What did everyone cook today?

21st Anniversary. Wife said she would rather eat my cooking at home, so I cancelled the steakhouse and got cooking!
Tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, avocado in balsamic vinegar and olive oil
Scallops, seared with a brown butter dill gewurtztraminer deglaze reduction.
With my own cold smoked salmon.
NY Strip steak, with grilled zucchini and asparagus, sauteed green beans, and rosemary roasted red potatoes. With bernaise sauce. Steak was sous vide to 128 then hickory smoked at 150 then reverse seared.
All served with a cabernet sauvignon. I even remembered to get flowers and card!Dave in AZ Congratulations on your anniversary & your anniversary meal, it looks deelicious.

processhead Thinking you miscounted by just a couple.
Here are some well overpriced rib steaks, but still delicious (just donât get them even close to as often) smoked with Pecan & Mesquite, then reverse seared.
served with some grilled asparagus and baked taters with home made sour cream & cheese, and some of Andyâs nice home made French Baguettes.
Of course it all had to be washed down with a little Red Wine & then I had to be sweetened up with some Peach Overboard, Peachy, Peach Ice Cream. Whooo, fit for a king, but enough for a weekend. -

calldoctoday very nice meal great looking bread and I love your skilletâs
gus4416 Thank you, we really appreciate it & yes, it was very good, even if overpriced, but still better priced than Peter Flemingâs & a whole lot more relaxing & enjoyable, not to mention that in my most humble opinion, just as tasty. I will let Andy know that his bread is still looking good. Yes, we like those irons & have had them for years & years. Heat them up slowly for an hour or so before serving & they will keep your meat hot. Nothing worse than a cold steak.

zbigjeff Thank you, I really appreciate it. However, if you are not going for that beef, you are really missing something as it was out of this world & perfect, although the thinner one may have been just a little too much on the medium side vs what we like as the perfect medium rare. You should try some of that homemade sour cream sometime. It really out does the grocery store. It is unbelievable the difference in taste, if you like sour cream. Thank you again & I am glad you like them irons too. It is real nice putting them irons in the fire to heat them up a bit & then having them keep the meat hot.

calldoctoday I always notice different first. Since you seem to snare some very nice cuts, itâs a standard. I love sour cream. Never even attempted homemade. Will have to look for the âhow toâ and go from there. I just love the âbiteâ of a good sour cream.
-
Yes, BIG on the how to for the sour cream.

zbigjeff Yes, you should try it. It is really easier than even yoghurt or buttermilk, or certainly cheese or kraut. You only have to get the organic cream up to 86° & do not have to worry about bringing the temps back down, since it is not that high to start with. I had about 1/4 cup of dry milk to the mix too & rehydrate it, because we like it really thick. I use heavy cream too, rather than light cream. Then just pour that mix, after adding the culture & mixing it well, into a quart mason jar & set it into a yoghurt therm for about 24 hours. We just use an old super thick styrofoam meat packing cooler we got somewhere for the yoghurt therm & it works perfectly. Plus, the price is right! You can keep using a little bit of the previous cream as the culture for the next several batches & that works real well too. I believe you will like it.

Spent most of the weekend working outside and mostly the garden. Yesterday I did a few NY strips on the carbon steel qith Excalibur Steak and Roast rub. Today I put 2 slabs of St. Louis style ribs on the smoker. Life is good.

GWG8541 That is all very nice & tasty looking. I like the looks of that corn salad too. It is always nice & tasty when you can add some other colors & flavors to the regular salad. The corn looks really good, so does all the meat.
