Recipe Idea: Will It Work?

[Im Neero]

I was driving back from Savannah today, and had an idea that might be just crazy enough to work. You would start by taking a steak and chopping it up into small pieces, I don't know how small yet, I'll have to experiment. You then marinade in high proof alcohol (I'm thinking Wild Turkey 101) for 24 hours, and then set them on fire. This is where it gets iffy. In theory, the little steak nuggets should be cooked from the flames. If it works, this could revolutionize meat preperation as we know it: tailgating would never be the same.

So whatya think, will it work?

[Mike.357]

no, the alcohol if it would even burn after soaking the steak would not burn hot enough or last long enough to cook the steak.

A much simpler way would be to soak the steak in Coca Cola and let it cook as it marinates.

Dont waste good Wild Turkey

Technically, it would sort of work. As long as you like steak tartar. The meat would still be very much raw, but with a lot of flavor from the liquor.

If you not only marinated the steak in whiskey, but drowned it in it while in a pan, and then lit the whiskey on fire, you'd theoretically have enough alcohol in the pan to keep the flames going long enough to get the meat up to a temp suitable to kill off any bacteria (those that survived 24 hours of being soaked in booze). But, that would take a lot of booze, and you'd be much better off just marinating the meat and grilling it, saving the whiskey for sipping with dinner. After dinner, use the remaining whiskey to marinate your liver while enjoying a fat cigar. You'll be much more pleased with the results, I promise.

Blasphemer! You should be so lucky as to eat some of the stuff I cook. For instance, last Tuesday, I roasted a pork tenderloin with a honey-chipotle marinade, then served it with a Peach-Mango-Raspberry-Chipotle Salsa and Mexican-style rice. The salsa had just the right amount of kick to let you know that you were alive, but it didn't slap you around until the end. The fruit in the salsa hid the heat very well.

Dang! That actually sounds pretty good, so what chick were you trying to impress???? did it work??

No chick, just dinner for myself. I did take the left-overs up to the bartender at Liquid Smoke, the cigar bar where I work part-time.

But, I did impress a young lady with my culinary skills this weekend. I made a light dinner for us for Friday, mostly meats, cheeses, and crackers, along with an antipasti (olives, tomatoes, peppers, marinated onions, feta cheese, and mushrooms).

I had also made my homemade bruschetta, which I make with Roma tomatoes, roasted red peppers, fresh basil, garlic, extra-virgin olive oil (from a friend's farmland in Italy, pressed on the village's 400-year old grindstone), cherry balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. I toast some Italian bread, which I brush with EVOO and dust with garlic powder, and then top it with the bruschetta and shaved romano cheese, before placing back into the oven for 1-2 minutes, to melt the cheese ever-so-slightly.

you ought to start a cooking / gun show or something......you could go out, show off the guns, shoot some nice game then cook it up. I'll take a production credit and 50% of any proceeds....or you could pay me in AR's

Yea, thanks for ruining my idea guys. Back to ramen/tuna for dinner.

Dude, when you make your ramen, add a bit of grilled chicken (like the type you buy precooked at Kroger) and some EZ-Cheeze (ya know, the type from the can). It takes Ramen to a whole new level.

Oleg has been known to embellish a bit when discussing certain things.

Whoa

Ha HA, Frank is an excellent cook. I remember Frank calling me and telling me about his mango salsa chicken, or was it pork? stuff. Sounds pretty good. I'll probably end up trying it out.

Just ask him, Frank has pointers for just about any occasion.

MMM sounds good. Any chance of getting the recipe?

[Guest recoveryman1]

ya im with robin idlike to have the tenderlion recipe ill even do some swappin with ya

[Guest CrazyLincoln]

See, what you need to do is take 3 belt-fed short barreled machine guns and line them up so you could lay a cast iron griddle across the top of the barrels. Fire them simultaneously, find out how many rounds it takes to generate enough heat to cook a marinated steak to medium rare. Then make a cooking show about it that you post on youtube. A copper, or copper core barrel probably wouldn't hurt either.
