Steak and scallops

blind99 · December 2014

Felt like a little surf and turf. Picked up a hanger steak and a few scallops. Hanger steak and the CI skillet went on direct at 400-450, cooked to IT 128. Final temp after rest was 132. I made a red wine and gorgonzola sauce for it. Let the egg get real hot, and while the steak was resting, scallops went into ghee in the CI and seared for a few minutes on each side. I cooked with no DFMT on the egg like some others have mentioned recently, I have to say I liked not fiddling around with it.

Sorry the pix are crappy! Merry Xmas,

That looks amazing- tell me more about the sauce... Brussel sprouts are one of my favorites

thanks @tulocay @theyolksonyou @wolfpack ! Share the recipe, come on?! hah, j/k

I was just messing around, but the sauce tasted good. If I did it again I'd do something like this:

Cook some onions in butter until softened. Add about 1.5 cups red wine and 2 tbs tomato paste and reduce a bit. Strain and save the liquid. Make a roux with 2 tbs butter and tbs flour, then whisk in the saved liquid. Then add some gorgonzola. I probably used about 3 tbs or so? Like I said I was messing around so I'm sorry I don't have a real recipe.

I steamed the sprouts in the microwave for 3 minutes, and honestly thought a diaper needed changing. Then tossed in olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika, and roasted at 425. The roasting really makes them sweet. Love those things!

I usually par boil mine then shock in ice bath before putting in a skillet with some honey and bacon.

Thanks for sharing will try them like you made them.

yum!

@Wolfpack‌ that sounds awesome, do you sauté the sprouts in the bacon then add the honey at the end? I want to try that way for sure

Thanks @nolaegghead‌ and @Sammi‌ the plates are definitely my wife's - she gets into the Christmas spirit. I'm more of a happy Scrooge
