Today I made a dinner for some guests so I decided to make a steak dinner. Salad, a steak, grilled potatoes and donuts.
This is the kitchen all set up to get to work.
Grilled Potatoes. I've already given you the recipe in an earlier post so I'll just show the pictures.
This is me basting the cut up potatoes to put in an oven pan.
Steak. Take a steak and marinade it in garlic, lime juice, and A1 steak sauce. Marinade it for about an hour and a half. Then sear in a pan on high. After I seared it I used a thermometer to make sure it was around 145 degrees.
Salad. This is an easy one. Just take any bag of salad, chop some tomatoes, cucumbers and apples. Mix it together.
Chimmichurri sauce. Man chimmichurri is hard to spell!
1 cup
fresh parsle
3/4 cup
extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons
red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons
dried oregano
2 teaspoons
ground cumin
1 teaspoon
salt
1/2 tablespoon
minced garlic
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until a good consistency.
Donuts. This is me rolling the donuts. The recipe for this one is found here
You don't have to use a special donut cutter. We didn't either.
The finished plate.
A donut and a donut hole.
Special thanks to Sister Puddicembe (I hope I spelled that right) and Sister Hibbert for trying this dinner and liking it. Here are some comments from them.
"Chef Owen, Your food was incredible. The steak was perfectly cooked and you did a great job with the salad. Thank you for all the work and keep it up! ~Sister Hibbert"
"Owen, You did an amazing job! I'm so full of yummy food I could BURST!! Thank you for sharing your talent and love of good cooking! You rock! Sister Puddicembe"
The end......................... for now.
I am so excited to see you back active on your Blog Owen.. and this entry was fantastic.. very informational and very clear on your recipe and cooking directions.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures do a wonderful job of providing a clear understanding of the effort involved and of your skill and of course the finished product.. "An Outstanding Steak dinner".
It is even better that your dinner guests were so outspoken in their praise for your dinner. God has blessed you with wonderful culinary skills and I hope you continue to develop them in the days ahead.
I was also so very happy to see you earn your Chef Level 2 Chef's Coat this past week . I was very excited about that accomplishment too.. and ...if you keep focused on developing your culinary skill all the cooks in the family will want to learn more from you... and who knows.. at this rate we may soon be saying "Move Over Alton Brown!!!" Chef Owen is in the kitchen

Thanks Grandpa George! That means a lot to me. I will try to keep the blog updated but *cough cough* Kai. He tries to help in the kitchen. You don't even want to know what he did on super bowl Sunday. *cough cough*
DeleteWay to go Owen! I look forward to trying one of your feasts. :)
ReplyDeleteI can always make one for you if you want! Do you have any requests?
DeleteThis is a great post, Owen! The food looks fantastic, better than I would find in any restaurant, and much better than I could make. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteAw, really? Are you talking about a fast food restaurant like "McDonald's" or a fancy restaurant like one of Chef Ramsey? Keep practicing! I'm sure you'll get really good one day!
DeleteThanks for the encouragement, Owen! I will keep trying :)
