SMCD (Screw My Cardiologist Dinner)

[Winz]

Lets see - the Mrs is working late, I don't have a physical scheduled for a while - time to have some SMCD (screw my cardiologist dinner) fun!

The prerequisite - a glass of Clase Azul Reposado with 1 ice cube please (it would be a shame to dilute such fine liquor):



This boneless ribeye needs some flame!  Salted, Peppered, and left to warm to room temp:



A little aoli to cover the potatoes.  Mayo, lime juice, fresh garlic, sririacha, paprika, salt, pepper:



New potatoes par cooked, sliced, and finished in bacon fat for a little crunch and flavor:



Bisbee gets the call for the steak.  Royal oak, 2 zone fire.  Plan is to sear and then finish in the cast iron skillet:



After a good seared crust is formed, I sliced the steak against the grain, put in the skillet, and topped with lots of butter.  The browned butter will come in handy later in the cook:



Finished steak topped with blue cheese and basted in browned butter from the CI skillet:



The payoff - steak with browned butter and blue cheese, potatoes fried in bacon fat and dressed with spicy mayo aoli, salad with jalapeño ranch dressing (thanks buckie), and a nice red to wash it down:



Oh yeah - homemade key lime pie to finish it off:



Headed to the couch to relax - this cholesterol overload is very taxing....

That looks like a healthy diet for me.

You know if that is grass fed beef it's pretty healthy for you.  It would have as much or more Omega 3 than a piece of Salmon of the same size.   

Now to step away from the infomercial and say that looks mighty tasty!

       "this cholesterol overload is very taxing...."



Just as I've always maintained:
 "Got a cholesterol problem?
           Drive it out with bacon !!!"

I was thinkin' you had everything all balanced out there & the cardiologist approved 1/2 glass of red wine.......then came the key lime..........SPLAT !!!!

Grate Cookup, my man !!!!

Steak and blue cheese is a match made in heaven........
