I wanted to recreate this salad I had years ago at @yardhouse -one of the most impressive combinations that I can’t stop thinking about even after all these years. And I had to pair it with my favorite Kauai grass fed beef for some added protein. 

Grilling the romaine gives it a nice charred flavor paired with creamy blue cheese and sweet candied pecans, and elevating it with a champagne vinaigrette… I can’t even explain how this taste just trust!!!

I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!

1 head of romaine lettuce
Blue cheese 
Candied pecans
Champagne vinaigrette(I use Girard’s)
1 10 oz top sirloin steak
Olive oil 
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons avocado oil
garnish with fresh thyme. 

Romaine:
-wash, dry and cut in half
-brush with olive oil
-sear each side on medium high for two minutes and set aside

Top Sirloin:
-Bring to room temperature and sprinkle fresh, grated sea salt, and black pepper on both sides
-Coat with olive oil
-Heat a neutral oil like avocado oil on high in a cast iron skillet.
-For medium rare, sear one side for three minutes then brown the edges. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Brazilian Carrot Cake makes a perfect spring time Brazilian Carrot Cake makes a perfect spring time dessert. 🐰🥕🪺
Fresh carrots gives this cake its natural orange color. Topped with a rich chocolate ganache, this is hands down my favorite cake of all time! My husband introduced me to this 🇧🇷 cake (aka Bolo de Cenoura in Brazil) when we first met and it may or may not be the reason I married him 🙃

This cake recipe comes together so easy in a blender. Yes, a blender! 

Ingredients:
* 11 oz carrot chunks
* 3 large eggs
* 1.5 cups of sugar 
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/3 cup of milk, any kind (I use my homemade cashew milk)
* 3/4 cup of olive oil
* 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, sour cream, or crème fraîche
* Pinch of Salt
* 2 cups of all-purpose flour, sifted
* 1 tablespoon of baking powder, sifted
* 1 teaspoon baking soda, sifted
* A pinch of salt
Chocolate Brigadero Ganache:
* 6 ounces of semi sweet chocolate 
* 1 can, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
* 2 tablespoons unsalted or salted butter, I prefer salted
* Splash of milk

1)Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
2)Blend carrots, eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth (20–30 sec).
3)Pour into a bowl, whisk in oil, then sift in flour, baking powder, and soda. Mix until just combined.
4)Pour batter into pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5)Cool 20–30 minutes, loosen edges, and invert onto a rack.
6)For brigadeiro: cook chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over medium-low, stirring until thick (about 10 min). Add milk if needed.
7)Place cake on a platter, pour brigadeiro over, and in the center to make a chocolate pool. Let set before serving.

Grilled Romaine with blue cheese, candied pecans, Grilled Romaine with blue cheese, candied pecans, and champagne vinaigrette paired with @ranchersdaughtersreserve grass fed top sirloin 👌🏽

I wanted to recreate this salad I had years ago at @yardhouse -one of the most impressive combinations that I can’t stop thinking about even after all these years. And I had to pair it with my favorite Kauai grass fed beef for some added protein. 

Grilling the romaine gives it a nice charred flavor paired with creamy blue cheese and sweet candied pecans, and elevating it with a champagne vinaigrette… I can’t even explain how this taste just trust!!!

I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!

Ingredients:
1 head of romaine lettuce
Blue cheese 
Candied pecans
Champagne vinaigrette(I use Girard’s)
1 10 oz top sirloin steak
Olive oil 
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons avocado oil
garnish with fresh thyme. 

Romaine:
-wash, dry and cut in half
-brush with olive oil
-sear each side on medium high for two minutes and set aside

Top Sirloin:
-Bring to room temperature and sprinkle fresh, grated sea salt, and black pepper on both sides
-Coat with olive oil
-Heat a neutral oil like avocado oil on high in a cast iron skillet.
-For medium rare, sear one side for three minutes then brown the edges. Flip and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
