I love rice but when it comes to pairing with steak....POTATO!!!!

Rice with steak? Rissotto, yes. But straight up rice... Nah, put that with the orange chicken. Potatoes are where its at for steak

Twice baked potato or just some roasted wedges with herbs

Potatoes it is! I'm considering waiting until Saturday, because the family will be away then, and I can have all the mushrooms for myself.
 
Scallops, salt, butter...

A little surf and turf tonight. :mug:
 
Clever use of leftovers.

I grilled shrimp for tacos on Thursday and there were a bunch leftover, so surf and turf. I got a single 8 oz prime fillet and blasted it afterburner style for a salty char on the outside and perfect rare in the middle. I warmed up the shrimp in a heap of butter. Add to that some grilled sprouts and wilted spinach, and use up those leftover biscuits too.

Well, Steak and mushrooms didn't happen last night due to reasons. Instead I finished off some ribs on the grill and make baked potatoes to go with it, and a simple salad. Washed down with a Rubaeus, from Founders. Normally I don't go for fruit beers, but this one tasted pretty good with the ribs.

Ribs look super good. Great looking plate.
 
Really proud of my wife. She made burritos and made them in the style of my mexican friends....everything inside. Like chipotle. I really love burritos, I do. Not home made green chilli. Don't make it because the kids wont eat it, but love it too. She said the kids chowed, always a good sign. Happy mothers day everyone.
 
I went to my hometown and made breakfast for Mom. I got a loaf of nice brioche and sliced it nice and thick. Made the dipping stuff with two eggs, two more yolks, maybe a cup of half-and-half, a good lug of vanilla and a couple shakes of cinnamon. Then I served the toast with fresh raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. Turned out really well and I'll definitely do that again.
 
Any tips you could pass on, about how you put these beautiful sears on steak? Thanks, looks awesome as always.


No real set method. I usually cook better steaks when I have had 4-5 brews. Makes me think or stress less about over-cooking. I feel I take them off at the right time, every time.

For thicker cuts (1-2"), I would say I go 450F until I see the outside of the steak charred. Then, I flip and do the same to the other side. I then lower the flame (guessing 375F) and let cook for anywhere from 5-6 minutes on each side.
 
A hat trick of sorts hubby's fresh caught summer flounder, beer battered puffers and grilled mako. Homemade sourdough and steamed broccoli. No pics we just dove in when it was ready.
 
Heading down to my hometown to cook a birthday lunch for my Mom (yep, her birthday is six days after Mother's Day.) Garlicky, tomatoey grilled shrimp, grilled asparagus, and a spinach/strawberry/pecan salad and some pretzel rolls.
 
Oh, and I didn't cook it, but at a restaurant the other day they said they had lamb as a special. I ordered it bloody rare (it was fantastic) and the surprise was that it came smothered in buttery fried morels. Holy crap.
