Anniversary Pork Chop

Gregg and I are celebrating our 3rd year Anniversary tomorrow, so I made our Anniversary dinner today. I decided to make pork chop because of it has been sitting in the fridge for awhile. I learnt from Chef Neda roasting the meat by using butter, garlic and thyme and sprinkle of salt. The end result was really good, with red wine sauce. Hope this will give you an idea to celebrate love.

Recipe soon.

A New York Steak of Mind

Every once in a while you just want a great steak. Here is a simple recipe, with basic ingredients that you probably have, that come together to make a fantastic steak for that once in a while occassion.

Ingredients
1/4 cup Cider Vinegar
2 tbsp. Sesame Oil
2 tbsp. Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Ketchup
4 tbsp. White Granulated Sugar
3 tbsp. Teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup Chopped onions
1/2 stick butter
1/4 cup Wine/licqeur (Cointreau)

• Directions:
• Salt and Pepper the New York steaks on both sides.
• Add a little ground thyme
• Put on a rack for 15 minutes at 250 degrees (this will make the steak much juicier, since it will later cook in the pan, faster and more even)
• Sear with butter in a skillet both sides until evenly brown, approx. 2 minutes each side at medium heat
• Take out the steak, let it rest
• Caramelize the onions in the same pan with brown butter
• Add the rest of the ingredients and reduce the sauce for approx. 10 minutes.
• Drizzle over the steak and serve

Then get a nice big steak knife and dig in!
(A good combination to this is some fried rice and sauteed squash, as you see above).
