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...

Cioppino

Daryl starting preparing the yeast 2 weeks ago for Basic Country Bread, taken from Tartine Bread by Chad Robertson. Today it was ready to use. So the big question was, what to make for dinner that would be tasty and would highlight the bread. I wanted something completely different from the gravy laden Thanksgiving Feast that we have enjoyed for 2 days now. Something you should know about us is that I prefer lighter meals with fish, seafood, and vegtables and Daryl is a good old fashioned what we call here int the midwest, a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy. Don't get the wrong idea - I do love meat and potatoes! Daryl, occasionally will agree to a meal of fish or seafood. Basic country bread right out of the oven. I knew the meal that would make us both happy and go really well with the bread was, Cioppino! We are lucky that here in the midwest, end of November, we are able to get fresh seafood locally from Coastal Seafood . It is the place that ...
