Peep, that pie is beautiful, as always!

Med, wow, that is a lot of carpaccio! Did you get a good deal on it?

Ironman, your dish looks like comfort food that will warm the cockles!

Actually that's 1 rib eye very thinly sliced and it was $6 a lb boneless for the steaks when we bought them. We had more arugula, just didn't use it for the picture. That plate served us both.

Hey Chowderman-Your food looks fantastic. Did you notice we both have the same granite counter top?

Dinner was left-over lunch (Spaghetti) with Added Sausage and Mozzarella, and a nice salad, Country French !

Not the prettiest plate, but very satisfying !

Ironman -
If you put up a diving board on that dish, I'd be the first one in !!

Lunch-I am trying one of the Banquet Mega Bowls. "Chicken Fried Beef Steak" w/ Plenty of chicken, mashed Potato's,corn, green beans, shredded Cheese, & Plenty of gravy. Plenty of food for $3. Also- Not too salty. I will buy this again.
Roast Beef and veggies for dinner tonight.

Dan, my father gets himself a couple of frozen dinners every weekend, and he does pay attention to the sodium levels.

I'll suggest he take a look at the Banquet Mega Bowls.

Ah, brilliant! Did you partially freeze the steak before slicing it?

I would like to try it.

About 15-20 minutes in freezer and then I vigorously trimmed the fat. The pugs got the pieces that had a little too much fat in them and the odds and ends pieces where the fat made the steak pieces too small to slice. Used the end of my fist to gently pound and thin a couple of end pieces.

I also sprinkled the slices with a bit of Himalayan pink salt. I cheated on the aioli and used Kewpie mayo and mustard to make the aioli instead of making it from scratch.

We also make it another way which is chemically cooked. Thinly sliced, then marinated in a mixture of olive oil, s and p, a little bit of Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. We serve that over undressed arugula since some of the marinade stays on the beef strips, garnished with parm shavings. I tend to use eye of round for this prep and slice it super thin with the meat slicer. It helps to have it partially frozen even with the meat slicer.

Each way has its pros and cons.
