What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - cjs - 11-13-2012 What's on the menu for everyone today? Leftovers from Monday. Yesterday's steak dinner turned out better than I would have thought. A neighbor, who likes her steaks WELL DONE, joined us and I just refuse to ruin a steak like that, so I played. I cut each of the steaks coil-like into ~1/4" strips, skewered them and grilled them with this glaze: 1/4 cup vegetable oil 4 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce 4 T. red miso paste 1 tsp. Asian sesame oil Pinch of sugar Pinch of salt Heat the oil and add garlic slices and cook over low heat until crisp, stirring, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic to a blender, reserve the garlic oil for another use. Add the soy, miso, sesame oil, sugar and salt to the blender and puree. Brush on beef skewers while grilling.This recipe is from F&W magazine. We had wine leftover from weekend, so did a tasting along with dinner and Harbinger's Rielsing was very good with it. I tossed the cooled garlic oil with the potatoes before grilling them and then tossed with Romano when they came out of the oven. Geez, what a great dinner, but sure can't do the potatoes like that very often. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - esgunn - 11-13-2012 Looks delicious Jean! Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - Trixxee - 11-13-2012 Tony's gone again so the pressure is off! I have a ton of fresh asian veggies still so I might make another stir fry - last night's was excellent. Will do shrimp this time. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - cjs - 11-13-2012 I'm doing the stir-fry that I guess you did last night, Trixxee - altho, I'm adding my l/o miso-glazed beef skewers. The flavors sound really good together. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - Trixxee - 11-13-2012 Hope you enjoy Jean! I think I'm going in a different direction than originally though. I can still use my veggies up and some tortillas that need to be used. Kung Pao Shrimp Tacos. Here's a video and recipe (if you can get through the 30 second commercial at the beginning). http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/kung-pao-shrimp-tacos/video/index.html Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - Mare749 - 11-13-2012 Ron's birthday dinner, as per his request, stuffed pork chops, mashed potatoes, roasted brussel sprouts, and of course, birthday cake from Costco. (They are great!) Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - Trixxee - 11-13-2012 Happy Birthday to Ron! (We love Costco cakes too). Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - cjs - 11-13-2012 Happy Birthday to Mr. Ron!! Trixxee, that Asian noodle dish is wonderful - I embarrassed myself at how fast I downed it. Wow and very good with off-dry riesling. Since my beef was already highly flavored with similar seasoning, etc., I omitted the step of mixing meat with more ginger, soy & sesame oil and it worked out well. Now, I think I'm going to copy you again day after tomorrow with some Kung Pao Shrimp Tacos. Thanks for the ideas. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - Lorraine - 11-13-2012 Happy birthday, Ron! Jean, that looks fabulous! Went for tests today, and not feeling great. I think tomato soup and crackers. Might even skip the soup and just have crackers. Re: What's for Dinner, Tues., 11/13/12?? - Mare749 - 11-13-2012 Oh, Lorraine, that doesn't sound good. Take good care of yourself so you can feel better soon.
