Grilling duck breast and ribeye steak with vegetables and a mash from the Green egg with my friend Fabio.

in life •  7 years ago 

My friend Fabio is home alone.

His girlfriend (and soon to be wife) is going back to Brazil for 4 months.

I called him if he wanted to have some beers and cook something on the green egg.

He was up for it!

I still had meat in the fridge from my previous visit to Makro so this time we didn't have to go to butcher Schell.

Bianca and I went to Rotterdam to pick him up because we had to give him some stuff back that we borrowed.

Then we drove back to my place.

On the way, we stopped to buy some vegetables.

I found a duck breast and two beautiful rib-eyes in my fridge.

The vegetables are a mix of, peppers, aubergine, and zucchini.

Because duck breast cooks much slower than the other steaks we had to do some kitchen prep to it. We scorched the fat and pan fried it to reduce the fat a little.

Then it was time to grill. I went outside and lit the green egg till it was 200c. I put on all the vegetables that I coated in olive oil and sea salt and grilled them all at the same time. It took about 5-6 minutes.

Then I put on the meat at 270c. All three at the same time. I took this picture from the top. It's blazing hot in there!

I grilled the meat for about 1-2 minutes per side until the internal temp was 55-60c. I took them off and wrapped them up in foil to let them rest for 3 minutes. In the meantime, Bianca had made a mash and it was time plate up!

I cut in the ribeye first to serve it and it looked great! Later we eat the duck.

End result! Yes! A clean good looking plate full of flavor. The vegetables had a nice char that made them sweet and the meat was nice and soft. Bianca's mash is always good. All and all a perfect meal for a Friday!

Now this is what we call a steak , which we were missing for some time, food looks really delicious and colorful... @exyle you have got an amazing cooking talent!

Hehehe first of all I always feel uncomfortable with the way that pepper would taste.

Secondly. Did you add oil while grilling the cucumber and pepper coz they turned oily when you were done.

Thirdly , what's the mash made of? It looks like what we call Akpu (cassava mould) in Nigeria

Mash was made with potatoes. I put oil and sea salt on the vegetables. The oil you see in the bowl is just olive oil because after they were done I put the same bowl.

Wow!! this yummy I have being waiting for your grill because am sure you will have one tonight and which you just did, this is great man

Something came To my mind after I finish reading your post this morning, It just has to be I will meet you one day. I don't know when it will be, but I believe it will happen, steemit will surely make it possible.

NO!

It is either duck breast OR ribeye... People can't afford both.

You did both in the same day? OMG. I'm drooling now.

If I am ever in your town, I'm coming by for dinner.

BTW, I know you write a lot about crypto and stuff... how stable do you really believe blockchain tech can be going forward? Before you answer.. check my post tonight. I called it all out.

...but @exyle I owe you a compliment. When I go back looking for steemians like yourself who are doing their thing... you're the same guy I've always known, giving the same great content to the chain. It feels good visiting your blog, each and every single time. Keep it up.

I checked out your post. And thank you, man!

I can see you and your friend having bachelor party. Getting taken care of your other half’s, firing egg grill with delicious 🥩 some veggies. Of corse a 🍺. Cheers🍻 to you and your friend Fabio. Thank for sharing this bachelor time of yours with us.

wow amazing recipe indeed, i really like ribeye steak and especially peppers, aubergine, and zucchini are my favorite because they increase the flavor and taste of the dish and they are also full of nutrients and vitamins, i note down the recipe and i surely give it a try and man the end result of the dish is no doubt superb and it looks so tasty too, thanks for sharing this recipe with us and wish you a very joyful and cheerful week ahead friend, Stay blessed.

I always look forward to this your kinda post... first it was playing Mario with your beautiful kid now its Guy's hang out. I think its time i settle down and enjoy life

@exyle at the kitchen again. But the meats looks to me like they are half done in the middle or is that how they are supposed to be?

It's called medium. I prefer it a little more red but it was still very good.

Hey @exyle
@fabio the same man who unorthodoxly cooked the same in coke.didnt he give some outlandish tip while in making.

Yep, same, man!

The meal looks so attractive.I guess the taste is nice. I can't help but notice your strong affection for beer. You have a twin over here😃

I love the stuff, man.

ou really have a lot of creativity in the kitchen dear friend @exyle congratulations
the dishes look very delicious, Bon appetit.
I wish everyone a happy evening

Good times just beginning man. More tomorrow!

nothing cooks it like a green egg!

Yes! Love that thing!

your grilled veggies look amazing! Perhaps I need to schedule a trip to your lovely country.

Or invest that money and buy a green egg and make some yourself! :) But visiting the Netherlands is also a very good idea :) Hopefully soon all of it is possible.

I'm so jealous because the duck in chinese restaurants had a distinct taste compared to any chicken dish I could make. If I had my hands on my own batch of duck I could see myself getting by with a brown sugar barbecue rub with some baked beans. Man you are making me hungry lol

Brilliant work done this is super cool session of grilling with friends nice way to spend time along in a fun way :)

Looks wonderful! Healthy as well. You have not posted about your gym visits or your progress with steem fat. Don't quit!

I wrote about it. I have been to the gym 3 times this week. Bianca and I are doing well. She was over the moon, she gained 3kg of muscle. I lost a little bit of weight and getting stronger again.

Wow 4 months that's indeed abit of a long time, I haven't had mash in a while now feeling for some, love the look of the peppers yum @exyle

Your fridge is better than mine and the content is of the highest quality. Wow you can cook this looks so delicious.
And to accompany it with a nice red is like a marriage made in heaven.
But it wouldent be the same with out the company of good friends to share it with

Wow, this is an amazing looking plate of food! The duck and steak look perfect. I really like grilled veggies. They taste great and are good for you. Sounds like poor Fabio will be lonely for the next few months. That is a long time to be without your soulmate.

Yeah, I been through it before when Bianca had to go back for 3 months. It's not easy. Modern communication helps though, like video chat.

@exyle you cannot beat a good Rib-Eye, with Sweet Grilled Vege's and Bianca's Mashed Potatoes. What a Heavenly Dinner with a great Friend. It is a Positive Blessing to be able to read along and follow your daily Life Adventures Mark...........

Grilling session was on point there super nice meal you enjoyed after doing all the hard work :)

There is a always a huge fun when two buddies cook together and crack jokes while doing all this. I am sure you two had made too :D
