What's for Dinner?

[SteveFord]

You guys are making me hungry.
Time to heat up some leftovers, later!

 

[dh66]

Bratwursts and spicy Italian sausages with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut and a couple of cold Beck's beers.

 

[Harp]

Italian roast beef, macaroni salad, Greek bread, and the last of the Grigio. a cold plate bachelor special.

 

[Touchofevil]

Chicken Parmigiana, garlic red mashed potatoes, freshly made bread, a dinner salad with garlic ranch dressing, and a couple of the best Bloody Marys around. It was a great dinner at a great restaurant with the Great and Lovely Lady ToE.

Pair of thick cut Pork chops, pan seared in bacon grease. Spicy jalapeño salad and brown rice.
Lately I’m trying to eat leaner cuts. I’m a boneless ribeye man by all accounts. My absolute favorite cut bar none and I eat A LOT of red meat. I’ve been trying to trick my tastebuds with some sirloin steaks, salted like a bag of ballpark peanuts and fried in a 1/2” of bacon grease. While 85% of the cut seems to take there’s always a small amount of tough meat left (tank gets to eat that). Anybody have a good marinade that isn’t too overly flavored ( salt, pepper and butter are all I usually use) for sirloin? I’m working with 3/4 pounders and I haven’t tried beating them prior to cooking yet, mainly b/c of time. If anybody has a “throw it in a bag for 24hrs” recipe I’d love to hear it.

ALDI chicken fricassee.

BUT!:
I didn't buy it, myself!

My wife and I committed to keeping a strict Eastern Orthodox Lent this year so we have gone Vegan for 46 days.

This is the end of week 1. Tonight is polenta, assorted types of grilled mushrooms, prawns (Yes, shellfish are allowed but we limit them to once per week) and then a side dish of grilled zucchini. We are allowed wine, in moderation, on weekends so we have a half bottle of Pinot Grigio left over from last night to accompany dinner.

Tony, I use red wine vinegar, a little lite soy or Worcestershire sauce and black pepper. No salt until cooking. From there, depending on what I’m using the steak for; salads tacos or whatever, I’ll add crushed garlic cloves, red pepper flakes or any number of dried spices. Marinate at least 8 hrs but I prefer overnight. Dried well and room temp before cooking and it’s red, please don’t overcook it.

I’ll give that a go! It’s funny, I’ve noticed that I get a little more variation on the “toughness” with sirloin over say a ribeye or strip. I know that sirloin is less fatty and that’s why but I’ve had a couple sirloin I’d swear is a boneless ribeye (at nearly half the price). I’ll try your recipe. Thanks brother!

Last night I had a lasagna pesto in alfredo sauce with a side salad.

 

[Touchofevil]

Thick and hearty stew last night. It was the second night of stew and of course it was even better than the first night.

 

[Trenchfriend]

I had four God Cheaters (Swabian Pockets). Very nice, as long you have no problem with the strong parsley!

 

[Trenchfriend]

I fried myself four storebrand "fish burgers"/"fish frikadellen" (Alaska pollock with some herbals). They are okay.

 

[Harp]

Rib tips, no sauce. Fries. Greek bread. Got some macaroni salad in the frig.
Should stop at CVS for some wine. Hmm.

Week 6 of keeping a true Orthodox Lent...tonight is stir fried veggies in a spicy cashew butter sauce on Udon noodles. I was watching a movie last night and Kirk Douglas was eating fried eggs for breakfast....I honest to goodness started to salivate.....Easter Sunday I think I am having fried eggs and ham for breakfast!...and toast with lots of butter....real butter.

 

[Bushman]

Homemade deep dish pizza!

 

[Harp]

Prime Rib dinner again two nights in a row...

Since my favorite Irish pub closed Covid19 prime rib; ribs; and the best center-cut pork chops in the world are gone.
After a crazy hectic day here at the office I am tempted to hunt down a steak.
