Food for the Day

My meals on Sunday.
Johhny at The Lean Saloon had a short and sweet, great post  late last week. Give it a look.

Two meals for the day;

Two eggs fried up in some bacon grease and scallions. Topped with grass fed raw cheddar cheese. 2 strawberries, a few slices of banana, tomato and some celery for crunch factor. This "breakfast" was filling and very satisfying.

"Margarita Steak"

Grass fed loin steak.....so many marinades, so little time ;-)

I was putting some wine away in my wine fridge, and noticed far in the back a close to finished bottle of "margarita mix". Left over from a part a while back, this mix has the tequila in it. So as I was about to throw it out, I thought: hey! perfect little marinade. I mean it has citrus and tequila. I cut up some garlic,onion and jalapeno and added that to the liquid. I marinated it for a day and a half. When I was ready to grill (used my charcoal grill for this one) I put the left over marinade in a sauce pan, boiled it and reduced it down a bit for basting purposes.

Yes, there is al ready a piece missing, had to try it you know?

Slice against the grain, nice and thin.

I used a "minimal" fire for this one. Direct heat, but not a blazing fire. Just some smoldering wood charcoals.
I also put a few small red bliss potatoes on the grill. Once the meat was done, I just closed the lid and let the potatoes cook a bit more. While the potatoes were doing their thing, I made a quick guacamole with tomato,onion, cilantro and a dash of garlic powder. (in the picture topped with a dab of greek yogurt). Nice salad to go along with it. The dressing I made will be topic for another post.

Coming up...Pickled Beets, Whey and Synchronicity.

Make it a great day
