What's for Dinner tonight ? What are you having ?

[Tammyfarms]

@VikingChick mentioned pad Thai and @Relle mentioned fried rice. Now I’m in an Asian mood. I think fried rice is for dinner tomorrow. Tonight hubby had leftover pizza and I had chicken vegetable soup.

Tonight was sous vide beef tenderloin- since it was just VikingDude and me for Christmas, we’d cut the tenderloin we got at from Costco (that had become beef Wellington) in half and frozen the rest. Tonight it became dinner, with roasted mini gold potatoes and asparagus, accompanied by a nice cab. So good!

 

[Relle]

Well, we had filet mignon (part of a gift box of Omaha steaks that someone gave to us). It's a pretty close tie for me between a good steak, and a pint of ice cream...

I'll show my ignorance here, what are Omaha steaks ?

NY strip is my favorite steak. Hit with Montreal seasoning

Don't know what NY strip is either. We have different names here. We owned a butcher shop.

Does everyone sous vide in the US, not a common thing here.

So, it's a business name, I thought it was a cut of meat.

Should have asked Dh, he's the butcher - it's porterhouse.

Tonight we had the indoor grill going. DH had the NY strip and I had little pork chops, and we grilled artichokes to go with the baked potatoes.
Oh how I miss ice cream - it gives me a tummy ache.

I am so sorry! My doc recommend gluten and dairy free. I’m not loving it but I do feel better. I still cheat occasionally.

 

[Tammyfarms]

I don’t sous vide.

In the States, a Porterhouse has the strip on one side and the tenderloin on the other.

It's uncommon here too. But the food it produces is phenomenal! Even a well done steak is juicy and tender. I normally don't eat white chicken meat because it's way to dry but sous vide for 2 hours at 140° is life changing

No more dry pork chops, either1 I have an 8Qt Instant Pot that has a sous vide function. At lunch time, I can start two 1.5" frozen chops, and sous vide for four hours at 142ºF. After a quick sear in a hot cast iron pan, they are tendy, juicy, and fully cooked.

My trick for pork chops is to cost coat them in Mayo then fry them. Chef's kiss perfect

Edit: fixed coat

Ice cream gave me a broken tooth 2 wks ago, have to see the dentist tomorrow, 2 wks to get in to get it fixed.

Dh, said that's a T bone.

Will have to try that.

Change of plans here, chicken roll ups with Lebanese bread, cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, carrot, cucumber, forgot the shallots. Too hot to cook,

Smoked bratwurst with homemade sourkraut, roasted potatoes, and salad. My DH was so excited over his sourkraut.
