Seared halibut with chili gremolata, arugula/walnut pesto, crispy coconut rice, and broccoli.
I love porterhouse but wher I live I can't find them. I always eat the NY Strip side, the wife eats the tenderloin.View attachment 690077
A messy photo, but this big porterhouse had a huge tenderloin side.
A local market had these on sale for 5.99 lb. This one got a little overdone so the strip was a little chewy, but the tenderloin was like butah. The store tries to slip in steaks that should be called T-bones, but at that price it still isn’t bad. Seems odd that they wouldn’t have them by you, unless you‘re very remote, I guess. Something to look forward to if you travel.I love porterhouse but wher I live I can't find them. I always eat the NY Strip side, the wife eats the tenderloin.
We live in a town of 10,000. Meat is actually cheap compared to where we used to live but there's not much selection, especially now with the pandemic. But I an get excellent ribeyes here and that's my favorite steak by far. For fajitas I go with sirloin, it's always available, and a lot of times we'll have t-bones, but never a good porterhouse.A local market had these on sale for 5.99 lb.

One minor suggestion, next time you buy fish sauce, look for RedBoat instead of 3crabs. If it's not available, look for one that has the fewest ingredients. Ideally anchovies and salt.
*Opinion: this minor change makes a noteworthy improvement in flavor.
That brand, yes but not that specific flavor. RedBoat 40N is my goto fishsauce.Have you tried this Fish Sauce? Found this on Milkstreet.com . Very good stuff.

MegaChef is ok. I have a small bottle in my office. But I can really taste the difference as compared to RedBoat 40N.BliS fish sauce is excellent but horribly over priced. Redboat 40n is all i use. The 50n just isnt worth it. All BliS did is age some Redboat in barrels. BliS Blast hot sauce though is worth every penny if you like a mild hot sauce occasionally. Its actually cheap when you consider the bottle size.
2nd choice would be MegaChef or New Town. Both are quite good but MegaChef is a Thai fish sauce. New Town is Vietnamese like Redboat.

blue. I haven't seen the brown bottle in my local stops. Worth checking out?Brown bottle or blue bottle?
Brown bottle only has 3% total sugars. Its also fermented 2yrs. Blue bottle is sweeter
That’s nice.Not my cooking but... 2-3 times a week I get to work and someone has cooked breakfast for everyone. Usually it is an egg scramble, but sometimes they go all out, like steak and eggs!View attachment 690879

I've been looking for Red Boat 50N since I first saw you mention it here and still have no found it locally. Of course I forget to look most times. Still have no found black vinegar either. But then all I really need to do is go into Dallas 30 minutes or so away and I can find it all I'm sure.For using as a dipping fish sauce im sure you will love it. I think you can get Redboat 50N a little cheaper but its also hard to find. I can get 40N for about $5-6 a bottle and its just fine to me but im not a huge fan of Nuoc Cham, Nam Pla or any of the other fish sauce based dipping sauces to be honest.
Im far more into good soy sauce and black vinegar based dipping sauces. LKK double fermented and Gold Plum or Shuita 5yr for me thanks.
