June Menu

June... Summer is almost here.  Let's start the fun!

Please choose 6 or 12 items from the choices below. Be adventurous and choose 6 or 12 different things, or select several of the same dish if it really appeals to you.

Summer Special

A lot of our customers always tell us they love our flank steaks so we have decided to feature them ALL! Stock up and enjoy them all summer. They are perfect for the grill and impromptu gatherings.
Unfortunately food costs went up so we need to charge a
$2 supplemental charge on each flank steak. Still, they are worth it!

Balsamic Flank Steak ~ $2 suppl.
A delicious marinade of balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, shallots and a touch of sugar create a meal where not one morsel will be left! The small amount of sugar caramelized while cooking, forming a slight but delicious crust. Adults and kids will enjoy this one! Grill it.
(easy to split - easy at home - kid friendly)

Flank Steak San Juan ~ $2 suppl.
This seasoned marinade makes the steak juicy and tender, and adds the flavors of oregano and chile (not too spicy hot). Perfect for grilling or the broiler.
(low carb - easy to split- very easy at home - kid friendly if you skip red pepper)

Flank Steak with Argentinean-Style Chimichurri ~ $2 suppl.
Rubbed with a mixture of dried herbs and spices (not too spicy hot), this lean steak is ready for the grill. This is by far the most requested dish in our menus and we think you'll agree that it's pretty fabulous.
(low carb - easy to split- very easy at home - kid friendly if you skip red pepper)

Korean Flank Steak ~ $2 suppl.
Perfect for the grill, this tender flank steak is full of flavors and a bit of the spicy side: garlic, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, etc.  You will fight for the leftovers, that is, if there's any left...
(low carb - easy to split - easy at home - a bit spicy)

Waco Flank Steak ~ $2 suppl.
Perfect for the grill, this tender flank steak is delicious: on the sweeter side with hints of brown sugar, allspice, salt and pepper. If there are any left-overs, this is delicious cold on top of a salad.
(easy to split - v. easy at home - v. kid friendly)

Flank Steak with Red Wine Marinade ~ $2 suppl.
Red wine, garlic and soy sauce give this flank steak a great if subtle and refined, flavor. Perfect for the grill.
(low carb - easy to split- very easy at home - kid friendly)

Flank Steak Medellin ~ $2 suppl.
You'll swoon over this amazingly tender flank steak marinated in dark beer and spices, and served alongside an amazing salsa with cilantro and jalapenos. Sole worked in Medellin in 1992, when the search for Pablo Escobar, the drug lord, was at its height. They found him hiding 5 blocks from where she was living. This dish captures all the excitement of that place and time. Perfect for the grill.

And here's the rest of the June Menu

VERY EASY AT HOME

Honey-Chili Drumsticks
Smokey in a slightly sweet and tangy way, these chicken legs are truly outstanding. So much, that the original version of the recipe appeared in Gourmet magazine. Family friendly dish (not too spicy). Bake or grill.
(low carb - easy to split - easy at home - kid friendly)

Cowboy Bean Salad
This salad has become one of my favorite summertime treats: perfect as a side dish, light meal, or to take to somebody's BBQ This is just an amazing salad with a huge variety of beans (black, garbanzo, black-eyed peas) and veggies (bell peppers, green onions, chiles, corn and jalapenos, etc.) And guess what, no cooking required - none whatsoever on your part. Just thaw and serve. And since beans are full of protein, this salad is really filling.
(vegetarian - easy to split - easy at home - kid friendly - full meal)

Chicken Scallopini with Fresh Garden Herbs
When you taste the fresh parsley and tarragon on these tender chicken breasts you won't believe this came from your freezer. A Dinner by the Dozen favorite. Since we cut the breasts in half horizontally they cook in  a flash - sauté or grill.
(low carb - easy to split - easy at home - kid friendly)

Spice-Rubbed Pork Tenderloins ~ $3 supplemental charge
Moist and quick cooking, these pork tenderloins are rubbed with a variety of seasonings and ready to go. Choices include: chipotle; beer Cajun; "magic dust" (chili, cumin, mustard, garlic, etc); rosemary garlic; citrus garlic; six pepper blend; tequila lime pepper and smoky mesquite. Perfect for the grill or oven. Invite people over, light the grill and enjoy!

Provence Pork Chops
Tender boneless pork chops get drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, seasonings and herbs de Provence. A great dish for the grill.
(low carb - easy to split - easy at home - moderately kid friendly)

Southwestern Spaghetti
An easy and wholesome meal. Tomato sauce, black beans, cheese and corn served on top of spaghetti pasta. Easy and great, if you can boil water you can prepare this meal. Cooks on your stovetop.
(vegetarian - easy split - very easy at home - kid friendly - full meal)

Southwestern Spaghetti w/ Chorizo
Same as above but made spicier with the addition of chorizo sausage crumbles.
(easy split - very easy at home - kid friendly - full meal)

Georgia BBQ'ed Chicken
No, the BBQ sauce doesn't have peaches, but Georgia's other claim to fame: Coca-Cola! White-trashy but delicious, this concoction first marinates and tenderizes the bone-in chicken pieces and then is reduced to make a yummy BBQ sauce that gets slathered on top. Bakes in the oven.
(easy to split - v. easy at home - very kid friendly)

EASY AT HOME

Broccoli Cheddar Quiche
One of our stand-bys, perfect for brunch, lunch or anytime.  Broccoli and mild cheddar cheese are cooked in an egg and cream custard inside a deep-dish pie crust. We use real eggs unless you tell us you prefer egg substitute. Bakes in the oven.

(vegetarian - cannot be split - easy at home - kid friendly - full meal)

The Ultimate Bacon Cheddar Burgers
These burgers are truly outstanding. Juicy and tender, these burgers are just great: very moist, cheesy and full of bacon flavor. We provide the buns, you provide the grill.
(low carb w/o buns - possible to split - relatively easy at home - kid friendly - full meal)

The Ultimate Bacon Blue Cheese Burgers
Same as above but with blue cheese. If you like blue cheese you must try them!
(low carb w/o buns - possible to split - relatively easy at home - full meal)

Grilled WILD Salmon with Charmoula ~ $7 supplemental charge
An amazing Moroccan-inspired wet rub turns the salmon almost red while infusing it with the flavors of cilantro, cumin, garlic and paprika. We served this at a party and everybody loved it! In fact, it's one of my favorite rubs for salmon. Perfect for the grill.
(low carb - a bit harder to split - easy at home)

Peach Cobbler
Have dessert and just enjoy life! Sweet peaches are covered with a streusel topping with optional nuts. So delicious and easy. Bakes in the oven.
(vegetarian - cannot be split - easy at home - very kid friendly!)

Corn & Cheese Empanadas
These vegetarian empanadas (turnovers) are typical of the northern part of Argentina where they are called "empanadas de humita". They make a great meal, and the leftovers reheat well for lunch at the office/school the next day. Since the dough is imported and difficult to find, we are offering this dish on a first come-first served basis. We regret the inconvenience but sign up for them early so you can get them! Cooks in the oven.
(vegetarian - cannot be split - easy at home - kid friendly - full meal)

A LITTLE BIT MORE INVOLVED AT HOME

Java BBQ Pork Loin
This wonderful recipe calls for a marinade, a dry rub with just a touch of coffee and a flavored BBQ sauce. The result is a delicious dish that tastes like it took forever to make, but in reality, it's fast and easy to grill.
(possible to split - easy at home - kid friendly)

Java BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
Same marinade, dry rub and BBQ sauce as above, but with chicken drumsticks instead of pork loin. Grill.
(easy to split - easy at home - kid friendly)

Sicilian Chicken
A perfect dish to show off with family and friends. Tastes amazing, yet it's very easy to prepare at home! Fresh mint from my own herb garden, garlic and lots of lemon flavor bone-in chicken pieces, which get served with a white wine sauce and sprinkled with almonds. Simmers on the stovetop and it's worth the splatters!
(low carb w/o sauce - difficult to split - a bit harder at home - kid friendly)
