Cooked up a feast for Abby’s birthday last week, kinda my take on a surf and turf
Started off with some scallop crudo (olive oil, flakey salt, chopped castelvetranos, and some lemon zest), an assortment of freshly shucked oysters with homemade mignonette, and a couple of caviars with all the fixings (see cast below for deets)
For the main course I did a ribeye (left) and a NY strip (right), both dry-aged and reverse seared to medium rare. They were each a little over a pound and ran around $35 at Whole Foods. I probably could’ve cooked the strip a bit less but I had a lot going on in the kitchen and it was still plenty juicy.
I paired the steaks with some creamed spinach (one of my favorites, my secret is adding in a bunch of bleu cheese for a deeper flavor), sautéed mushrooms and onions (classic), and some roasted bone marrow (much cheaper and easier to make than restaurants would lead you to believe!)
Ended the meal with a Caffe Panna sundae bar including Cookies & Panna (Abby’s favorite) and a couple of their specials: key lime pie and funfetti monkey bread. Specials were good but we both think the classic Cookies & Panna still reins supreme. It was a sweet ending to a yummy feast! 18 replies
