Sunday lunch - what a treat !!

in life •  7 years ago 

It's really been wonderful having Creston stay with us at the airbnb.

On Sunday - he cooked for us - and this was the second meal he has made for us. The first one definitely needs a blog as well. On that occasion he made salmon for us - also cooked on the barbecue - very much a Thai type of recipe. I'm enjoying the different tastes and especially as we are getting so many Thai recipes on our @cookwithus competition - it's good that I'm experiencing such different tastes.

We've had so much fun - each of us taking a turn to cook - haha it's almost like a reality show cooking contest. Creston also introduced us to a game he played with his kids when they were young. We each had to talk about our "apple" of the day - a high point and our "onion" of the day - a low point. Was great fun and a tradition I'd like to carry on.

Creston fired up the barbecue and laid the coals in a specific was so as to slow cook the Black Angus Ribeye Steak from the UK - Wow !! - I cannot fully describe the tender and tasty steak - he cooked the meat to perfection. Perfectly pink on the inside with an amazingly flavoured charred outside.

My first thoughts were that this was enough to feed an army - but six of us made short work of it.

He also char grilled the vegetable on the fire - cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, zucchini - and not to forget some of Dalia's red chilli's - which she reluctantly gave to Creston to put on the fire. @dhilmi eats these raw and she can't get them hot enough. Just a little on our fingers from touching them was enough to send Lesley and I grabbing the tzadziki to cool down. Was also great to see one of our contestants @cooknbake on @cookwithus do an entry making tzadziki

@pandamama, the picture of that steak is mouthwatering. I can almost taste the caramelization from the charred steak. Did Creston put any seasoning on the meat? I wish I could try some of Dalia's chilis!

It was the best steak I've ever tasted @loveself. Yes, he made a marinade - I saw one ingredient was Worcestershire sauce and I saw barbecue spice - but I'll ask him. It was truly delicious

Something about Worcestershire sauce and steaks, they pair so well together.

Oohhhhhh love this!! :) pics are amazing - hehehe about the chillis! Mwah <3

More news for you on chillies dalia - Creston had a vodka chilli shot at Shaka Zulu - you have to film it for your web channel @dhilmi

Looks delicious!! Im sure you guys had a great time doing what you love and tasting new flavors😁 and yes, the competition certainly brings a great variety of culinary tastes from all around the world! Fun to see and try out some of those recipes soon enough! 🤗

Yes, we definitely used some of your tips for our Tzadziki @cooknbake - was delicious

That’s a good-looking chunk of meat! Describing it as 'perfection' says it all! Those veggies on the grill look good as well. I’m not surprised you had no problems finishing the meal.

Thanks @offoodandart - was a great treat indeed - and I still need to blog on the other meal that Creston cooked for us

What a nice meal! You are getting spoiled and will have to hire a chef soon!

Haha I could never afford you @chefsteve and why would I settle for less
