Steak Oscar anyone

Ok so I woke up this morning and turned on the TV and Pioneer Woman was on making a dinner for her dad steak Oscar, it looked so good I went to the store and got everything for Steak Oscar for dinner.  What transpired during the Iron bowl, which Alabama lost was a wonderful dinner.  Below is what Kim and I put together.

 About 3 months ago I bought 20Lbs of shrimp from a friend who went to lower Alabama and bought 100Lbs of shrimp.  I boiled about 2lbs then peeled and prep. For sautéing  in butter, slap your MAMA, fresh garlic, White pepper, cayenne pepper and good chili powder form Korea.

Kim getting ready to make some twice baked cauliflower which taste like twice baked potatoes but better for you.  Once again showing off the copper core Allclad pots and pans thanks Mom and Dad for the Christmas money one year you got the ball rolling.

Nothing like grass feed fillet with Allen’s spice blend rub and wrapped in bacon

It has been a long time since I made hollandaise sauce and yes I forgot how temperamental it can but during the process.  First batch down the drain, thanks for the sassy sidekick for cleaning up my mess so I could start again.  Different approach ended in success.

 Sassy sidekick is doing her thing with the cauliflower adding  cream cheese to the cooked cauliflower, then sour cream, green onions, topped with sharp cheddar, and bacon.  Back in the oven for baking.

 Fillets are ready for searing can hardly wait

 Few asparagus for the top of the steak

 ok I got a little ahead of the pictures but you get it 

 Searing at its best made the cast Iran skillet 500 degrees ready for searing

 now BBQ for 130 degree center temp.

 we almost forgot the wild rice thanks Sassy for the reminder 

 Man do those steaks look good can hardly wait to dig in my mouth is watering to no end.

 good looking shrimp a meal in its self

 Twice baked cauliflower looking good

 getting close to chow time looking good I believe this one is a keeper

Final product and I can tell you first hand it melted in my mouth.  Always remember not to forget to try what you see on the cooking shows the payoff is always worth it and you know it does not matter if you see it on TV or some other media it is you that creates it by cooking it.  If you want to come over for Steak Oscar I would love to cook it for you just let me know.  You might have to throw down for the meat LOL.

Walker Wings and Shrimp Boil with Friends

We have met some fun nice people since we have moved to Alabama.  They have always been so kind to us and have included us in a lot of functions, which we have had a great time at.  So we wanted to invite them over for Wings and a shrimp boil.  Wings I know but Shrimp boil was a first, so that part they were the testing board :) 

First thing is the last thing eaten yes dessert, Kim’s Kahlua cake, think it was a hit because a few of the ladies wanted the recipe.  She did a great job only problem is I have to eat it all week, that does not help my middle part of my body  

 Wings can get a little hot on the lips so a good broccoli slaw helps cool things down

Kim  never gives herself credit for being creative.  But I know she is and our table setting shows it 

 To much food for the table needed a little buffet style for the main course

 Gifts for our friends from Korea 

 Little Korean display of Soju number one drink in Korea 

 Finished cake looks great need to check close for finger holes in the icing 

 Outside setup is ready for boil and wings perfect setup 

Ok just so you know I did use my secret recipe and you thought you were getting it, but I don't think so  just a little tease 

Jack Daddy sauce almost done and yes that is butter melting the two fat ladies don't have anything on me 

 My traditional Jordo buffalo style sauce perfect bite to the wing 

 Finished sauce ready for the out side burners one trick I like is to bring my sauce to a boil when I add the cooked wings seems to pick up more flavor 

getting ready for the Shrimp Boil I pulled a recipe of the internet, seems to have worked out well.  Washed red potatoes waiting to go in the boil.  Onions and potatoes in first  

 Getting the onions pealed.  Little boiler onions take a little longer to peal then large onions

s

sauces on and close to boil wings frying and cold beer that has my name on it all is coming together nicely  

Oh yes the finished meal and yes I did over cook for eight but if you know me as Kim always says if it is worth doing it is worth over doing.  great night with friends we ate we laughed we drank sitting around a fire pit doesn't getting any better than this
