Clams and Steak

Ok... it's a random Wednesday night... nothing to do.. but COOK!  T and I had a long week (and we were only halfway through) but J&J planned a fabulous meal for us... all without recipes and homemade.. so you can totally do this at home!

Appetizer - Clams Whatever


We are not sure of the name of this - maybe clams casino?  Regardless - you throw some full uncooked clams on the grill.  They will start to open in about 5 minutes.. toss the top shell.  Then add some BBQ sauce and a few pieces of already cooked bacon and let steep for a minute.  Serve.  Delicious.  Amazing!  Perfect party meal right here!


Entree - NY Strip with Gorgonzola Sauce


There are a few things to discuss here.  First - steak.  Cook on grill to your desired done-ness.  Secondly - sauce.  This will take approx. 30 minutes.  Heat up some heavy cream, add a solid handful of blue cheese/Gorgonzola and let cook until thick and creamy.  Lovely topping (think Bearnaise on crack,)  Lastly, let's talk hash.  Chopped onions, bacon, garlic, shaved Brussels and kale, and Japanese sweet potato (see other blog for details) and you have an amazing hash that can go with any meal or even breakfast!

Dessert - Chocolate Souffle


Google any chocolate souffle and you are good to go!
