Whats Cookin' Doc' ?
So since I have been trying to cut back on dining options since its usually a good chunk of change for the choices I like to indulge in (except vegas, that's the time to go all out) I've gone back to my roots of cooking, took some cooking classes back in my teens and have been cooking ever since. Typically the most expensive cuts of meat are still just a fraction of a restaurant I can indulge to my hearts content and still stay under budget, with relation to my diet and workout plan of course.
So whatcha got? Post up pictures of stuff you create for dinner with a little description of what went into it, lets make it as long as the what are you listening to now. I'll kick it off with a few things I've been meaning to start the thread with. Sashimi, purchased the whole steaks from the japanese fish market, mmmhmmm tasty Filet Mignon roast, first time I tried cutting it thin to spread it out for a few days. Good, but cooks a little too fast on the grill. Next I cut the same roast in half(different day), brazed it on the grill and baked it 320* for about 20min, or until it shrinks noticeably. Next is my home made steak sauce, soy, garlic, sake based sauce cooked in open pot till just about boiling, little olive oil to thicken and give the sauce a base that doesnt soak into the meat too much. Truffled mashed potatoes, made like normal potatoes right up until the end, get the nice and hot and toss half a stick of butter, let melt, then add truffle oil. I like to add some chopped garlic cloves and onions to the tops of the steaks just before serving the sauce. Post up! |
Real food cuts into my gas money.... |
I hear you, but normally i wait till monday for the meat sales and can get a 2.5lb filet mignon for about $15-17, couple bucks for a box of potatoe flakes and you got yourself a GOOD meal for what you pay for fast food at carls jr or p&g. Obviously cant do it every day, regular meals i buy the 20lb bag of frozen chicken at costco for about $10 and feeds me and Vanessa for a week, all meals inclusive.
