Very nice @Dyal_SC ! Beautiful presentation.

I think in most families chow time is announced by “it’s dinner time” or something like that. But for eggheads, etc. it’s usually “are you done taking pictures?!?”

Love the attention given to the jalapeños. I need to get photography tips from you.

Egging alone while consuming adult beverages tend to result in an abundance of pictures.

@MasterC.That all looks so good, extra points for all the cutlery 😉

Tomorrow is our 43rd anniversary, but I have to work - I have two 12 - hour days left for this refueling outage. We decided to celebrate tonight instead. This idea started when we were at Costco this past weekend and they had some 2" thick prime ribeyes and Dungeness crab clusters. I'm sure some of you can guess where this is going.

Put the steaks in to the hot tub naked around 1 PM at 133 F. We then had a couple appointments to go to and errands to run. After we got home we got our mise en place on, getting everything prepped and ready to go. All in the steaks bathed for around 5 1/2 hours.

I uncorked a bottle of Duckhorn Cab to let it breathe while prepping.

I followed the Serious Eats recipe for Steak Oscar - first time making a béarnaise sauce - Kenji's recipe was super simple - put it in a bowl over a pan of previously simmered water to keep it warm without breaking:

Next up I took the steaks out of the hot tub, patted them dry, and seasoned liberally with salt and pepper. Seared for 1 minutes per side in a screaming hot CI pan, then transferred to a warm plate, loosely tented, and in to a 140 F oven.

Added some water to the pan and sautéed the asparagus until lightly browned, it then went on to another plate in the oven.

Next up I added some butter and garlic to the pan and warmed the crab through.

The crab was then tossed with some lemon juice and paprika.

Finally it was time to assemble - lay down some asparagus spears, top with the steaks, add the crab, the béarnaise, and some seasoned, toasted panko breadcrumbs.

Turned out to be an amazing meal, I'd put it up against any high end steak house.

Happy 43rd anniversary to my amazing wife Valerie.

Just WOW!!!! Happy Anniversary 👏👏

Canugghead · May 15

@CTMike Amazing meal for an amazing couple. Happy 43rd to you both!
Edit: btw, this post should be in a standalone thread, right @lousubcap?

dbCooper · May 15

@CTMike - Great looking meal. Congrats to you both on the anniversary!

caliking · May 15

Of course, I get to follow @CTMike ‘s spectacular cook… f my luck 😃

SV’ed a couple of ribeyes. Warm aged method (103 x 1hr, 120 x 1hr, then 135 x2ish hrs). Caveman finish on the ol’ Lodge Sportsman that’s been neglected for a while.

Jacket spuds on the side, with ‘shrooms and onions (not pictured).

It all ate well. caliprince, and I, snagged most of the cap off the ribeyes

johnmitchell · May 15

@caliking. Nothing shabby about that midweek feast. Fantastic as usual 😋😋

CTMike · May 15

@caliking,

That's some fine looking eats right there.

lousubcap · May 15

@caliking - a cook of beauty. Nailed those steaks. Great move on the cap steal.

Glad @caliking stepped in and followed @CTMike!

Made Maangchi’s Fire Salmon courtesy of @CTMike and @BeanHead. Came out very very good! Will probably add more red pepper flakes and maybe some Taekyung Red Pepper Powder next time for some more heat. Fried rice cakes was new to me, but with the salmon it added a nice texture contrast. Also made some broiled cauliflower with Taekyung Powder and Sate powder. Cucumber salad (ginger and garlic) paired perfectly. Gewürztraminer wine which was slightly sweet went well too.

note in cooking with salmon … recipe calls for adding 1/4 cup water then reducing. Salmon cooks faster than the chicken, so next time I plan to add just a splash of water (I also doubled the tamari - I use that instead of soy sauce)

BeanHead · May 15

Looks perfect @Ozzie_Isaac I am glad you like it with the salmon! I up the pepper flakes and garlic with the salmon and it is a good thing.

lousubcap · May 15

Great plate right there, a banquet waiting to be enjoyed. However, the tableware placement on the left setting is backward.

johnmitchell · May 15

@Ozzie_Isaac. Sounds and looks fantastic. Had to google pretty much everything except salmon 😂

I used about 10 cloves instead of the three it called for 🤣. I used @caliking ‘s approach to garlic.

No wonder it turned out so well! I'd crush that plate. Everything on it looks delicious.

you're right. A pic like that doesn't need any words. Those wangs look perfect.
