Thread: just wanted to share tonight's dinner with you guys..

Looks mighty good from here.

For years now on St. Patty's Day we don't have 'corned beef and cabbage' per say; we have Rubin Sandwiches along with steamed cabbage and carrots topped with a sauce made from the liquid that the beef was braised in.

I remove the exterior fat then brown the beef in a little oil before covering with the mixture.

Browned and ready to get going;



Liquid added and ready for the oven;



After a couple of hours the brisket was drained, thinly sliced and the sandwiches were being assembled. Sauerkraut and Swiss cheese/It doesn't show but I make my own 1000 Island Dressing for this.



Buttered and ready to be grilled;



Done and the grandkids wanted to eat NOW! And no the sandwiches aren't burnt, it's just a really dark rye bread.



I sent the leftovers home and they won't last long.

My ankle still looks more like my thigh but I was able to manage some pizza tonight. These don't look like typical pizza ingredients but they were. It had my duck confit, caramelized onions, roasted garlic, figs, Emmenthaler and Comte cheeses.

A while back I posted a beef stew and it didn't have much beef. "Where's the beef?" Well I'm hoping to redeem myself with tonight's dinner. Steak in a blazing hot cast iron pan.

I let the steak come to room temp for almost an hour while the baked potatoes were in the oven. When the potatoes were almost done I set the cast iron pan to high and let it get hot for about ten minutes. With the exhaust fan going I salted the bottom of the pan and threw in the meat. 1 minute on the first side, flip, 30 seconds, flip, 30 seconds, flip... for 4 or 5 minutes. Then out of the pan to rest while I got the bread ready. I forgot pictures of the potatoes and bread though.

My friend, you are welcome here at the Boars Nest Anytime. We can share Beef, Pork, Chicken, Venison and maybe even a little veggies and carbohydrates on the side.
