a rib eye sounds terrific !! Keep up the great work !
Hi Harry,
The pic looks delicious.... ish hahahaha. I'm sure it was drool-worthy. The tuna salad caught my eye though, what was that like? I rarely think of something as a salad if it doesn't have lettuce in it.
Thanks, BayouBabe. It was pretty terrific.
I'll keep on trying. I promise you that! :) You do the same, okay?
Thanks, Erika! It was delicious. My wife claims it's the best steak she's ever had! High praise indeed. :)
I think I may not have described my lunch very well. By "tuna salad" I meant something like the filling of a "tuna salad sandwich".
I'm not sure if it's the same where you're at but over here, that's a pretty popular sandwich.
It basically consists of tuna, mayo, relish, sometimes chopped celery and spices (usually). That's the "salad" part of the sandwich. Sometimes they'll add a leaf of lettuce between the bread and the "salad" though.
Anyhow, I really like simple one-dish meals - especially for lunch. That's why I make things like the "burrito in a bowl" or the "tuna salad".
I am definitely a one dish kinda gal, myself, Harry. Makes it easy to transport to work, too.
I add boiled eggs to my tuna salad or sometimes I fix it with basalmic vinegar, red onions and, in times past, white beans.
I had to LOL! at Erika's comment that salad generally has lettuce in it. True but we have so many that don't, don't we? Chicken, Waldorf, Potato and Bing Cherry are a few others.
OK let's get into language hehe.
A 'tuna salad sandwich' usually has tuna and greens and other salad items in it. It's actually a green salad with tuna, roughly.
A 'tuna mix sandwich' is where the tuna has been mixed into a sort of lumpy spread with mayo, corn, peas, spring onions, etc. This is spread onto the sandwich alone (or with a thin layer of lettuce like you say). I can't stand it, I find they put way too much mayo in to make the paste spread further.
Did you say you caramelise the onions for it though? That's a new idea... hmmm ... got me thinking....
Good day, Erika.
I guess what I had was closer to a "tuna mix salad" filling.
I did indeed caramelize the onions. I love grilled onions. Mmmm.
I should note that my tuna-filling isn't too similar to the variety you may be familiar with. The reason for this is that I use sour cream instead of mayo. I also use a horseradishy German mustard. Both of those items, combined with the tuna in olive oil and the onions makes for some good eats ... in my book anyhow. :)
My wife disagrees. She thinks the sour cream makes it "too tangy". Oh well ... more for me! :)
