Gastro Gnome - Eat Better Wherever

Plate ‘em up

Trussed up mule deer bottom round from a year I can't remember. Makes good cold cuts, but pretty good hot with mashed potatoes (or roasted carrots).

Season with Cavendar's Greek Seasoning, rub with olive oil, prop up with carrots or celery. Roast at 350 for 20min/lb, then drizzle more oil and crank the heat to 425 to brown it. Pull at 120 degrees.

Rest, slice, serve. Maybe add butter and garlic to roast the carrots a bit more at high heat.

We tried the Elk Chili Verde from the November/December ‘24 Bugle. We really liked it. I would add more Jalapeño next time as I didn't think it was spicy and I don’t do that spicy of foods. I made pinto beans to go with it and my wife did Spanish rice.

So I did something a bit different with the homemade pastrami. A spin on the Irish nachos. Thinly sliced potatoes twice deep fried in beef tallow. Thinly sliced pastrami, steamed. Shredded cheese. In a cookie sheet add a layer of potatoes. Then layer of cheese. Then load on pastrami. Layer of cheese. Another layer of potatoes. Then a layer of cheese. Into the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

Sides include sauerkraut, salsa, chives and sour cream. This did not suck.

Accidental meatless Monday. For those that like weird pizzas:

-Crust of your choice
-A sweet oil or vinegar- I’ve used pear-infused olive oil, but lately it’s been medjool date balsamic vinegar. Spread over crust
-mozzarella
-sliced pear
-chopped walnuts
-bleu cheese

Bake, and top it with a drizzle of honey, if desired.

I love pizza, even weird ones.

If that's as good as it looks you found a winner!
