Monte-Cristo Pinwheels

Meredith was inspired by Ham and Cheese Pinwheels [Well Plated][@rev] but wanted to branch out and also try some new ideas.

It was

They were pretty good! A bit sticky but that was to be expected.

Salmon

I tried a twist--or lack there-of--of my Crispy Seared Salmon[@rev]. I tried just dry-brining the salmon, then later adding black pepper. It was cooked perfectly and the texture was great. But it was also a bit boring...

Oh well, still tasty enough and glad I tried.

I cooked this right before the steak

Broccolini

Oven roasted for 15 min or so

Sous-Vide Filet

I made Sous Vide Steak [Serious Eats][@rev] of filet mignon at 135°F for 2-3 hours after salting them. I tried something new and bacon-wrapped them.

Searing with the bacon was a bit harder since I had to get all of the edges of all of the steaks. I ended up using the long tongs to stack them all on a side and hold it. I could then rotate and (gently) press them back on the griddle.

I guess it added some flavor but far from a revelation.

They were also tied up already making it a bit harder to deal with
