Tuesday Dinner, May 11th? - cjs - 05-11-2010
What's on the menu for today?
What I really want to have for dinner is one of the two shrimp dinners from Vicci's thread...
But, I have chicken and pork thawing out, so can't for a few days.
So, guess I'll fix Chicken in Red wine Vinegar and pan-roasted cauliflower with pine nuts and raisins. A couple of F&W recipes.

We are feeding our supper club tonight (26 guests). We are making a chilled seafood platter and Thai chicken salad cups-CAH#66, Caesar salad, roasted tenderloin with a double mushroom ragout, potato/leek gratin, tomato spinach Rockerfeller, bread basket, and tri color chocolate mousse. Argyle pinot noir with dinner. I'll take pictures and see if Jean will post them for me.

Looking for inspiration. We have a rainy day here and nothing sounds good yet.
Our Mother's Day dinner was a big hit and I still have leftover steak, not much though. I ate the last 1/2 of a custard rich roll for breakfast. My husband says these rolls are 'legendary'. High praise.
I agree.

Yum, what a fun and tasty sounding menu, Bill!!
Sounds like a good soup night, Laura.

Don't know yet, but soup sounds good. Think I might have some chili in the freezer.

Lorraine, it's marinated beef short ribs - it's a Korean dish - Mister says that he had a lot of it when he was stationed there. This is the recipe that we use: (I don't know what site he used for this since he has the comments added below so it's not a made up one.) We really like it!!
KALBI
1 1/2 cups lite soy sauce
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup sesame oil
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8-10 cloves of fresh garlic, crushed
6 large green onions, chopped roughly
4 pounds Korean-style short ribs *
Toasted sesame seeds
Combine the soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and corn oil in a large mixing bowl. Add garlic and green onion and stir together. Put short ribs into large sealable freezer bag (you may need two). Pour marinade into bag and turn bag over several times to ensure all meat pieces are covered. Refrigerate for at least four hours, but preferably overnight. Turn bag at least once in the middle of the marinating process.
Heat grill to medium-high heat before adding the meat. Drain excess marinade off short ribs and grill them until medium, about 6-8 minutes. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serves 6.
* NOTE ON RIBS: Korean-style short ribs can be found at most Asian markets. The cut is called "flanken," a strange word that refers to a strip of beef cut across the bone from the chuck end of the short ribs. Most short rib recipes call for individual bones cut into thick pieces. Kalbi is unusual in that it calls for 3 ribs, cut lengthwise across the bones, so that you end up with a strip of meat about 8-10 inches long that has 3, 1/2-inch rib bones lining the top.
You can also use the marinade for a traditional cut of short ribs, but this is best cooked by braising -– a crock pot is excellent for this type of dish.

Sonja, that does sound very tasty - copied for us also.

Copied here, also, Sonja! Thanks! It sounds delicious!
Bill, that dinner menu sounds wonderful! I can't wait to see the pictures...I know it'll be a beautiful spread!
Lorraine, you're having what I wanted for dinner, but I got out voted. We're having the fixings for taco salad, burritos, and/or soft tacos.
