overkill.

Quick meal this evening. Had a pkg of tuna in the freezer and decided on tacos. Made a cilantro lime slaw and pan seared the tuna. After putting the tuna on the tortillas, topped it with some slaw, cheese, and a little homemade yum yum sauce…



The slaw turned out really well. It was a small bag of coleslaw mix, cilantro, a serving spoon of mayo, maple syrup (to taste), S&P, and the juice of one lime. Mix and let it sit while preparing the yum yum and searing the tuna. When we go to Mex Beach, we always go to the Killer Seafood truck and get the tuna tacos. These were pretty close. Their fish is usually fresh caught and not IQF, however.

Cheated. In Boise where the Basque community is big. Lamb Grinder with croquetas. That onion & pepper just sat there to die.

The 50# box was picked up and put in the back of the car.

Never understood why Shrimp & Grits had to be a runny soupy mix.

NV apparently. We’ve talked about it. I don’t think there’s anything more we can do.

Agree. Don’t like the combo in general, personally, but to me neither party are well served here. Shrimp are great on their own, and grits are a world wonder.

Still think the dish looks great.

Were they in Idaho?
Nice fries.

 

[CDGator]

Flat iron steak stir fry on the Blackstone. Also pan fried some wontons. I don’t think they would hire me as a hibatchi chef because I’m too slow and not entertaining but the food was great today!

This one was a great cut. Most of the time when you take it out of the package and flip it over they are marbled with a lot of fat.

Shrimp and grits is a fantastic combo. I definitely prefer when there is enough creole seasoning to give it a nice kick.

And when andouille is added.
