Raspberry Steak

by jon on August 11, 2008

I don't want to turn this into a cooking blog, however lately my life has allowed me to experiment with my cooking.

Tonight: raspberry steak. It begins with two cups of raspberries, two table spoons of sugar and a bit of raspberry vinaigrette:

After a bit of marinading, we end up with this. Notice the raspberry seeds have remained part of the searing:

Steak without mashed potatos is a bit of a faux pas:

While the inside lended towards rare, this worked well with the colours. I made a sauce from tomato paste, worchester sauce and the remaining raspberries which complemented the steak while giving it a bit of a kick. The onions were lightly seasoned with dijon mustard and pesto:

Maybe use your cooking in relation to programming concepts?

wow, this looks delicious. hopefully i will get to eat whatever recipe you publish next!
maybe you can discuss cooking when you write about drop-down menus in the zend framework.

Are there patterns in cooking?

@Julian:
I think there are patterns in everything :) . I suppose it’s just a matter of choosing what cross-section is worth abstracting into what someone would deem a worthwhile pattern.

Recipes are patterns, garnish-on-food could be a pattern, food-on-plate could also be a pattern.

I am a programmer and enter to your site to read about zend… and finish commenting on the cuisine.

Delicious :) . I see there any patterns?
