Frisco-Bird Nest Beef !!!

hey I always wanted a man that could cook, your meals look great.  I hope you make a website of all of these so I can look back someday if I can ever get this surgery done.

You are my hero!!!

OH ya.....what is marinate?

 
I think you could use anything from salt and pepper on up.....

For this one I just used Kikkoman Ponzu sauce for a couple of hours.

Ponzu is a soy sauce citrus mixture....with a little bit of sugar....what ends up in the meat is a trace amount but it helps caramelize the meat when seared.

You are a great cook if it tastes as pretty as it looks!

I've tried the sketti squash before and I couldn't really get a good flavor with it. I'm Italian so pasta with just some red sauce is super boring to me. I think I will try the onion soup flavor tho. Was there a great flavor addition?

I'm more of an artist that cook....but I'm learning cooking is an art.....

OK...the squash.... at first I went down the Italian road..... quick saute in garlic infused olive oil...tryin for an Oglio Olio type faux pasta......didn't work.....got soggy fast! Even tried a deep fry.....won't really work without a dredge and than it kinda defeats the purpose of eating a veggie.

So I tried a blanch in water.....worked kinda good....but was bland....

Than I figured by the squash getting soggy from the oil..... that it was absorbing....so I thought...hmmm flavored water.....tried the Onion Soup.....mixed it a tad on the strong side....cause the blanch is less than a minute....was pretty good....than I added the red pepper flakes....

I will have to try that I was thinking if you dried it out as much A's possible it might absorb some good flavors.

Wow Frisco, you sure know the way to a VSG girl's heart.  Too bad I'm already spoken for or I would have to fight the other girls for your attention.  That looks amazing, do you entertain much?  Yes, I am trying to finagle my way into an invitation. Seriously, that looks too good to eat.  I think I would have to stare at it for a while and meditate on the possible future deliciousness.

If I ever make it back out to where you guys all live I'm def going to be rude and ask for an invite! Plus, I'd just like to meet you all in person!

Jo,
If you ever make it out this way, just let me know and we will set something up.
