What did you have for dinner II?

[VolFaninFla]

PIZZA!
Pepperoni & Sausage.

 

[ArdentVol]

wife dished up some good chili
'it was heavy with ground beef and topped with cheese

 

[Border Vol]

My dinner today will be baked boneless chicken breast with baked potato.

 

[VolNExile]

Lunch just now was leftover corned beef on ciabatta with Dijon mustard. Yum!

I have to buy the rib roast, asking them to preserve the cap whole for me. The eye flesh makes for fine medium rare steaks, so I enjoy the cap and the eye in due time. Butcher always likes my order.

OK. So that delicious outer band on a ribeye that melts in your mouth is what you have cut off the roast whole. Got it. That little strip is the only reason I buy ribeyes or prime rib for the grill or dining in.

Here’s one link
How to Trim a Prime Rib to Make Ribeye Cap and Ribeye Filet Steaks
This one has a good illustration of the cap, eye, and tail.

Note: I have purchased a rib roast and cut it up myself (I save & cook the ribs separately), but, these days, the butchers I patronize will do the cutting for me the way I like it at no extra charge.

I’ve also cooked an entire rib cap on the grill without rolling it, tying it, and cutting it into individual portions. Sliced it for serving. Diners got pieces of various degrees of doneness as they desired.

Do you make the empanadas or buy them? Deep-fried or baked?

—Or duh me, did you go to a Cuban restaurant?

I buy them and the Cuban Sandwich at La Semilla, a Colombian restaurant in Tampa.

Empanadas are a real challenge to make so I prefer to buy them from someone who knows what they are doing. These are fried.
Have you ever tried making them?

I have, and I think they would have been pretty good (flavor, etc.) but I didn’t want to go the deep-fry route, so I baked them. Not a happy result.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Pork Tonkatsu, rice, and Asian sweet carrots.

 

[71VOL]

Every March, we ask ourselves why we don’t make corned beef more often. And then we don’t.

 

[Tin Man]

Pan poached sockeye salmon filet, yellow rice, wilted spinach

Yummy!

 

[Border Vol]

Dinner today is hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and peas.

 

[GVF]

I'm thinking maybe linguini with clam sauce tonight. Maybe add some scallops. Or not. Skillet roasted brussell spouts might be good with that.
