I had great ambitions yesterday . I was gonna cook up this bad boy and make a complete pig of myself.
Look at that baby, nearly 2 inches thick and won't fit on a dinner plate properly 🤩
Apparently however ...... stomachs have limits no matter how much you convince yourself otherwise.
I ploughed thru half of this, but what do I do with the other half ? I don't want to cook it any further and ruin it , so what does one do with cold steak ?
There is a delicious cold salad you can make. Slice the leftover steak as thin as you possibly can, and place it on top of a salad...(greens, sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, and cucumbers and thick crunchy croutons), sprinkled liberally with either roquefort or bleu cheese crumbles, and top with bleu cheese salad dressing. ☺️☺️☺️
slice it up very thin and use it in sandwiches, or make some fluffy eggs to go with it and reheat it in a microwave. I've been playing with sourdough attempts lately, I'd kinda wanna try to make some form of steak roll - like a sausage roll, but with a sizable slab of steak in the middle.
@MrBlueGuy hahaha....that sounds both horrific and amazing!😂 You never know what is going to work ...and the most unlikely things can work so well together.
Bet you will never be able to repeat it 😂 Such is the way with impromptu inspired dishes.
@OogieBoogie Yeah to happen to have both striploin and halibut at the same time and all the other ingredients and everything just cooked perfectly...it won't happen again...but that's ok xD Makes it more special haha
@MrBlueGuy it does . It's funny.....my kids used to say that the best meals I ever made were the ones I called "bottom of the pantry specials" - where you just made good with what you had - all rules broken. You put stuff together you never thought you should 🤷
Maybe we need to think out of the box more often 🤔
@KiwiBird I'll invite you when I perfect it.🤗 I'm still working out how to cook it ' just right'.
You'de think I know how to a good steak by now 🙄, but I've never really been into meat much. I've been on this meat frenzy lately - harassing the butcher and picking his brain. He's trying to convert me to having it medium rare 🤢
@OogieBoogie Medium rare is about as cooked as I go....usually a lil rarer than that. With thick steak the trick is to get it to room temperature or even warmed through without cooking it before you start the actual cooking. A pilot light in a gas oven does the trick. Nothing worse than a rare steak cold in the middle.
@KiwiBird this is the fine art I'm working on, that perfect time to take it out and sear the shit out of it. I'm still over doing it a bit. 🫤
I will. I'm kinda loving eating a nearly, if not all meat, meal - it seems to be easier on my system. Which is blowing me the fuck out as I always thought it was meat that was my problem . Who knu eh 🤷
@FreeSpirit1 matter if fact I do ! I got one for Christmas 🤗 That's a good idea for winter- I'll remember that. 👍 I hate cooking when I get home from work in th dark .
Steak and eggs in the morning. Nuke it and eat it along with a couple of eggs any done any way you wish. With a piece of rye toast and jam it is a breakfast fit for a king.................er Queen.
@Lilnonames you know, the butcher cut this for me esp.....i asked for one mother fucker of a steak 😂 He looked in his display, pointed a finger in th air and went into the back, and came out out with this sucker . I wish I'd weighed it .
@Sojournersoul ok, yeah, that sounds right up my alley as I eat a lot of greens . didn't think to warm it up a little before hand.👍 Actually - this is a good idea for work days - I hate coming home to have to cook .
