I used chuck steak which is a cut I don't think I've ever made before.  It's not what I would call an especially tough cut, but neither does it possess the nice tender quality of a strip and is a ways off from the succulent texture of tenderloin.  Didn't do anything too crazy, just rubbed it in oil and seasoning and then adjusted the cook times I'm used to, for a thin steak.  Seared it on each side at medium heat for 30 sec. and then popped it in the oven at 425˚ for an additional 30 sec. and finally left it under a cloche for 3 minutes.  All in all it was a decent piece of steak that I picked up for a rock-bottom price.  Passion Fruit for desert.

I like this. Simple and guaranteed not to be overdone.

How thin? It looks like about an inch in your picture; is that right?

It was approx. a half inch ( 3/4 in some places ) and I'll typically be using one that's close to an inch or more which I'll sear for something closer to 2 min. on each side followed by 1 - 1 1/2 min tops in the oven and then under the cloche for 5 min.  I wanted to make certain it didn't get overdone and so took some educated guesses that did the trick.

I still think some of the stuff on the current list would be good to do but here is my running list of suggestions for the future.  Feel free to repost at any time with your own commentary, additions etc.

 

SUSHI - (I'm not really expecting a whole lot of people to want to do this, but you never know unless you ask...)

SEAFOOD - (Make something that came from water)

MUSHROOMS - (Make something that utilizes mushrooms in some way)

STUFF IT IN - (Make something that involves stuffing one or more things inside of something else)

GRILL IT - (Make something on the grill outside)

SOUP OR STEW (Make one)

AWESOME SAUCE - (For dipping, pouring, marinating etc. just make an awesome sauce)

BIG KAHUNA BURGER - (I think most of us probably know where the idea for this one originated.  Pick one of the made up recipes available online or make up your own version of this semi-fictitious burger.)

Stew is by far one of my favourite meals to make. Top 3 easily.

For me it's something that tends to just sort of come together when things, meat, vegetables, broth etc. happen to be on hand or cheaply acquirable.  It's a great way to make food go the distance for sure.  Soup/Stew and Salad or Sandwich once a day all week long makes life easier.
