What did I cook this weekend.....

[Staestc]

Grilled some chicken thighs marinated in a homemade mole. Decided to go untraditional and make some tacos. Turned out great!

Look awesome to me!!

 

[ChefRex]

Thanks. Got a little bit of smoke but that oil mixed with pasta was amazing.



That be the 15". That thing is a beast. It was still very warm after sitting for over an hour. We have a store up here called Kitchen Collection. A ton of kitchen nic nacks and stuff. Every so often they have the Lodge stuff on sale. I saw it on sale and left it but if you spend more than $50 you get 20% after checkout so soooooooooo I turned around and got it for just over $20 with the coupon. The problem was lugging at all the way back to the car. FYI: Dick's Sporting Goods is having a buy one get the other 50% off sale.

I've put some thick steaks on there and the pan just laughed as it and seared the f* out of 'em. No change in temp. Can't way to sear a roast on that thing. It hasn't won yet!

Hows the finish on the interior? That's been the only thing that's held me back, every thing new I've looked at is rough, especially compared to an antique pan.
Might bite the bullet and hit it with a sander.

It's bumpy but not bad. I've seen some nice satiny refinished Lodge pans but the only problem I've had was when I first got a 12" and seasoned it twice and tried frying an egg. Didn't turn out well. Now whenever I get a new pan I season around 5 times with Flaxseed oil.

London broil, smashed parmesan potatoes, and garlic green beans.

How do you do that london broil? Do you marinate?

I marinated for a few hours in soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and garlic powder.

I cooked it like a rib eye ; hot and quick.

For a cheap piece of meat (I think I got it for $2.97/lb), it's not too bad cooked that way. You won't mistake it for ribeye, though.

I've got a split turkey breast in the sous vide. Will take it out shortly and pop it on the gas grill to sear the skin, or I might do it in the broiler, depends on my mood and whether or not the fog has rolled back in. Also have cheesy mashed cauliflower, turkey gravy I froze last time I made a big vat of it, and a giant artichoke with "fancy sauce" (half Best Foods mayo, half homemade ketchup, couple drops Chipotle Tabasco sauce) - can't wait for dinner! About 40 more minutes is as far as I'm willing to stretch it!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Making pierogi ...

Cajun shrimp salads. We were going to grill them, but it was raining. They turned out really well in a cast iron skillet. The dressing was avocado (and some other stuff). My wife did all the important parts. I chopped things and cooked the shrimp. I just do what I'm told and don't ask questions!

Those Pierogi turned out very nice! So how was the filling? Kraut or cabbage tend to be my favorite.

Thanks, I mixed potato with my juniper kraut, a little butter a splash of half and half, an black pepper for the filling. I'm waiting for a pound of poppyseeds to be delivered for makowiec. (Poppy seed roll).

 

[Oldskewl]

That is simple enough. Were you happy with them? My family always had nut roll.

Good luck with the Makowiec. I hope you don't have any drug tests anytime soon. LOL!

Thanks, that's almost exactly what I did. I got the coals up to > 500F and slapped it on there for ~ 5m per side - about med/rare. Sliced across the grain. It was better / more tender than I remember as a kid (mom used to cook till leather I think).

I marinated in soy sauce overnight.

With spagettti squash.

I think our moms read the same recipe book my mom loved London broil.

Embarrassed to show how i snack sometimes. Chuck roast salt and peppered heavily, thrown straight into crockpot. No liquid added. Idea from this forum from a texan. Sorry I can't remember who. Went to 150 degrees.

IMHO - the BEST steak you can eat! That looks good enough to make me want to lick the screen.

Good thing we just ate - homeground beef burgers (half chuck and half Tri-Tip, double-ground), ear of white corn with butter, fresh garden tomatoes and avocados with mayo. Oh yeah, homebrewed brown ale. :rockin:

 

[slym2none]

Made a "Chik-Fil-A" clone recipe tonight for some chicken sandwiches, served along with slaw & baked sliced potatoes.

No, it didn't taste like a CFA. Yes, it was good, as it was different. Anybody wants the recipe I used, tag me so I'll know to look in here.

Agreed....I think rib-eyes are definitely the best steaks to grill...

IMO tenderloin roast, sliced into filets, is the best beef off the grill.

My second fave is ribeyes (I prefer them with a coffee rub, but I'm pretty sure that's going to make somebody mad )

 

[Staestc]

Chili's clone night tonight. Skillet Queso, Southwestern Egg Rolls, and Fajitas.
