What's for Dinner?

[the_rayway]

We tried bison bacon today. What a disappointment! It had the flavour that I associate with lamb that is a bit too old when it's slaughtered, or goat. Plus it had to be at least twice as salty as regular bacon.

That's a LOT of salt.

Ah well, if you don't try it, you'll never know!

Staying home with kids on "snow" day + leftover dough and sauce from Saturday's pizza party = pizza for lunch. This one was mine. Pepperoni, sausage, fresh mozzarella.

Beef Stew is what's for dinner this evening. I think it will pair nicely with the 2013 Syrah I opened last night..

This is dinner....yummm

I hope you have some good bread to go with that awesome looking stew, Doug.

Chili and home made ginger beer.

BBQ pork tenderloin in a spicy Brazilian marinade with roasted carrots, potatoes and beets drizzled with a balsamic-honey reduction. Using that same reduction on some french vanilla ice cream for dessert

Got me drooling, Raelene. Care to share that marinade?

Lol, you bet!
I blitzed most of a head of garlic cloves, zest and juice from 1 lime, dried cayenne pepper (whole with seeds), whole cumin (1/2 ish tsp), and some crushed tomato.

I sliced the tenderloin into long, flat strips, marinated for 24 hours, then squiggled them onto kabob skewers and BBQ'd.

Smokey, spicy, and a hint of Brazilian churrascaria

What's for dinner...

I made 24 Hamburgers, 10 # worth of Beef seasoned with Sweet BBQ Burger Seasoning from Butcher & Packers.

Smoked them under Mesquite smoke for 1.5 hours.

Most went into the freezer for later.

Turned out very nice.

Grilled chicken rubbed with Adobo, cumin and Aleppo chili served with black beans and rice. Simple, protein packed, and delicious.

I made a Moroccan-style lamb stew/tagine with lamb shoulder, fennel, garlic, onions, mushrooms, carrots, lacinto kale, orange juice, and coriander/cumin/turmeric/cinnamon/ginger/cardamom spices. Served over pearl cous-cous. Yum!

 

[Boatboy24]

80/20 ground chuck burgers with Weber's burger seasoning and worcestershire. Topped with caramelized onion, sharp cheddar, lettuce and tomato. Onion rings and stir-fried zucchini on the side.

Edit: Here's a pic. I grossly overcooked them (got distracted), but with that shot of Woosty sauce, they were still juicy. Went with spinach and arugala instead of plain lettuce. Zuke not pictured.

Oh yeah, and the chicken with black beans and rice from the other night.

Korean BBQ Short Ribs (cooked in the new Instant Pot) served over garlic smashed potatoes with steamed asian veggies on the side.

Went fancy and had beer and nachos for date night tonight. It was just the thing to hit the spot

Poof of dinner…….

 

[Boatboy24]

Looks fantastic Mike! How'd the Pinot hold up to that rich looking dish?

 

[ibglowin]

Really well! See my post here. Even SWMBO was doing the happy dance at diner!

Pan seared ribeye with Barolo pan sauce.

Note: no vegetables were harmed in the preparation of this dinner.











Overcooked by just a couple degrees and I added a touch too much salt. Otherwise, a really enjoyable steak all on its own.

Still recovering from Superbowl Sunday Fantasy Football party at our house. I made a ginormous BBQ pulled pork with the Instant Pot which turned out amazing as well as a huge pan of Buffalo Mac & Cheese. Lots of leftovers.
