Gaga, a Butcher Block, and a Porterhouse!

by Diana

Check out this Vogue Hommes Japan cover with Lady Gaga covered in beef–I bet they used one mighty big butcher block for all that meat! Lady Gaga is so outrageous!

Here at Cooking & Blogging, our minds went straight to the red meat draped over Gaga. Really, did they use this huge John Boos Counter Butcher Block? Because there is no way some poor intern sliced up that beef on John Boos Maple butcher block!

Anyway, I haven’t had a really good steak in a while, and am fixing to make a juicy one. It’s raining here in Los Angeles, and there is no better comfort food.

Trissalicious has the right idea–a porterhouse steak with garlic chips, fingerling potatoes and warm crusty bread.

Steak with Garlic Chips by Trissalicious

How great does this look? I’ve never had garlic chips, but I just love the way they taste in my head!

Beef with Garlic Chips
* 300 grams porterhouse steak (or other good quality cut)
* 2 plus 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 tablespoons soy sauce
* 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
* salt and pepper to taste
* 3 large garlic cloves, finely sliced

1. Marinate the steak with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce and worcestershire sauce for 30 minutes
2. Heat the pan over high heat and sear the beef on each side for around 3 minutes each side (depending on the size of the steak)
3. Allow the steak to rest for half of the cooking time.
4. In the meantime, heat the rest of the olive oil and add the garlic. Fry off until golden brown.
5. Pour the garlic chips and flavoured oil over the steak. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Serve with baked potatoes or warm crusty bread.
