Made some Mexican - chicken crunch wraps on the griddle! Love this thing.
Grilled chicken breast, cheese, tortilla chips, sour cream lettuce, tomato, and spicy tamatillo sauce. Delish.

Now we wait a couple weeks for the flavors to blend before we enjoy the yummyness!

And in keeping with the these on this thread - last night's din-din was BarBeed Yelloweye Snapper, Basmati Rice, Garlic scapes with walking onions, all topped with my Lady's home-made Hollandaise Sauce:

Recently purchased a sous vide machine and still trying new things so decided to try and turn something cheap and tough into beef dip. Picked up a tray of tied up chuck roasts from Costco for 27 dollars and yesterday dropped it into a 136 F bath for 24 hours. Picked up some potato rolls from Tall Shadow after work and got to work when I got home. Started the au jus by caramelizing some shallots and deglazed with 4 cups of water. Dropped 2 Knorr rich beef stock pots and put on simmer. Pulled the beef, pat dried and torched the beef. Poured the drippings into the au jus. Then sliced the beef. Nice surprise is the meat is perfectly rested out of sous vide so no bloody run off. Wish I could justify the $1500 for a proper deli slicer to shave it. Strained the au jus of the shallots and beef impuri with a Japanese fat strainer and plated it up. Beef came out very tender like properly cooked prime rib but larger grains. Wife who is a self proclaimed prime rib and beef dip expert was really amazed at how nice it came out. Great way to feed a crowd simple real food without breaking the bank. I’m sure 98% percent of general diners would believe it was prime rib if told so. IMG_0208.jpegIMG_0209.jpegIMG_0210.jpeg
 
I have had a sous vide device for a couple of years now, and I love it. Hundreds of videos if not more available for tips and tricks but if you’re into perfection doneness, you can’t beat it.
