Deutsches Beefsteak

My “German Cookbook” has turned into quite the gem. We’ve now tried a dozen recipes and each one has been fantastic. I’ve compared notes with my German co-worker and she nods her head each time I walk her through my cooking experience -- authentic, yes.

This week I was a culinary nut -- some fantastic meals. Chicken Madeira (of Cheesecake Factory fame) with real mashed potatoes and roasted red bell peppers, Balsamic Beef Tenderloin with roasted carrots and leeks, Deutsches Beefsteak with Serviette Knoedel, Spargel (asparagus), und drei Pfeffer sosse.

The Deutsches Beefsteak, aka German Hamburger, was very similar to something my mom makes -- Navigator Burgers -- but without the sour cream. You don’t put a bun on these, simply serve them with onions on top.

Today I have to go and finalize what we’re doing with what’s left at the old house. There is an entertainment center, a desk, a fake tree, and a bunch of little things. At this point, I don’t really want to do a garage sale and would rather truck it all to Goodwill...except I don’t have a truck. I’ll try to craigslist some of it, but don’t know if it’ll move fast enough.

Tschüss!
