    I should have crushed the garlic, instead of mincing it for the cheese mixture because it was a little bit garlic heavy on the palette.

    I did not know there WAS such a thing!!!???

    Yeah, not happening with wifey. Been trying for 25+ years. The beautiful filet mignons have to be well done (170+), also ... right before the A1 gets poured on them. 🙄😩🤬

    Either she's bat chit crazy or she's never had a great....never mind. Bless her heart....

    Dude, don't spend money for a Filet then cook it like that. Make her a ground beef "Steak" and shape it like a filet!
    About the only beef that gets cooked well done in my house is meatloaf, brisket, short ribs, chuck roast, shanks, or anything cut from the round.
    I hope you're not doing the same thing with a nice thick pork chop or loin! 140 max for me on those cuts.

    We went back to fish for dinner on Saturday night:

    Grilled Swordfish with Southern Sauteed Yellow Squash & Zucchini
    (with Spanish Rose from Costco)

    Swordfish:
    I had my first Swordfish in the mid 1970's in Boston. It was not a fish that was popular in the south at that time. In Atlanta during this time, there was only one good seafood restaruant which was Jim White's Half Shell in Peachtree-Battle shopping mall. It was next door to Jimmy Orr's Restaurant and Bar which was previously managed by Jim White. For you young folks, Jimmy Orr was Bulldog and played with the Baltimore Colts and was a favorite receiver of Johnny Unitas.

    On my first trip to Boston, one of the constant news stories was mecury in fish, in particular swordfish. The restaurant that I went to the first night was Anthony’s Pier 4. Swordfish was on the menu and it was great. I was blown away with the restaurant especially the pictures of all the famous people who had been there. I returned to this restaurant several times throughout the years. The restaurant closed in 2013.

    From a 2016 news story which told of the impending tear-down of the restaurant:
    The photos that lined the walls are gone now, of Kennedys and Johnny Carson, Celtics greats and Frank Sinatra, always posing with the Albanian immigrant who had his name on the door.

    Gone too, are the lobsters you’d pass over on that little bridge on your way into the dining room. And gone are the baskets of steaming popovers.

    The restaurant shot to prominence when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton ate there in 1964. Norman Jewison's The Thomas Crown Affair 1968 film was shot there for one of its dinner date scenes between Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway.

    The views are still there, still jaw-dropping, out across Boston Harbor toward downtown and the airport. But instead of being seen from a vast dining room visited by generations of Bostonians, they will soon be enjoyed from a one-acre park at the end of the pier and from the luxury condos in a new building behind it.

    Been hankering for a rib eye....Ayesha and I had 2.32lbs of prime beef between the two of us. Soaked in beer for two hours. Lots of butter on the steak over the grill brings on the flame to char. Sadly overdone, came out medium pink but the flavor....phenomenal. They weren't med rare but the flavor way made up for the doneness.

    ^^^ My experiences exactly with Rib Eyes. They are so forgiving if slightly overcooked, they retain their tenderness where other cuts may not. Of course any thin cut steak is more of a challenge. I really enjoy a good rib eye. My favorite for flavor is a 1.50"-1.75" Porterhouse or T-Bone over charcoal to med-rare.

    Looky here fellas!!!! All of you guys can throw down in scrumptious style. Your posts make me want to take your fixins and hug em, roll on the floor with em for awhile before wolfing em down!!

    That being said, I'm having knee surgery on Monday and will be out of commission for a couple of weeks. Now if you guys want to work in shifts, I'm cool with that. Just come on by, I'll have the fridge loaded with beer, some corn squeezins on the counter and you can help yourselves while I sample the goods y'all bring over.

    Geoff, if you were close enough, I'd gladly cook for ya. Hopes and prayers that you have a speedy recovery. (BTW, I whiffed and didn't take photos of the yummy Indian restaurant style Butter Chicken I made on Saturday, nor the last minute shrimp and veggie stir fry noodles that I made last night.) Sometimes, the kids and I are too much in a hurry to eat that the photo op is lost.

    People who like that leather are the same people who request steak sauce before they even taste the steak.

    Not my kind of people...

    Had this earlier. Not a true carbonara, but similar. Bacon (rendered down completely), chicken, onions, garlic sauteed in the bacon grease. At the end, in goes asiago, and a small amount of heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, and tossed with starchy linguine.

    Got a couple of prime filets, these bad boys were 3" thick. Rubbed in avocado oil, Texas T-Bone seasoning and coarse black pepper. A pat of butter with each turn, then a pat of butter on it while resting in foil. The green onion gave an incredible crunch with each steak bite.
