Of Dutch Ovens...Cast Iron, and finally being back in the Saddle!!

Chubby · February 2006

<p />For about the last 3 weeks,(due to a re-ocurance of an old injury and my Eggs being packed up during some extensive remodeling)...It's been waaaay too long since I played the "flame game"![p]Today..I remedied that situation....and it felt gooood!![p]Since I got back to feeling like my old self...I've been on an Egg'n terror...feeding anyone who'll stop long enough to eat!!!![p]The other day I did Skirt steak, peppers,chilis, and onions for some Gringo Fajitas...(feeding the painters and trim carpenters you know)![p]Today I repeated said cook for my neighbor and myself.[p]
After establishing my fire,(pic above) @ 500...I'm ready to drop in Mr.Dutch Oven for a good pre-heat![p][p]Peppers, Chilis, and Onions... tossed with Grapeseed oil, Salt and Pepper, ground Cumin and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice.[p] [p]Develope some color,re-season, and cook till soft (but still with some crunch)![p][p]Pull "Mr Dutch" off the fire...place some tortillas wrapped in foil on top of the Veggies...cover and set aside .[p]Drop in your Grate...get'er smokin' and sear off your Skirt steak.
(This was about 4 mins a side @ 500 degrees).[p] [p]Here's the "Money shot"...!![p][p]
Pull your steak...cover and let rest a few minutes. [p]Get your fixins together, slice against the grain...[p]and build your own Fajitas!![p]Even the painters gave me the "not bad for a Gringo...thumbs up"!![p]Sure feels good to be back in the Saddle again!![p]Evans[p][p][p][p]

Chubby,[p]I agree with LR! I feel the hurt![p]I'm posting Sunday morning, before breakfast, and wondering if I can whip together your fajitas in the next few minutes . . . ?[p]How do you think they would go with eggs???[p](NICE shots!)[p]Dobie - 'Slobbering All Over Himself' - Dad

WFD146,[p]Thanks...but to your comment:[p]"I felt like I was in the Egg with 'em"[p]At those temps...my guess it's a better place to visit...than to live![p]LOL!!!![p]Evans

Chubby,
Glad to hear you're back in shape. Gratemates are working exactly as expected. I'm having Chili tonight, and will try your fajitas next week
