Easier Valentines Day Carpetbagger Steak

Easier Valentines Day Carpetbagger Steak

One of the sexiest meals that can be shared has to be that of a large cut of filet mignon stuffed with raw oysters and pan seared to the desired temperature. Though the name carpetbagger is not nearly as attractive as the dish itself I think your valentine will enjoy it.

There is a lot of thought that has to go into this dish what with creating a pocket in your meat for the delicious briny oysters as well as tyeing the steak up and cooking it without spilling the bi valves out.

I figured I would create a simpler and even cheaper way to enjoy this delicacy. It starts with delicious panko and herb crusted oysters that are sandwiched between medallions of beef filet that have been basted with beer and Worcestershire sauce.

Shootin’ The Boot – Super Bowl Sunday

This season seemed to be one of destiny or the Indianapolis Colts. Seven times before Sunday they appeared set to take a hard loss on the nose only to see victory snatched out of the claws of defeat with late game heroics by the future Hall of Famer, Peyton Manning. Eighth time would not be the charm for the Colts as they fell to the Saints 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV.

Despite its connection to the McCormick and Schmicks seafood restaurant chain, the M & S Grill in downtown DC deserves to be assessed by its own merits as a bar, and, more importantly, as an after-work meeting spot.

Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gravy

This is a great way to celebrate Fat Tuesday for breakfast, lunch or dinner. A spicy shrimp and andouille gravy that definitely deserves a nice cold beer as well as warm flaky biscuits. Abita is a brewery out of Louisiana and they make a great seasonal brew call Abita Bock.
