Best Meal Of My Life

[Don]

Last Friday my son took me to dinner at an Argentinian restaurant in San Francisco. We started with beef empanadas, moved on to spare ribs and grilled chilies, then roasted potatoes and a 26oz rib eye. We washed it all down with an excellent bottle of Malbec and some Chilean Carmenere. For dessert we had alfajores, churros with chocolate sauce, and vanilla shakes. Then we waddled back to the train, bloated but contented. Best food I've ever had and made so much the better by who I shared it with.

Sounds awesome, but how on earth could you eat 26oz of meat at one sitting!

There were some great places to eat there. We were down on Fisherman's Wharf and tried the Clam Chowder followed by the Dungeness Crab washed down with a bottle of California's best it was Delish, had to wear a plastic bib and get stuck in with hands and a pokey tool to get the meat out of the legs and claws there were bits of crab flying all over - good fun as well as good food.

Nice pics which reminds me of our Sunday family lunch where I cook for everyone in the house.

 

 

My specialty: Bacon wrapped filet mignon flambe....my own creation.

We shared the 26oz steak. Some people can eat a whole one, but I'm not up to that.

 

Flaming filet with bacon looks awesome, Bob! Calphalon cookware?

Try this recipe for a steak...

 

1. Take a piece of steak and thoroughly cover both sides with sea salt

2. Heat a bone dry, cast iron griddle on the oven until it starts to smoke - no fat, no oil, no butter - absolutely dry

3. Put steak on griddle and turn every 30 seconds until as tender as you like

 

Eat!

Sounds delicious! I usually grill beef outdoors, but this would make a great meal on a rainy day.

Good eye Don, yeah, that's my other hobby but only on Sundays noon.  As you can imagine, the toys I got to have...mostly knives, the cookware is just an excuse! :)
