I think there’s no right or wrong reason. Some guys or girls just do it to impress their possible mates. I confess, I've done it. Some just do it to feed their family; definitely and probably the best kind of cooking. If your mom and/or dad did thatfor this reason, there’s probably one dish they prepared, you will always remember, and it'll make your mouth water and memories wander, when you sniff it anywhere.
Today I just do it because I love food and it’s one of the best ways to show love and caring to the ones that you care for.
I love to eat what I cook, and definitely my roughest critic, but even when my crazy combos don’t work out so well, and believe me it happens more frequently than I’d like, I don’t beat myself up, just laugh it off and go straight to my next experience.
I decided not to do a recipe blog just share a cooking tips ingredients and experiences.
That being said, tonight it worked out.
The wine was Santa Alvara 2005 from Rapel Valley in Chile, inexpensive and it went really great with the dish that has the main character the filet mignon.
My fried Rodrigo gave a tip on a special sauce for pasta, stubborn as I am; I decided that it would go very well with meat.
I decided to make garlic rice with garlic and cashew nuts and raisins to go with the steaks.
You just slice the garlic very thin, golden fry them on olive oil, just be careful not to go overboard, too much and it will make it bitter.
Add the rice mix it, fry it a little and add the water and let it get ready, I’m not going to teach anyone to make rice, lol.
Spice the steaks with salt and ground black pepper put a descent amount of butter in the very hot frying pan, throw in the steaks don’t fiddle around wit then, when you see the 1/3rd of the side of the steak get brown flip it and let it brown on the other side. Careful nobody likes a dry steak.
While you are doing all of this prepare the sauce, this is a bit tricky, I’m not going to give you exact measures, but you are going to have to mix gorgonzola and red wine and let it melt. Keep stirring get it to the thickness you feel is going to make the right consistence.
Once everything is ready make it look good on the plate.
Rice on one side steaks on the other, gently pour the sauce over the steaks and …
Dig in.
I hope it works as well for you as it did for us.
Have fun, now I’ll have to think something for tomorrow.
I promised myself I wouldn't eat red meat this week, until Easter. I gotta tell you, it's not easy!!! lol I've been craving a big juicy steak and it's only Wednesday!!! Anyway, I must try that sauce of yours. The question is: should I wait until next week, or should I use it on something else, like a fish fillet??
ResponderExcluirOriginaly it was meant for pasta, if you are gong to try it with fish I sugest using white wine instead of red.
ResponderExcluirLet me know how it goes.
