James, your steak with crab topping looks insanely delicious!



Not dinner but very late brunch.

3 egg Vidalia onion, mushroom, Havarti omelet with crisp bacon and an English muffin.

Enjoyed with a 2 shot cappuccino and a sunrise mimosa

If I ever make it that far west to visit I’ll definitely cook for you!

When I’m in Chicago I won’t be THAT far away compared to Maryland.

New York strip topped with crab sauce. Sautéed balsamic onions, and grilled corn on the cob.

Crab sauce has fresh herbs from the garden. It’s a good evening.



How’s this cook Gordon Ramsey?!?

tell us more, please, on that crab sauce,


looks tasty

No pics, but did a NY strip on the BGE. Rubbed with salt and pepper and grilled to perfection. Then, I coated it in a concoction called cowboy butter. Never heard of it before so I thought I'd give it a whirl, and holy smokes this stuff was good!

1 stick of soft butter
1 Tbs dijon mustard
1 Tbs fresh chives chopped
1Tbs fresh parsley chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Mix it all together well and store in the fridge. Take some out and melt it in the nuker and coat the steak with it or use for dipping the meat in. It sounds like a rather odd combination, but the flavors meld perfectly.

Let some finely shopped shallots and garlic become aromatic with a pad of butter, add some heavy whipping cream and let it warm up, at the end add in lump crab meat and fresh herbs of your choosing. Fold it in so as not to break up the lump meat, could even use claw meat. Salt to taste.

Sometimes I’ll add Cajun seasoning, but it was already on the steaks. A spoonful of tomato paste also works for another flavor depending on what you’re putting it on top of.

Couple days ago made a better version of the pan seared salmon with garlic broccolini and saffron risotto. Man it is a lot of work and dishes, but so good!

Next day, I made the salmon again with the leftover risotto and did fresh garden okra in the air fryer.

Yesterday made steak and fresh okra. I tried a fried okra recipe, but didn’t like it as breading didn’t stick, but it was still good. I did the steak in a cast iron skillet with butter, garlic, rosemary, and thyme. So dang good!!!!

Normin,

Wash your okra after you cut it up and it will get "slimy" and the breading will stick better......or it does for me.

My old standby tonight. Cast Iron seared, butter and herb basted, flat iron steak with Vidalia onions, mushrooms, and mashed potatoes. Yum!



Pre-heat the cast iron on medium high with a little avocado oil. The steak is at room temperature having been sitting with a mixture of salt, pepper, onion powder, and worcestershire. Place in hot skillet and do not move. After a few minutes a char will have developed. Put a healthy pad of butter underneath and finish the char on this side. Flip it on the other side ensuring as much of the fluid is underneath. Add whole garlic cloves, rosemary, thyme to the pan, and more unsalted butter under the steak after a couple minutes to get a nice char going. Hold pan so that you can spoon the butter herb mixture over the steak. I can tell when it is getting close to medium rare by fork or spoon feel on the meat. Remove, pour the butter mixture sans herbs over the steak and let stand for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut against the grain in nice slabs and enjoy!

Onions and mushrooms are prepared in a separate pan, as are the potatoes.

Bald1,

Mix that butter in the potatoes! Otherwise, I’m looking forward to tasting that as you adopted son in the future .

James my boy, the two pats of butter were placed on the potatoes just seconds before the picture was taken. So they hadn't time to fully melt and be mixed yet. LOL

Marinated (Julios seasoning,lime juice, olive oil) pan fried shrimp, garlic cappelini and a salad. Too hot to eat heavy this week.

Angel hair (capellini) pasta with seasoned sautéed shrimp is a favorite here too.
