Steaks, Wine & Cigars

I think I'm a mediocre chef myself. Last weekend I was making dinner with my friends, steaks, vegeteables, garlic potatoes and bearnaise sauce. With good wine and beer. After the fulfilling meal, we smoked some good, smooth cigars that my friend had brought.

I thought of posting about the whole process on HF since I took various pictures, but I'm not sure if you'd want to see it, so here's a small compilation.

- My other friend picked the wine, a good, rich wine perfect for a meal like this: Roca de les Dotze Noray 2010

- Steaks on the pan, with butter, olive oil, garlic and rosemary.

- Outcome, about 2 minutes each side on the pan. After that in foil for a few minutes.

- Plate, with spinach and parmesan grated brussel sprouts, garlic potatoes, bearnaise sauce.

- A picture of my friends steak, just perfect.

- My friends and I are passionate cigar smokers. He brought in some cigars. Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta Toro (6" * 52)


How do you like your steak?
I'll take a medium rare prime rib with a Gurkha Grand Reserve Robusto please and thanks.

On the way. Sounds delicious mate.
Never had Reserve Robusto myself.
Brussel sprouts, this instantly gets my vote of approval, the tatties and sauce look nice, I prefer my steak a little browner in the middle heh.
The wine should be white with some ICE#

Yes, brussel sprouts.
Yeah, I like my steak a little more brown, like medium to medium+, depending on the steak. The one in the picture isn't mine.

I used to have meat-free weeks, mostly because of the girlfriend at the time. After we broke up I went to the best steak restaurant in town and ordered a phat rib-eye steak and a bottle of wine. Love that shit.

I still eat vegetarian food daily though, mostly because of my brother.
Bumping this, wondering if anyone wants to view this.

Currently making avocado pasta.
