Rickey 5's CRAZY Friday Dinner!!
Some pre-game and prep shots:
Dutch Oven with a Bourbon/Black Cherry Wine Demi-Glaise front right. Confit garlic and shallots in the double boiler.
What could be in the steam kettle?
15oz. Dry Aged Angus Stripies and fresh picked Sugar Snap Peas. Salt, pepper and a dot of olive oil on everything. Just warming up on the table for a few while other magic happens.
That's a 50 sack of Littleneck Clams...soaking in fresh water for the 3rd and final rinse (ZERO sand) inside my thrift store stainless collander which I absolutely LOVE for all things drained.
Wide open on the Weber gas grill. One flip baby, like it's sposta bee...with a little Hotel style sauce which is just a dot of butter with some garlic and lemon juice...keeps the steaks super juicy and shiny and does not get in the way of the umptuos beefy goodness that dry aged steaks have in Spades.
Those Sugar Snaps feeling the heat of the wide open Weber...creeping on 600°F. These things are amazing on the grill if you got enough heat...had a little hotel sauce left from the Sexy Strippers, so I thickend it up with a little parmesan and used the rest on the snappy doodles. Cooked in my non-stick holey grill saute type pan....another score from Goodwill.
Time for a quick puff before DINNER!!
GWK from Phisto & Broo Mayza from DP
Two plates and two bowls. For those of you who are not human calculators like myself, that would be a nice twenty five sack of steamed clams each...with a lil bit of butter. Mid-rare Angus Strips with the badass Bourbon and Black Cherry Demi. Snappie Mclovins. Filling out the starch role is a Red Potato and Turnip Smash with white cheddar and the confit shallots and garlic from above in the double boiler that went for about an hour.
You ready for this pic??
That's one of the best food pics I have ever taken, bar none. A real big thanks to Nurse Practioner Bubbles for making this possible. WOW....that was truly unreal.
