Mike's 10 Minute Complete Porterhouse Steak Dinner Mike's 10 Minute Complete Porterhouse Steak Dinner
I adore the fact that my culinary students are so very willing to help out the less fortunate. This week, they decided to feed the women and children at our local battered women's shelter. Not only did my 6, 7, 8 and 9 year olds come up with the entire menu, they fully documented it, photographed it and delivered it all by 6 30 am for the New Years holliday. I couldn't be any more proud of you kids!P.S., they quadrupled this recipe. 😆 MMOBRIEN -
Mike's Grilled Citrus Seafood Dinner Mike's Grilled Citrus Seafood Dinner
When I accept any new student, they'll usually spend about a month learning about the basics of most all international cuisines, their ingredients, techniques and global herbs and spices. Following that, they can cook anything their crazy hearts and colorful little imaginations can conjure!This what my newest little renegade student wanted to create last evening for his parents. On his very first attempt at cooking - he chose to grill. Talk about an adventurous little challenge huh? ;0)Anyway, this entire recipe and presentation is a first time submission by my newer 7 year old student who's Austistic. So Autistic in fact, that he needs to be taught in private sessions. [know that both he and his parents gave me permission to print that] But, check him out fellow Cookpad Cooks and Chefs! No excuses - no boundaries - no limitations! And, check out his photos!Joey's entire meal was not only crazy easy but, so juicy and delicious! Flavorful and diverse anyway you look at it! I'm so darned proud of you! Great job sweet baby boy! MMOBRIEN -
Mike's 10 Minute Rare T-Bone Steak & Baked Potato Dinner Mike's 10 Minute Rare T-Bone Steak & Baked Potato Dinner
Sure, she isn't much for presentation but, she's lip smacking delicious and 10 minutes quick! Even quicker than a McDonald's drive thru!Anyway, on a depressing note, my neighbors wife recently left him. Bottom line? Culinarily speaking? Without her, he couldn't open or even heat up a can of Raviolis if he were literally forced to folks. Bless his sweet little lonely heart!So, a long story short, Mario came over last night starving and desperately, yet sheepishly, seeking any hot, homemade dish. And - BOY - did he want that meal made with the quickness! [starving men are appreciative of literally anything homemade = ADORABLE! ♡]Well, being a culinary instructor, luckily I usually have most any ingredient at the ready and, this is the dish I quickly decided to serve him. Yup! There would only be 10 easy minutes in between a grown Mexican man starving - to a hot, creamy, homemade, buttery, savory, meaty, charred, tummy filling, rib stickin', carb packed, USA Southern comfort food dish in his mouth and tummy! [excuse my elongated sentence] 😆But, if you do find yourself with a few extra minutes, carmelize some sweet Viadailla onions in salted butter, a dash of black pepper and olive oil. Then, add some fat, juicy button mushrooms and a splash of white wine to top your steaks with. They're always an appreciated addition! Another great addition is chilled bacon grease smeared thick on your pre-baked potatoes as opposed to garlic olive oil as listed below.Also, MMOBRIEN -
