Juicy Lucy and French Fries

Is there anything better than a hamburger? Certainly not many things. Especially when the beef is locally sourced and ground, and the burger is made at home. Usually we eat hamburgers only during the summer months when we can cook them on the grill, but here in Minnesota that is a LONG time to wait, so tonight we are frying them on the stove. Daryl picked up the beef at the Heartland's deli, which I have mentioned before here. When you are having a hamburger, in my mind, there is no other side to have other than french fries, which I have also given that recipe previously here.

Ingredients:
1 lb of high quality ground beef
2 fire roasted jalapenos
2 T. Cheese, we used Wisconsin Sartori Montamore cheese
2 Hamburger buns
3 or 4 Pomodori al Forno Tomatoes
1 T. mayo/ sriracha mix
2 eggs, fried
1 sweet onion, sliced and caramelized
Salt and pepper

Daryl prepared the beef patty earlier today by first fire roasting 2 jalapenos, He roasted the jalapenos on a burner on the stove. Each jalapeno took about 3-4 minutes. Next, he diced Wisconsin's Sartori Montamore cheese creating a little ball of those 2 ingredients and then stuffed them between to 1/4 oz patties of ground beef. It's best to prepare these at least an hour before you are planning on cooking them so that they can create a better seal.

Daryl fried both of the eggs in the olive oil from the Pomodori al Forno, over easy. Set aside until the burgers are both done.

Fry the patties over medium high heat. For medium rare about 3 minutes per side.

We buttered both buns and toasted in the same pan that the burgers were cooked in. Then we spread the mayo/sriracha mix on one side and the pomodori al forno on the other. Place each patty on the bun and then place the the egg on top of each patty.

Almost done....forgot the onions!

Coffee Rubbed Filet Mignon with Ancho Mushroom Sauce, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts

It really was as good, or even better then it looks! Tonight's meal is all Daryl! He asked me what I wanted and my response was something like, "Meat sounds good, clean, not a lot of cheese, cream etc..." and what he came up with was Coffee Rubbed Filet Mignon with Ancho Mushroom Sauce, Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts. Did I marry a good man or what?! I also thought another Cesar Salad sounded good so, you guessed it - we're having one! We are huge fans of Bobby Flay and we chose his recipes a lot. I have said before that his recipes can be pretty time consuming, but there are days when that can be fun, and this was one of those days. Daryl enjoys the steps that he has in his recipes, it makes it interesting for him, and a it is a challenge. I am grateful to Bobby because of him I get to eat awesome food!

Seared Tuna, Yellowtail and Salmon with Three Dipping Sauces

Simply delicious! These were pan seared on the stove. This is a perfect light summer meal! I have made it using the grill and the stove top and they were both fabulous! I am not a huge fan of the Orange-Ginger Sauce but I included it here just in case you were interested in trying it. There is nothing off putting about it, I just don't care for the orange flavor with the fish. For a side dish I simply have either roasted asparagus or a corn salad. (See separate post) Also, the fish monger at Coastal Seafood informed me that yellowtail is synonymous with Hamachi (the one on the right). I enjoyed the salmon and the tuna more so the second time I made this I only used those two, again your preference.(Another Bobbly Flay fav) Ingredients 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, sliced into 1-inch think strips 1 pound skinless tuna loin, sliced into 1-inch thick strips 1 pound yellowtail fillet, sliced tino 1-inch-thick strips Canola oil...

Grilled Corn and Tomato-Sweet Onion Salad with Fresh Basil Dressing and Crumbled Blue Cheese

Fresh ingredients = simple deliciousness! (is that a word? It must be spell check didn't tell me otherwise!) It's August in Minnesota which means the Farmer's Markets are filled with delicious and home grown produce! It is my favorite time of year to eat! Although I enjoy fresh corn on the cob I don't necessarily enjoy eating it off the cob so I am always looking for ways to make it with the kernels removed. Once I discovered this recipe I quit looking! It has everything in it from the Farmer's Market. If summer had a taste, this would be it! (Thanks to Bobbly Flay for this one ) It is a great accompaniment to any meal. We have had it with fish and steak. I have a also had the leftovers for lunch the following day! Ingredients: 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves 1 teaspoon sugar Salt Freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 8 ears corn, grilled in the husk, kernels removed 1 sweet onion ...
