QUOTE(m.f. @ Mar 24 2006, 02:11 PM)  steak pizzaeola i don't even really know for sure what that is, but it has steak and it sounds like pizza so that sounds pretty sweet Steak pizzaiola is basically just steak cooked with tomatoes and Italian seasonings. I kind of think that's sacrilege to do to a good cut of steak, but to each his or her own. |

I think the NY strip wins. Roasted potatoes. Asparagus.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of food: Has anyone here ever made an authentic mole poblano from scratch? It's a bit involved, but something I'd like to give a go.

I can sear a strip at home easily enough too. If someone else is doing the cooking.....give me rack of lamb, venison or veal chop, confit of duck, roast pork loin, etc. |

When someone else is doing the cooking, I like to have something that I wouldn't--or couldn't easily--make for myself. However, sometimes when you're in the mood for it, a really good steak served with something fresh and green and something rich and starchy just can't be beat. |

Actually, yeah, I forgot about the "someone else cooking" aspect. Probably the pork tenderloin, then. This one, it's yummy.

a quick question before I go home to cook for a house full of people - is it wrong to go through with a dinner party and cook food for people when you think you have the early stages of the flu? I have a dilemma on my hands for certain!

I wish this thread was more what do you want for your favorite meal but I was limited on what I knew Tom could make without getting stressed out.

Oh I wasn't dismissing the steak entirely. If we were talking what would you most likely throw on the grill this summer by the pool? A nice fat ribeye or strip can't be beat. Grill the asparagus right along w/ it, and a big pile of home-made potato salad.....mmm-hmmmm. |
