Cooking La Vache

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks
So it seems that cooking le vache may be a challenge. 

We took out two ribeyes, first two from the lot. 2 days frozen in the fridge, then a day out to thaw in the sink. @jonetkins cooked them, but while his was nice and tender, mine was a bit dry and tough.

We're wondering if it was simply overcooked - though he says that the two steaks had different textures even before cooked. I suspect it was where they were from on the carcass - his was ribeye towards the back while mine may have been from towards the shoulder. 

They certainly looked cut differently - which suggests that we also have to check cuts better when getting them from the freezer.

Salad was good - Farmhouse Delivery organic greens, their apples minced, walnuts + cranberries and a bit of crumbled Maytag blue cheese. Oka's dressing on top. 

This weekend's challenge - a soup with beef cubes and vegetables!
