Crying Tiger #BBQWeek

By

This week, Ellen of Family Around the Table and Christie of A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures have us sharing recipes for the grill. This is one of my favorite blogging weeks of the year! I love prepping food and handing it off to Jake to grill for me.



I'm sad that it's coming to a close. But I do have a lot of recipes to try for this summer now. Here's the final line-up.


Crying Tiger

Since I couldn't possibly let an entire #BBQWeek go with only veggies and cheeses, I am closing off the week with a simple grilled steak that gets an upgrade with a Thai-inspired spicy fish sauce. I saw some menus and people calling this 'Crying Tiger', so I am adopting that awesome name for this. It's almost so easy I'm loathe to actually call this a recipe. But you should definitely try it! I think I'll try the dipping sauce on the grilled lobster tail that Ellen, of Family Around the Table, shared (here).

Also my sauce is not a traditional Crying Tiger sauce. I added different ingredients, such as fresh ginger and soy sauce. And I skipped the sugar but sweetened with a bit of maple syrup.

Ingredients


  • 2 lbs steak (I used a grass-fed sirloin)
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 T fish sauce
  • 1 T shrimp paste
  • 1/2 C freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 T soy sauce
  • 1 T hot sauce (I used sriracha)
  • 1 t maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed
  • 1/2" knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 T fresh organic cilantro, roughly chopped

Procedure

Bring steak to room temperature. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Grill to desired doneness. Let meat rest while you make the sauce.

Dipping Sauce
Combine all sauce ingredients. I placed them all in a lidded mason jar and shook to combine. 

To serve, slice your steaks and serve with the sauce.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
