We will use up pork and kraut leftovers for the game. Cooked like a normal gathering but only two eating it lol. For Christmas I usually do a prime rib dinner for about 12 people. This year just my wife and I so scaled it down. Salad is butter lettuce , red onion, tomato bacon, capers and a homemade Danish bleu cheese dressing. Cast iron filet mignon on a bed of white truffle and Gruyere cauliflower mash drizzled with a morel cream sauce. Last up a keto version of sticky pudding with toffee sauce and candied pecans. This is a do again meal for sure.

This is indeed a great meal by itself.  My wife got me into Gruyere cheese and other go along cheeses and dressings.

I used to NEVER even try vinaigrette dressings it wasn't for me all cream of whatever now I'm into red wine vinaigrette and other delicious lighter dressings.  That and cheese trays with various meats like sausages with various good crackers are a good late night snack.

Oh yes the never ending world of food and snacks to try many for GAMEDAY !  A few coming up soon.

Bon appetit !

You know I like Philly Steaks and steak sandwiches in general,  here's a GAMEDAY or any day variation......the zucchini are starting to roll in now.

Cheesesteak Zucchini Boats

YIELDS:8 SERVINGS     PREP TIME:0 HOURS 5 MINS      TOTAL TIME:0 HOURS 30 MINS

INGREDIENTS

 

4 zucchini, halved lengthwise

1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 large onion, chopped

2 bell peppers, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 lb. sirloin steak, thinly sliced  <----  OPTION: Can use your favorite steak here if desired.

1 tsp. dried oregano

2 c. shredded provolone

2 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

 

DIRECTIONS

 

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Score zucchini (like you’re dicing an avocado) and scoop out insides into a large bowl to use later. Transfer zucchini boats to a large baking dish. Brush with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until just tender, about 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion, peppers, and scooped out zucchini then season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. 
3. Increase heat to medium-high and add remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and season with oregano, salt and pepper. Cook until seared all over, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat. 
4. Fill zucchini boats with cooked vegetables and steak, then top with provolone. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley.

 

I went back here to get some good GAMEDAY recipes or new ideas and found this one from 2018.  Good enough for the  pittsburgh at Cleveland BROWNS Week 17 game ?

Ok syd (and the rest of you) I  was thinking side dish but also had something like this in mind a bratwurst and sauerkraut dish, great for a BROWNS or BUCKEYES GAME !   (If you want another side dish let me know.  We've made this dish with brats, sausage even kielbasa with slight tweeks.)

A good old favorite dish BRATWURST STEWED WITH SAUERKRAUT easy to make and delicious. Great for a GAMEDAY or a hearty meal. This version is from the Food Network..... with my notes.

 

https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/michael-symon/bratwurst-stewed-with-sauerkraut-recipe-2013635

 

Level: Easy. Total time:. 1 hr  15 minutes. Prep time: 10 minutes  Cook time  1 hr 5 minutes. Yield:. 8 to 10  servings

Wisconsin may be the cheese state, but bratwurst (ground meat sausages that are grilled, or in this case, pan-fried) are the state's culinary claim to fame. Due largely to residents' German ancestry, brats are a common site at butcher shops, restaurants and even baseball stadiums. (Madison, Wisconsin is home to an annual "Brat Fest") Michael Symon's simple recipe calls for the links to be cooked with onions, garlic and tangy sauerkraut and then served on a baguette.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil

2 pounds fresh bratwurst links

2 onions, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 cups chicken stock

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon caraway seed......for us caraway seeds are optional

4 cups sauerkraut, drained

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1 baguette. or other sub type buns, Italian or French are nice

DIRECTIONS........easy, huh ?

1. In a large pan, heat oil over high heat. Brown bratwurst in oil and reduce heat to medium. Add onions and garlic and cook until lightly caramelized.
2.  Add stock, paprika, caraway seeds, and sauerkraut and simmer for 45 minutes. 
3.  Remove from heat and stir in fresh dill. Serve on baguette or other large buns.

4. Reduce heat to low and add whole kielbasa and simmer, covered, 10 minutes or until heated through.
    

Notes... with some options for you to try and bon appetit !

• Serve this cut into chunks with spicy coarse-ground mustard and enjoy.  We are also occasionally add onions to our sauerkraut

• Cut into bun length pieces on a sausage bun cover with sauerkraut and add mustard of your choice.  I like a splash of Tabasco sauce on top.

My wife makes Kielbasa with saurkraut.  But it is the fresh kielbasa, not the cured one.  Tastes much better IMO.

That is one nice thing about these types of recipes you can tweak the style of meat, types of sauerkraut and carefully adjust the spices to your liking.

Somewhat like tweaking chili, stews or casseroles to your liking.

Attended a Kiwanis meeting Tuesday (via Zoom).  The program was a guy from Certified Angus Beef.   What do you think of that product?    They are headquartered in Wooster.

And by the way.....he described his  business as akin to like   Uber.....a huge transportation company that does not own a single  vehicle....or  Air B&B...a huge accommodations company that does not own a single unit to stay in.    Certified Angus Beef does not own a single head of cattle or sell a single pound of beef.  They are simply a certification organization.  They do, however, have a Culinary school however which trains people in proper preparation methods of Certified Angus Beef.

You are correct on what you have said. Every state has their own beef council or association plus others like the certified angus beef here, there a some big ones around texas and ALL have rating systems and of course recipes !  

I've been busy here lately but can answer any other things you might have later this weekend. My favorite ?  I like this one:

Actually I believe the Certified Angus Beef Organization is  Nationwide, even world wide. 

Maybe there are other certifying bodies, but they would not be Certified Angus Beef.  

The thing you posted here seems similar. Not sure how they really differ.

 Paella is a Spanish rice dish that is characterized by its use of saffron to give its yellow color and unique flavor. While the most common version of the dish is covered in shrimp and mussels, traditional paella is made with chicken, rabbit, rice, and vegetables. Paella is one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine. For this reason, many non-Spaniards view it as Spain's national dish, but most Spaniards consider it to be a dish from the Valencian region. Paella takes its name from the wide, shallow traditional pan used to cook the dish on an open fire. Paella means "frying pan" in Valencia's regional language.

Pork Butts...

I braise them using a Mexican Pork recipe I found a long time ago in an issue of Cuisine at home. Never fails...

The pork dry rub mix is there plus recipes for sides including black beans, salsa verde and Chipotle-Adobo sweet potatoes that are absolutely killer.

Only thing I don't follow is the banana leaf thing... any good cast-iron dutch oven with a heavy lid will do...

I'm just a beef connoisseur.  "Certified Angus Beef" sounds nice, but doesn't mean much. angus beef- because the way the cattle are raised may make it easier to get a higher  grade- but US Choice or Prime is what matters. Then you get into a whole 'nother realm of 95% grocery stuff doesn't even rate- dry aged as opposed to wet aged that's top shelf restaurant grade.
