I suppose. This one looks like they threw the steak onto a dirty plate from the other side of the kitchen! No offense again, but I've never been a fan of Outback. But everybody has his own thing. Around here in recent years, the big steak house chain has been Texas Roadhouse. My son is the kitchen manager of the store in Grand Forks North Dakota and the place is filled to the rafters every night! Not my favorite restaurant either, but steak houses are surely very popular.

mike 51 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Just to be clear Steve, I think it's disgusting too and I would send that mess straight back to the kitchen. (unfortunately I think one has to pay for what they order?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Tonight it was good old fashioned pot roast. Nothing better on a cool fall night! The meat was a little dry, but it was delicious just the same. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unfortunately I think one has to pay for what they order?) Sure, good idea. And the next dish will look more presentable but will have some "special sauce" or another surprise in or under it (if you know what I mean). I do not like to be nasty to the waiters or cooks in restaurant until *AFTER* I finish my meal. Call me overly cautious . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the already tender meat and put in with your veggies/potatoes and cook until the veggies are done. Meat comes out like it has been slow cooked for hours, and the veggies aren't over cooked.

crazyjim Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Marcia bought an InstantPot last year. Pot roast is delicious! So is corn on the cob, hard boiled eggs, and everything we use it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodent Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I have been a little bit behind in posting in this thread. Friends came over last Saturday. Ribeye steaks on the Weber, rock lobster tails under the broiler, baked potatoes, green beans. My apologies for the two glasses of chardonnay on the table and the A1 for the guest who likes medium well meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Another Ribeye from a couple weeks ago, with a baked potato and green beans. Gorgonzola on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Tonight's dinner. Hung out with old (er) folks at the Cracker Barrel that recently opened. Even the old people said the food was bland. At least it was cheap. Mashed potatoes were ok, and the chicken fried chicken wasn't horrible.

OldTrucker Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Leftover homemade goulash and buttered bread! Tastes even better second time around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Goulash is great the second, third and fourth time around too. Next time, add some diced potatoes, chick peas and plenty o' curry powder into the leftover goulash. Get some square bread, fill the center with the goulash and you have yourself a beef roti Most excellent, I tell you. You can do the same with stewed chicken, fish and yes........goat meat. All taste good. Calypso sauce optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 I haven't posted here in a while, but I have taken a few photos. "Pear & Blue Cheese Pizzas". A little too "foo foo" for my taste, but I will admit, it wasn't bad. Pears, mozzarella & blue cheese, caramelized onions and smoked almonds. "Rigatoni with Tomato Cream". This one looks a little bland, but it was really rich! Rigatoni, mushrooms, garlic and red bell pepper in a cream sauce made basically from tomato paste, cream & vegetable base. Croutons are ciabatta bread cubed & toasted with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Tonight I made "Oven BBQ Beef Sandwiches" & "3 Cheese Twice Baked Potatoes". These are the type of "oven meals" that will become much more common in our house now that the cold weather is setting in. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
