Number Of Ingredients 4

5 lobster tails
1 cup white wine (I used Chardonnay)
3 garlic cloves (Chopped)
1 1/2 cups butter (I use Salted)

Steps:

  • First you will need a sauce pan that has a steamer basket. If your lobster tails are frozen thaw them out. Cut the top of the lobster tail enough to allow expansion of the meat. In the sauce pan - on a medium low heat mix together the garlic, butter and white wine stirring occasionally. Once the butter wine mix comes to a boil, place the steam basket and cover. Let the Lobster tails steam for 8 minutes. They will turn bright red. Set aside. Using a strainer, pour the butter wine mixture into serving cups. Use the butter wine mixture to dip the lobster tails inches I hope you enjoy it!

Categories     Meat

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 thick-cut New York strip steaks
3 heads garlic (an extra bulb for the mashers)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
3 cups fresh spinach
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, diced
1 lb fresh brie cheese
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, minced

Steps:

  • Marinate the steaks overnight in olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.
  • You can utilize any fresh herbs you have in your garden or local market such as rosemary.
  • Take the steaks out and let them rest about an hour before you start to work with them.
  • In the meantime, fire up the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Take your garlic bulbs and slice them in half diagonally.
  • Season with olive oil and sea salt.
  • Roast on a pan in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the garlic is nice and golden brown and your house smells heavenly.
  • Take out and set aside.
  • Heat your saute pan with some olive oil and throw in about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic when hot.
  • Add spinach and saute until spinach is just wilted.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Chop up the sun-dried tomatoes and toss with the spinach.
  • When the spinach has cooled, throw in the brie and the roasted garlic.
  • You can easily pull the roasted garlic from the'husk' by using a toothpick to pull it out.
  • Mix together very well!
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • You can also throw in a teaspoon or so of fresh rosemary at this point.
  • Set aside.
  • Take your steaks and cut a slit into the side of them, just as you would with stuffing pork chops.
  • Carefully stuff the steaks with your roasted garlic stuffing.
  • Throw those guys on the BBQ for about 3-4 minutes per side pending your guests preference.
  • I serve these steaks over garlic mashers which I usually just throw in an extra bulb of garlic to roast when making the stuffing and mash it all up with some fresh potatoes, butter and cream.
  • A little parsley to garnish.
  • For the sauce, take 4 tablespoons of butter and melt in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Add about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic, 1/4 cup of cream and 4 tablespoons of good quality balsamic vinegar.
  • Throw in a sprig of fresh rosemary and reduce the sauce by about 1/3.
  • Take out the rosemary.
  • To plate, place lean against a heap of the garlic mashers and drizzle the sauce around the plate and over the potatoes.
  • Garnish with fresh rosemary.
  • It is excellent to have a nice fresh loaf of bread to serve with this.
  • I also BBQ up some fresh local corn on the grill to accompany this meal.
  • It is a fairly easy and gourmet meal to prepare.
  • You can even make the stuffing the night before.
  • Enjoy!
  • And long live garlic!

EASY NOODLES IN GARLIC-GINGER PEANUT SAUCE



Easy Noodles in Garlic-Ginger Peanut Sauce image

From Easy Asian Noodles by Helen Chen, this recipe is a GREAT cool noodle dish for a hot summer day! Very versatile, I've even made it with dollar store ramen when the budget's tight - just boil the noodles (2 packs) with the flavor packets in the boiling water and drain, then cool the noodles thoroughly in ice water as the recipe suggests. Chen says, "This is a bold peanut vinaigrette that's bursting with garlic and ginger flavor. It's excellent on either Asian noodles or Italian pasta and is a perfect side dish to almost any grilled fish or meat. If using Italian noodles, I prefer the thinner vermicelli." Meant as a side dish, we enjoy it as a dinner also - toss in some shredded cabbage and carrots and it really is a great summer evening meal!
