Some of my recent attempts in the kitchen

you definitely blew my braised beef tacos out of the water

Looks good potnah! All looks scratch made as well / if so serious props. Plating is superb as well.

Be still my heart!

while the first dish looks delicious, and is "shrimp" and "grits" by definition, I'd hardly consider it "shrimp and grits"... when I want shrimp and grits I want a big bowl of creamy grits topped with shrimp and gravy.

now the Filet just looks amazing to me.

CAN YOU PROVIDE YOUR RECIPE FOR THE OSCAR DISH?

Thanks for the compliments

All except the canned bernaise sauce. I kid...

That was kind of the point, and why I noted that it was my take on the combo. I was trying something different from the standard variant, and the grit cake, slaw, and beer gastrique really worked well together.

RECIPE FOR THE OSCAR DISH

---

Essentially it's just trimmed beef tenderlion, salted, peppered and pan-fried to med-rare in a little olive oil and butter. Then the caramelized shallots were done in the pan afterwards, deglazed with some cognac and chicken stock, then reduced. Basic crab cake recipe using panko. Broiled asparagus seasoned with salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon zest, then topped it all with a bernaise.
