Ok, so I have gathered that three of the areas you all specialize in are beer, food, and, wellll... we just won't go *there*!
Anyway, I am trying to come up with some great ideas for some nice meals for my husband. (No particular reason, other than he is *awesome*, and I want him to know how much I appreciate all that he does for us.) Tonight I am making sticky barbecued beef ribs. (He is definitely a meat and potatoes kind of guy!) So, I got to thinking, and realized that with as much diversity and creativity as there is on this forum, I'll bet you guys have some great ideas! What are your favorite meals? Any special recipes you find particularly savory? Remember, it has to be *actual* food...beer doesn't count! |

How about beer as an ingredient?

Filet Mignon in a burgundy sauce which has heavy cream and cognac in it. You partially cook the filet on the grill and then finish it in the sauce in a pan. It tastes great.

Beer Butt Chicken FTW.
You also could try Alcimedes' Urguayian dish, which I really liked myself... Search the forum for my thread about BBQ season for the recipes.. I'm too lazy and need a beer. |

My favorite steak to make is this marinade I put together that is 2 cups of pineapple juice, 3/4 cup of soy sauce, some garlic, ginger and brown sugar. Marinade a couple of steaks in that for about 24 hours and then grill them with a slice of pineapple on top.

I recently made a marinade out of habanero peppers, habanero sauce, lemon, green onion and garlic. I put it on some chicken breasts. It was delicious.

Tacos.
Line the insides with a little refried beans if you really love him. (I'm not drunk enough to mention the pink taco and sausage recipe that you bring out later that night) |

Steaks should be appreciated for the taste of the meat, not the savory sauce you drown it in to make up for its utter lack of it. I only enjoy filet as part of a porterhouse or used in unique dishes like carpaccio. |

Pot roast. Seriously. It's meat and potatoes in its most literal incarnation. And it rocks. Put carrots and onions in there too. And cook it for something like 4 or five hours in the oven; it doesn't really matter just how long. The meat just falls apart and is delicious. And then make a good brown gravy. Make plenty of everything... the leftovers are the best part.
Screw that filet-mignon/burgandy whatever crap. Meat! Potatoes! (Beer!) |

I'm quite fond of a beef vindaloo. Get the most gristly cheap cut you can find, and let it simmer for a couple of hours to soften up. Oh — and make the paste yourself — store-bought vindaloo pastes are universally awful. Beer is a required adjunct to this meal, because, as Dave Lister once said, "…lager [is] the only thing that can kill a good vindaloo".

Just tossed it together as I went along, I'm not much of a cook. I marinaded the chicken breasts for about 2 or 3 hours, then broiled them. In retrospect, It would have been better if I'd baked them at a lower temperature for a longer time. Once on the plates we drizzled the remainder of the sauces onto each piece.

Marinated Steak, with diced red potatoes with butter and garlic salt all over them. Maybe a veg in there too if he's one of those types
My favorite meal might be chicken casserole though. I know casseroles aren't really a manly meal, but mmmmmmmmm, chicken, cream of mushroom soup, melted swiss on top with browned croutons on mashed potatoes or rice—wow. |

Gumbo with some thick-cut summer sausage, lots of types of beans, and whatever else you want slow simmered in a deep pan. Serve in a bowl with white rice and you have a great cold-weather meal!

Does he like seafood/Italian? I always dig some sort of shrimp/garlic/pasta concoction. You can't go wrong with those three things together.
Garlic makes everything taste better. It should be a law that it goes into everything. |

Wow...this is great. Thanks, guys! There are some really fantastic recommendations here...can't wait to get started! I am planning on making a calendar menu and trying at least one of your ideas/recipes each day for the month. There are plenty of open days left to fill...keep the candidates coming!

The fat is bad for you. Plus, I waste all the steak cutting off all the fat. Filet Mignon is the only way to go for me. Plus, get it from Costco, it is even better. They have the best meat there except for veal. I like the steak without the bone or fat to add flavor. I like pure meat. And sometimes I like it in a sauce to give it a punch. Sorry you don't like it. giggity |
