"...but you can cook the life out of them, if that makes you happy. Just, please, don't let me know."

Sunday morning cooking class. Fabio is fabulous. My only criticism is that I must like my steaks even more "alive" than he, because I don't finish mine in the oven. When they are seared in the pan, they are done.



And the salsa verde, while very good, is a bit too "green" for me. A lovely Sauce Bearnaise is the classic partner to steak.

Finish with a cherry and white chocolate bread pudding with an amaretto cream sauce and some nice cognac to sip.

YUMMY!

    1. Joan, for you? Of course. But it may take a few days...I don't have it written down, I just winged it. Will have to recreate and then type it out.

    Infidel! You would commit sacrilege on the perfect food straight from God?
    Salsa Verde. Sauce BĂ©arnaise. Hell, why don't you just put some ketchup on your steak? Salt, pepper and garlic are all the seasonings you need. Marinate the meat overnight in a good cabernet sauvignon wine, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and garlic. Smoke over charcoal with soaked hickory and mesquite chips. You don't need no stinking sauces.

      Agreed. To cook it. And YOU, sir, are the infidel for suggesting that you marinate a fabulous piece of meat overnight in SOY SAUCE! UGH!!! I'm not making fajitas. HAHAHAHA!

      I was raised on a cattle ranch in Idaho. One NEVER marinates the best cuts. One only marinates the shitty cuts.

      And Sauce Bearnaise, lightly napping a perfectly grilled steak, is divine. AND it is added at the table. Don't want it? Don't have it. But I can't UNHAVE marinade. DOUBLE UGH!

    2. Oh, goody! A religious war to start off the week. I raised cattle in Oklahoma, and what one does with the shitty cuts is turn them into hamburger.
      Infidel! I call down the wrath of Cthulhu upon you and those around you. You will be plagued with taxes and politicians who wish to disarm you, with plagues of Marxist-socialist Democrats.
