Recipe: Grilled (sort of) Short Ribs
I’ve been trying to find a summer short rib recipe that works for grillers. I tried the smoker and the oven and several iterations on the grill and finally compromised. Here’s the result…we thought it was pretty darn good. Of course, you can tweak it. 🍷 Wine Pairing: A full-bodied …
Recipe: Beef Carpaccio
Carpaccio is the Italian version of Steak Tartare (see Moody’s Foodie recipe for Steak Tartare). Carpaccio is raw beef so if you have issues with raw or even rare, skip this recipe. If you can jump that hurdle, this is a real treat. This was first developed by Guiseppe Cipriani …
