It is at least part of two deer. hihi... I don't know about prices. One our clients likes to go hunting and usually gives us some each year. I've been trying to find a good technique like I used last time, but haven't found a good one.
Monsters, they eat
Your kind of meat
And they're moving as far as they can

Tonight I had a package of two thick cut New York strips. The two steaks together weighed more than three pounds. Since there is now three of us again though, I was debating how to prepare them.
My method for cooking them was the same as I always do: rub with extra light olive oil, season with Montreal steak seasoning, and pan saute them on high heat in my cast iron skillet to make Pittsburgh rare/black and blue. Then put the pieces for the guys in a warm oven to sit, so the interior cooks a little more than I like.
However, I was uncertain if I should slice the two steaks in to three pieces each before sauteeing, or if I should cook both steaks whole, and then portion them. I went ahead and cooked them whole, and then divided them. Actually put my serving in a slightly warmed oven while I returned the guys portions back to the pan.
Steamed some broccoli to go with and and called it good.
hyperception and I had small servings of Clemmy's Sugar Free Ice Cream, coffee flavor, for dessert. I topped mine with Smuckers Sugar Free Hot Fudge and Land O'Lakes Sugar Free Heavy Whipping Cream. I'll see how my numbers are affected by it over the next few days...

Tonight's dinner is pork souvlaki served with home made tzatziki in low carb tortillas with field greens and chopped onion. Attempting to make cauliflower "mac" and cheese casserole on the side.
We recently bought and are trying the tam-x-icos brand of low-carb tortillas. They are sold in the refrigerated dairy case and are very good.

My family's having a gigantic 8-egg omelet... with loads of fried onions and bell peppers. My husband claims the whole thing cost about a dollar to make.
Plus asparagus, steamed..

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

I used these recipes from Serious Eats. Came out really awesome. I tend to trust most recipes I try from there.Linna Heartlistener wrote:mmmm, those both sound yummy... esp. the souvlaki with homemade tzatziki...Menolly wrote:Tonight's dinner is pork souvlaki served with home made tzatziki in low carb tortillas with field greens and chopped onion.

I do prefer lamb to pork for souvlaki, but at $1.69/lb for boston butt vs. at least $4.69/lb for lamb, I'll use pork.
The only changes I recall that I made to the recipes were skewering the pork cubes on to sprigs of rosemary before marinating, and I did add dried dill weed to the tzatziki.

Tonight we're considering a new-to-us place called Maui Teriyaki. They've been around a long time, but I don't usually care for counter service places.
However, they have an option on the menu called the Power Bowl, which seems to fit the low carb WOE. So, I think we'll give it a try.

It's Ostara, so tonight I cooked a ham slice on top of the stove in some water. Into the drippings went some orange marmalade (made with champagne), a little cinnamon and a couple of shakes of ground cloves. Reduced it some, then mixed in some cornstarch. Made a nice little gravy-like thing to go with the ham. I'm not typically a fan of gravy, but this was pretty good. (Magickmaker skipped the ham, but she put some of the sauce on her chicken breast. It smelled too good to pass up, even though it had ham "juice" in it -- the horror, the horror! 
)
Some steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes rounded out the meal. And we had raspberries and blackberries topped with Cool Whip for dessert.
