App: Lamb over garlic and rosemary infused grits Main course: beef tenderloin

Had good friends stop by.  Wanted to try  something new along with an old favorite. Thought about a twist with the Lamb. So I infused the milk and cream used for the grits (complements of @northGAcock )  with garlic and rosemary since the lamb had the same seasoning. 





After steeping for about 10 mins, I strained the milk and made the grits as normal. 

Lamb ready for the egg:

Lamb after quick sear on the MM


Plated:


The beef tenderloin finished with perfect timing as we finished the appetizer. I seared it then served with carrots, Armenian pilaf and homemade bread. 





Dessert was cookies in cast iron cooked on the egg. Here they are cooling:


It was a pretty good meal.

    In the same meal you have two hunks of protein that look about 800 times better than anything I will put out all year. That is just awesome! You should definitely plan on weekly visits from your guests after that spread. And, I didn't even mention the bread.

    Thanks for all the nice comments. It was a great meal with great friends.
    I will be honest and state that after I steeped the garlic and rosemary in the milk/cream and tasted it before adding the grits, that I almost dumped it and started over. But I said what the hell - I am going all in. I am glad I did.  The flavor complemented the lamb wonderfully.  The proof in the pudding was when the husband, after eating the main course, stated “This might be a little rude, while the filet was cooked and seasoned perfectly, have any more lamb and grits? I have had lamb and I have had grits, but that was stupendous combination and would love another dish of that”
    Needless to say, he got another plate.

    It was a fun meal with good friends. Nights like this make up for putting up with all the Mon-Fri crap.
