Filet Minon. A petite/petit (don't argue language semantics) beef
filet, about 2 inches thick. Quite nice!

I'll be pan searing it in a small cast iron skillet which is just the
perfect size for cooking a burger or a small steak. That's all I ever
use this skillet for.

I've seasoned the beef filet with coarsely ground black pepper and salt.
It's been resting, wrapped, in the fridge. I might make a little
garlic-herb butter to top the steak with.

Vegetable sides. I've got asparagus. I'm leaning towards that. I've
got brussels sprouts. I've got yellow squash and spinach. Corn on the
cob, previously grilled, would just require a quick reheat. Decisions,
decisions.

Anyone cooking anything interesting today? Breakfast, lunch, dinner/supper?

They say that béarnaise sauce goes great on steak.

I cooked two one-pound rolls of breakfast sausage this morning to have for the
next week or so. A couple of patties were enjoyed between two biscuits.

For Sunday dinner tonight a strip steak, asparagus, and a baked tater...dessert will be Häagen-Dazs® vanilla ice cream with red raspberries....

For work lunches this week I made some brown rice, veg, ground pork with Asian - style soy and peanut sauces...can be eaten hot or cold...

Why not use the English word "fillet", then you can rhyme it with
"skillet" if you write poetry:-)

If you write filet mignon, you can have it wit a bit of au jus.

Good flavor combinations. Most times with steak I have a Cabernet but
not always asparagus. Mushrooms and onions too!

Not that spectacular but here's dinner:

Cast iron pan of potatoes: added olive oil, onions, dry minced garlic
(out of fresh just now), Fenugreek, a little kosher salt.

2 cobs of corn, steamed in husk.

Gai Lan (chinese broccoli) steamed with the corn.

Fresh cut mango.

It works for me. I cab merlot can be good too. Lightly sauteed
mushrooms, asparagus or some other green vegetable. I like to have a
salad with blue cheese dressing with it.

We are having a boring old roast chicken style Sunday dinner. Roasted
potatoes, green beans and salad. I went to the bakery this afternoon and
picked up a small lemon curd meringue pie for dessert.

We're having leftover Thanksgiving that has been vac packed and
frozen. All I need do it pop it into boiling water and let it heat up
in its vac pack.

Green salad, maybe some cranberry relish.

Next Sunday I think we'll repeat St. Patrick's Day in a similar
manner.

I love that kind of dinner. There are certain days I cook and days I
just want something to be there. Congratulations on your prepared
dinner. I guess I should get out the gift I received, that seal a
meal.

Exactly. I look forward to a decent meal, but have no interest in
prepping it. Granted, broiling or grilling a steak or chop isn't
complicated, but nothing beats a homemade favorite and not a dirty
dish in sight other than the two plates it is eaten from.

>Congratulations on your prepared

LOL! Thank you.

> I guess I should get out the gift I received, that seal a

I think you will like it. We have had great success with it and have
found it practical with baked goods, too. The only leftover we do not
vac is soup. That gets put into Rubbermaid containers.

No cooking, unless you count cheesy garlic bread in the toaster oven.

Today in (or related to) the kitchen: pull up some water-damaged subfloor,
buy a sheet of 3/4" plywood to replace it, clean the range hood and stow it
in the garage untill we're ready to reinstall it. Plus some general cleanup of
the work site, move some tools that we're finished using back to the workshop, etc.

Crab and Asparagus Quiche. Being that we are beginning to be bombarded with asparagus from the garden.
Crab meat, asparagus, onions, red bell peppers, a few cubes of cream cheese, some Old Bay seasoning, and the usual eggs and cream, with some shredded Swiss cheese on the bottom of the (all-butter) crust and on top of the quiche. A fav around Beitelville.

It was tasty. Best part was leftover chicken. I used some of the cold
chicken to make chicken salad sandwiches for supper tonight. I had some
low sodium chicken broth in the fridge and used some of it to make a
tasty soup. I added one star anise, a couple basil leaves, a little bit
of low sodium soy sauce and lime juice. As my wife's suggestion a threw
in some small egg noodles. Delicious.

Thats what we do with the breasts where we load one in the vertcal
rotisserie. Don and I both prefer dark meat so eat that but the
breasts make a nice chicken salad.

Like the soup too! I've not tried a star anise in one. Left it whole
to simmer in there?

I forgot to mention the hot pepper. I used half a birds eye pepper and
that seems to give a nice heat without overdoing it. So... roughly two
cups low sodium broth, one star anise, half a pepper, a couple basil
leaves, a tsp of low sodium and a squeeze of juice. Simmer it for about
5 minutes. I cooked it longer this time because of the noodles. Remove
the pepper and star anise and server.... or leave them in but don't eat
them.

OK but fairly bland. I will never buy one again.
Many other cuts of beef have more flavor.

Vertical rôtisserie? That sounds great for making middle eastern kebabs. I liked those while I was in Germany.

Tenderness is the main attraction. I'll take a rib eye for flavor at
half the price.

Sounds good! I don't have birds eye peppers here but I get the idea of
it. Probably 3/4 inch anaheim pepper worth would work?

I like them for a shift now and again but not really my top choice here.

Oh, Gary Petite/Petit is one of those things that vary by language.
French vs American version of English. Possible Jill has perused a lot
of French recipes (nothing wrong with that). It's a feminine noun set
I believe so petit is actually correct in French. It would be petite
in American English to carry same 'sense of meaning' over.

Same here, not that I scoff at Filet Mingnon if offered!

It wasn't at all bland. I pretty much described how I seasoned it but
I'll say it again. Sprinkled well with coarse salt and coarsely ground
black pepper, well wrapped in plastic. Let it sit, in the refrigerator.
It's best if you do this overnight. I prepped it in the early morning
and didn't cook the steak until the evening so the results were very
similar.

I seared it quick and hot. This one was nicely marbled, beautifully
seared and cooked to rare. I had been musing about garlic-herb butter
but opted for just a small pat of butter. Trust me, there was nothing
bland about it. And it was extremely tender.

Aren't you the guy who said you use Worcestershire sauce when you cook
all cuts of beef?

Actually, it is an adjective and in French there is often add an e to
the adjective of a feminine noun.

I like filet mignon, but it has to be rare or else it gets tough and
loses flavour.

Yes.

And I keep wondering what cshenk's "feminine noun set" is.

The Scoville Unit of Birds Eye peppers is in the neighborhood of
100,000, An Anaheim pepper is a mild pepper that can vary from maybe
500 to 1200
Watch out for those tiny peppers (birds eye), they're nasty hot

We use them a lot but have to be very careful. I have to cut them very
finely and get them well distributed in the dish because they are so
powerful. I have been making this soup for a while and used to finely
slice the peppers but getting a piece was pretty severe heat. It is
just too damned odd. Lately I got into the habit of using only half a
pepper and just simmering it in the soup for a while and then removing
it. That leaves a nice heat.
