Steak ‘n Sides
Steak and sides! Creamed beets, creamed spinach, fried gnocchis, and steak, fried shallots!
Salt
Fresh beets, shallots, corn, Gnocchis from the store. I apologize for not making the gnocchis from scratch. This post would be seriously nuts if I had to show this process so I thought I’d spare you all the pain. Fresh pumpkin gnocchi post is on the way though! Keep your eyes
out in the open.
Spinach is cooked and drained in cheesecloth. Getting prepared for creaminess.
Meat and stone. Very archaic no? Notice the marbling on the meat. EPIC!
Fresh beet. Ladies, please note that this can also be used as a lipstain.
Onion + Garlic sauteeing in olive oil and butter…getting ready to meet ravaged beets.
Time for C.R.E.A.M…Cash Rules Everything Around Me.
Slightly boiled gnocchi in flour.
With mini onion rings, OR shallot rings.
Gnocchi pillows.
Flame for meat.
Yes now you know what the stone is for.
Pantone Sides. My favorite was dipping the gnocchi into the creamed spinach….
I only use the pink salt and red peppercorn after the meat is cooked. You can crush the peppers but I like to chew on them.

this is so weird…are you my psychic twin?? just last night i broiled a nice lean piece of steak for dinner. and that morning, i went to the farmer’s market and talked to a guy that sold me some beautiful shiitakes about the benefits of truffle salt. he recommended it over truffle oil which is what i had originally been looking for. have you checked out the orangette blog?

hiun_na + swank heights–
no I am not professionally trained. Just alot of food tv + travel channel watching and alot of research through restaurant going and cookbooks.
My cooking is really nothing compared to the brilliant Adria brothers in spain.

Food photography ain’t easy, but you make this look absolutely gorgeous.

Your food posts are totally insane. And orgasmic. You are better than everyone else.
March 10th, 2009 at 5:44 am
Your food posts are always A M A Z I N G. Much better than Freeky Fries. But if you really desire them, I’m in Milan, and a trade can definitely be arranged!

It’s always nice to see another woman who enjoys a good steak. I am a die hard carnivore and I believe that if you are part of the 10% of the world who can get a hold of a juicy piece of meat you should damn well enjoy it.

jeezum crow! when are you going to open a restaurant?? your creations are so beautiful and thoughtful. i bet you have a killer old leather metal-smithing apron you wear when creating them. haha. i still haven’t had breakfast yet so this post is pure torture.
March 11th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
I didn’t know there were so many different types of salt. Thanks for enlightening me!xx
March 11th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
I tried to e-mail you about a former post, but I didn’t realize that they just got sent back? There was that one black cod that you cooked that just looked SUPER GOOD. I was wondering how do you cook your cod? Does that sound wrong? Anyways, I’m a big fan of your food posts. You make it look like you could do it in like 10 minutes!

My GOD. I’d go gay for you.

Very enticing dish Lux
. I’d like to know two things: Where can I find the cooking stone you used? My first guess would be Pearl River in Soho but perhaps you know of a different place. Secondly, that glass pot is so lovely. I googled it and the nearest I found was one that looks like yours from a company called Simax. Links to follow. Thanks!
