New Year's Dinner
« on: January 01, 2021, 08:54:28 AM »
I am curious to know what one is making for New Year's day dinner.  I will be slow cooking a prime rib with homemade gravy, potatoes (just not sure what type at this time0 and a vegetable.

We don't do a traditional dinner, usually just finger foods all day while watching bowl games. 

This year, we have really not been able to get into college football with all its messed up schedules.  So, it is just Bent and me and we have dialed it back.  I will make a good sized tray of loaded nachos -- chips, refried beans, cheddar cheese in layers and then into oven to get hot and melted and next topped with sour cream and guac. Bent will cook up the delicious Costco tempura shrimp and maybe a dipping sauce.  Maybe some brownies to end the day.  And I will probably throw some black eyed peas into the refried beans because we did not eat any last New Years Day and look at what happened! ;D

Last night cooked a 2",  3+ pound Porterhouse steak.  Steak rubbed with Oakridge Santa Maria Grill Seasoning.  On the pit at 275 until internal reached 130.  I then seared in a cast iron skillet using Ghee.  Cut it off the bone, sliced and then placed back in the bone, steakhouse style.  Served with mashed potatoes, coconut cream kale, homemade cranberry sauce/relish.  Came out very good.  Just needed to let the meat rest just a tad longer before slicing as I did lose some of the juices from the meat.

Happy New Year Everyone!

I guess I do not follow directions very well.  I was supposed to talk about what I am making today, not last night.  Ugh.  Ok, think tonight will be the left overs from last night.

Just finished the kitchen cleanup.
I think the Tryptophan is kicking in now.

If it is allowed I would like to start with lunch rather than dinner! My brother and three of his friends came up to go snowmobiling, so I made them some lunch before they went out.

We didn't celebrate Christmas until last Tuesday. I smoked two top round roasts for the dinner and only needed one. Today I sliced the leftover one for Italian beef sandwiches. Still have enough left for hot beef sandwiches tomorrow!

I have country ribs on the grill for tonight. I don't know where it came from, but I always try and start the year with pork.

I sure hope the black eyed peas help!

I had a cheese burger and football.   Looks like Bama is going to roll Notre Dame.

I went hiking new years instead of cooking. The weather was good and I had time so I did 18.8 miles solo with three peak climbs, totaling 4,800 feet of gain. It was a good day.

After finishing I rehydrated and then drove through El Pollo Loco.  My wife and I will be hiking tomorrow as we work on her conditioning following two knee replacement surgeries.

Hopefully, much more after I retire in two weeks.

There will definitely be a New Years weekend dinner, and breakfast. The plan was to smoke a whole salmon but we could not find one.

I know for sure that I will be cooking a big breakfast for everyone in our bubble on my outdoor griddle on Sunday.

That fits work the one work schedule we accommodate. Not sure whether dinner will be Saturday or Sunday.

More likely Saturday since I have not cooked much the past couple of days. That has led to a few too many recent trips to Der Wienerschnitzel.

I have some good food in the queue. It may be a good day for a lamb tenderloin. I also have a bunch of ribeye steaks that are ready to go.

My wife has been focusing on making soup with her new soup maker.

AND THE WINNER IS -  -

Hats off to everyone in contributing to this thread. A great job in preparation & photos by many.

I will say though, that the one that makes my mouth water the most (exclude the kale) is the Porterhouse Steak as submitted by cookingjnj.

YUM! And served with mashed potatoes to boot.
It sure beats the heck out of the pea soup made with my (Christmas Eve.) ham bone.
Invite me over anytime, jnj.

Made a prime rib on the MAK for New  Year's Day dinner served it with broccoli and what is known as Hasselback potatoes, IMO the Swedish version of a bake potatoes.  You take the potatoe partially slice it about 1/8 or so apart but not all the way thru.  Add butter or olive oil wrap in foil and cook until done.  Then you can add toppings and place under the broiler to finish.  I left under the broiler a tad to long as I was refilling my wine glass and having a sip or two.
