Sirloin Shenanigans
Posted: Sat Jul 24, 2010 8:24 pm
OK gang, the meat has been cut and the cooking has begun!
First we started off with the big slab of dead cow proudly supplied by Sinitster Meat co. (not affiliated with Sinitster Ladyboy Meat co.)
Well we started with a 3.7kg sirloin from above mentioned meat co.
And of course it's easier done with a glass of Beam!
And here's the slab or awesome all washed up and ready for the missus to "slaughter".
I say the missus, 'cause it turns out she used to work in a butcher shop and is quite handy with a knife.
NOTE TO SELF: Don't piss off misses if knives are around!
While she started to work her magic I prepared my amazing marinade.
Yup I cheated again. And since it was on special for $1.69 why wouldn't ya cheat? I couldn't make a marinade for that price.
I put that into a bowl and mixed in 2 teaspoons of tomato paste.
Soon after my mixing, Lisa had finished trimming the fat (not a metaphor!) And she came away with a nice slice of meat to roll up for our roast.
That then went into a freezer bag with my freshly made red wine and tomato marinade.
Raffi likes to help with these things, so she helped to place the mix into the fridge.
I think she needs to grow a tad more to make her job easier in future!
And here it is sitting in it's home for the next few hours.
While that was left to do it's thing Lisa (now an expert meat chopper thingo) set to making the steaks out of the main portion of meat.
Damn that looks like good steak! We'll be trying that tomorrow night for dinner.
A few hours later, our roast had finished marinating and it was time to prepare that for cooking.
I rolled it up into a neat little log and Lisa stuck some skewers in to keep it all wrapped up.
NOTE TO SELF: Don't piss off misses if skewers are around!
Then it was into the electric frying pan on a super low temperature to start it's process in becoming awesome.
It had been baking now for about 3 hours and it was time to start throwing our vegetables in.
On the menu, roasted potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, carrot, corn on the cob and brocoli. Yum!
Another hour of slow cooking and bingo!
A symbol of awesomeness.
And Raffi just "needs" to have her pic taken, can't pull a camera out around her, I think she's going to be a model when she grows up!
And finally slicing the awesomeness and it sliced like Paris Hilton - EASY!
Finally it faces the Master Chef judges for the final verdict. It got 2 thumbs up, probably would have got more thumbs, but the kid aint a freak luckily!
If there was a word to describe how awesome awesome is, that word would only be a fraction of how good this meal was!
