The Last Supper – Ribeye Steak with Sweet Potao Fries and a Vegetable Stir-Fry Medley
It is that time of year again, holidays are over…. New Year…Time to get in shape….In addition to this I have two major motivating factors, turning 50 this year and my compadre…C.W. Harris has been grinding it out (becoming a Super Hero). I am feeling bad. Need to get back the Abs. But before this happen, I have to have my LAST SUPPER!!!!
So about two weeks ago, passing by one of my favorite neighborhood butcher, La Rosa, I spot Ribeye. (If there any that I am sure God created besides me, it was a beautiful piece of meat called Ribeye.) Something about it started singing to me in a heavenly voice. I could hear myself being delivered. As if I was being seduced and had to cheat on my princesa, she called me. Devour me. She called my name. I knew how Adam felt (or some of our politicians) TEMPTED!!!! I ask for two pieces about two inches thick each. That would give me one piece for me. And enough for everyone else! (I am being fair. For it was I that was suffering thru this moment of deceitful lust!!)
While smoking My UZI Weighs a Ton (thank you Mr. Drew). I walk home… enough time to contemplate how and when I was going to partake of her love, for yes. Ribeye …I shall have you. First, just like any great Goddess, she needed to be prepared for sacrifice. Let’s see What’s in da Fridge? How can I dress her for a soon to come lovely night of decadence?
Got it. She will be bathed (aged) for at least a week in a bath only fit for her beauty.
Queen’s bath (marinade)
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Cracked Black Pepper
- Rosemary
- Salsa (got some left over from Costco)
- Crushed Garlic
I leave her there resting in all of her lavishness for two weeks. (Yeah in the fridge – wrapped and sealed in good old Tupperware – to keep the refrigerator taste out.)

Torta de Pavo – Turkey Pie
What’s in da Fridge……TURKEY TORTA….
Well alright, it is a meat pie. Something like that.
Two days I made two stuffed turkey breast with asparagus, sundried tomatoes, tartufelle cheese (basically a provolone aged with truffles).
This is a really easy dish.
• Two 9” pie crust. (yeah too lazy to make pie crust. Not that good yet).
• Basil
• 6 six eggs
• ¼ lb of cheese
• Head of Broccoli
• Two tomatoes
• ¼ lb queso fresco
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Garlic
• Olive oil
• Salt / Pepper to tastePreheat oven to 325.
Here is when my best friend comes in to play – Food Processor.
Cut up your meat (not to wreck your processor). Slow add the turkey with the stuffing. Add in the garlic, eggs, olive oil, basil, cheese!
Pour into a bowl. Check to make sure everything was processed. It should be a creamy consistency. Use the heavy cream to smooth it out.
Now…chop the head of broccoli. You really only want the florets. Line the bottom of the pie crust pan with the florets. Now pour in your mixture. Smooth out. Cover sparsely with some more florets.
Take your tomatoes slice and de-seed. Chop finely and integrate the queso fresco. This is your last topping for the torta. Place on top.
Top with a little Olive oil.
Ready for the Oven. You are going to need 30-45 minutes at 325. You just want to make sure that it is cooked all the way thru. Should have the consistency of a cheesecake.
