Grilled Skirt Steak with Savory Mashed Potatoes
What you need 2lbs skirt steak 4 good sized potatoes. Make it 6 if you use reds. 1 cup chicken stock 6 cloves of garlic 1/2 yellow onion 6 pieces of bacon 1/2 cup olive oil 1/4 cup teriaki sauce a dash or two of hot sauce steak seasoning sour cream
What to do -Marinade Mix olive oil, teraki and hot sauce, steak seasoning and 3 cloves of garlic together. Coat the skirt steak and stick it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
-Potatoes Dice potatoes into 1″ pieces and add to lots of salted boiling water. Add 3 cloves of garlic to the water. Cook until potatoes are just tender (stick a fork in a piece…should go in nice and easy like). Drain potatoes. Dice bacon and cook in the same pot the potatoes were in. When crispt, add the onion, cut into 1″ pieces and sweat until onions are nice and soft. Add back the potatoes and garlic. Start adding chicken stock and mash (by hand) until you get the consistency you want. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-Grill On a hot grill, cook the marinaded skirt steak 3 minutes per side. Don’t mess with it! Once it’s cooked, slick against the grain. You can go fancy and cut on the bias if you like too.
-Serve Mashed potatoes with a dollop of sour cream and the sliced steak. Glazed carrots go nicely with this as well (carrots, butter, brown sugar, chicken stock, fresh chopped parsley).
Ok, the back-up all purchases feature is pretty sweet. I have to go through and see if it got ALL of mine, but since it filled up 1 1/14 DVD’s, I think it’s pretty close.
Man, that’s a lot of iTunes purchases. Close to 6gb of AAC files? I really should slow down a bit.
| You Are an Excellent Cook |
 It’s likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire… |
Personally, I never had a doubt.
Been a while since I did one of these. Think I’m overdue.
- Soccer moms in monster SUV’s talking on their cell phones. At least this one gets fixed by the end of the year.
- Work The facet I shall dwell on today is the temperature in the office. I can no longer feel my nose and I can see my breath. Yes, it’s pretty f’ing cold. I’m having to use my laptop more because the heat from the Dell battery that could explode any minute is the only thing keeping me frostbite free.
- iTunes 7.0 Ok, it’s only been a couple of days, but really, what happened? iTunes used to be a svelt 12mb download. Once install, while quirky, performed pretty ok. Now, it’s up to a 34mb download and is. slower. than. molasses. in. january. It’s so slow, my double clicks are turning into quadruple clicks. /me thinks it’s time to start burning and ripping again.
- Work More from the ‘do work 3 times because we keep changing our minds 3 years later’ book. Ugh.
- Christmas. In September Attention retailers. The holiday known as Christmas is in the month of December. Effective immediately you are no longer allowed to display holiday-related wares before October 31st. Thank you.
- Flakes Just lately. Over on the other side.. No, nothing posted, but there is at least 1 of you that knows. If I could throat punch 1 person…
That’s all for now. I need to go outside and thaw a bit.
If you’ve got one of those Flashy new AJAX, WPF sites and don’t provide an accessible text-based alternative, you can be sued under the Americans With Disabilities Act. Target Corp has already been succesfully sued for failing to make its website accessible to the blind.
I actually heard about this on the news the other day and thought it was a joke.
The judge issued his decision after Target motioned to dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed Feb. 7 that claimed that the corporation’s Web site was inaccessible to blind customers. The suit claimed that the Web site violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, the California Unruh Civil Rights Act and the California Disabled Persons Act.
Maybe this will get more developers to use CSS and follow w3c standards like they should. I’m not saying that you should try to put a reader through any of my sites, but I think that they would do ok.
If you are curious, take a look at the source for target.com. a whole bunch of javascript that I’m pretty sure causes those screen readers fits.
