Some tasty weekend eats

[Darryl - swazies]

Did some smaller cooks on the weekend, but they were as tasty as ever, so tasty I am doing the taco’s again this Saturday.
Saturday I used a black angus strip, cut the fat back a tiny bit and made some good old steak tacos. The steak wasn’t over a half inch thick so it cooked a little quick on me but still managed to get some pink in there. Made a chimichurri for the first time ever after watching everyone else make here. Used crosta carne on the steak and with everything else it turned out perfect. I recommend costa carne and cook it right and use the chimichurri......great combo. We eat tacos a lot, yes we have taco stands. These were more simple than most of the tacos I put together but yet it might have been the best ones so far.

Sunday I decided to make a sirloin cap roast or a picahna cut of beef in roast style. The bbq was pretty hot so I cooked while the temp dropped. That seemed weird but it could of had more flavour for sure. It still turned out great, got to try the chimichurri the next day, the garlic really moved up front after sitting a day. The MRS made some yorkies and mashed potatoes and I did the gravy too.....pics are my plate, it was too much for a Sunday lol. We enjoyed the heck out of it and I did again Monday for lunch at work.

That's a lot of excellent food you whipped-up!

I usually cook up chicken pieces on Sunday or Monday so we can have fairly healthy lunches while at work. Either roasted or bbq style, this week was roasted in the oven. Usually some lean protein and some veg. I am still on the taco train so for dinner I whipped up some thin sliced chicken breast and some veg with jalapeños for some more tacos for dinner. These also so simple but packed with flavour. Added some killer hogs hot bbq to the chicken and fried a few shells and diner was quick easy and also darn good.....

Man Darryl, you are killing it! That Sunday night dinner is just WOW. Tacos at least once a week in my house. My 13 year old son eats so much on taco night that I am less worried when he hardly eats for the three nights that follow .

Those are some outstanding cooks Darryl. Those tacos look delicious and a repeat for this Sunday might be in the cards???? The Picahna is just amazing. Your plate got me prepped for dinner.

Well in a Saturday to Saturday run it's going to be taco's 3 times at my place this week anyways.....we started doing taco's a lot and turned to Amazon to get these stainless taco stands. There are a lot of bad ones on there but we got some good ones, I could let you know if you head that direction ever. Spicy shrimp and mango taco's is another good one, I will have to post it, it has homemade bean salsa and homemade pickled onions on it too.

Hey thanks, that Picahna is my go to Roast now anymore. It's a bit pricey compared to some of the roasts you can just put in a slow cooker and it falls apart, but this cuts like a steak and you can cook it as desired. As you can see I am good for around 130. Yeah this Saturday is a black angus rib eye steak, it's not huge about 10 to 12 oz. so not thick which makes it good for the taco. The flavour that these angus steaks have it outrageous.

Thanks for looking everyone, lets us all have great cooks for super bowl. I caved to that queso thread, I wasn't going to give in to the goodness. Not doing a lot for the big ball game on Sunday but do to tradition I will be making a fiesta of goodies for Daytona 500 on the following Sunday. It does help we have a stat holiday here in Canada on the Monday following the race. Hopefully something good. A combination of 2 or 3 tasty treats like queso, nachos, wings or homemade pizza!!!!
