Dinner and a movie!
Sometimes wuffamutes cook. Not always very well, and even more rarely on time, but once in a while everything flows together. Tonight was such a night! I set forth to make a quick meal of Gorgonzola flank steak pinwheels in my own special way. With furious glares and curse words and sexual innuendos. It took less than an hour and the results were very satisfactory. And so with that I shall take you on a tour of the process.
Step 1) It's a good idea to prepare your cooking area by distracting all dangerous predators.
Mission accomplished!
Step 2) Prepare your meat.
You can find many recipes on tehwebz and from friends. I picked a gorgonzola and blue cheese mix, grilled onions, and baby spinach leaves. You may want to change the mix and substitute asiago or whatever crumbled cheese you like. Shucks, use havarti for all I fucking care. It's still gonna be good. You can use a toothpick or in my case twine to keep the steaks in place.
Step 3) Choose your weapons carefully.
I decided to make this a rather open dish. You'll find iceberg lettuce, fresh tomatoes, garlic, steak fries, and a few seasonings there. I decided to go with a pinch each of salt, black pepper, wasabi powder, and madras curry powder. Then a big fucking spoon (tm) spoon of parmesan. Be sure to look for the trademark as it's proven that brand is the best! Heat your cooking surface and set your fries to cook. The rest will all be done faster than you think!
Step 4) Fire is your friend with benefits!
I like my grill. Note, this is not a barbecue, because that uses REAL flames and everyone around here seems to be afraid of that. Adjust the heat to your liking, as you can easily have these well done within 15 minutes. Just in time for your fries! Place apart to ensure even distribution of heat.
Step 5) Looks like snow!
Isn't it almost May? Fuck.
Step 6) Check and garnish!
Make sure things are going well with your food after a few minutes. I flipped mine with care to keep the sear marks aligned, then topped with a fresh slice of the tomatoes I showed earlier. Also, I found some blocks of pepper jack. You can't ever go wrong with pepper jack! (Unless you suck)
Step 7) Oh crap I forgot something! No worries!
Okay, go back inside real fast and toss equal parts butter and olive oil in a pan. Grapeseed oil if you have it! Heat it up while mixing in some finely diced garlic, then toss in the pepper, salt, curry, wasabi, and maybe a dash of parmesean. Not much though! Once that's all melted and mixed, pour your fries into a pan, drizzle, saute on high heat for a minute, then sprinkle with the leftover cheese.
Step 8) OMG!
Your fries glow under black light! Bonus! But yeah, you should totally make a bed of them on a plate or something. Ya know, for the meat.
Step 9) Why is the meat done so soon? >.<
Okay, that was kinda sudden. The meat finished cooking, and I had barely enough time to place the lettuce, drape the meat over it cut the twine that kept it in place, and then garnish with Jamaican beer. Pose next to mangoes, apples in a pot, a Puerto Rican deity mask, and then jiggle yourself.
Step 10) Whatever, I'm done now. Was it good for you too?
