I like the brandy. The recipe sounds good--we'll try it!! I was afraid you had hidden a chicken liver in there!!!

Thanks again, Blane!


Re: Steak Rumaki recipe - Mare749 - 01-22-2012

Thanks Blane. I'm not a big fan of bourbon, so I think the brandy would be a great sub.

Oh thank you Blaine. This sounds divine! I can almost taste it!

I think the brandy would be good - but a really good Kentucky Bourbon would echo the vanilla - its screaming Makers Mark to me! Geeze - a perfect excuse!

You had me at the bourbon vanilla sauce....I'd definately go with the strip here.

Thanks!

I think I may do this next Saturday and use brandy instead of bourbon. But I also think I may use filet as I'm not crazy about strip steak.

Any ideas how to cook the bacon with the toothpicks sticking out? Rearrange the picks as the sides cook? What?

My fave rumaki is pineapple chunks wrapped in bacon and baked at 400-425 degrees until the bacon cooks. I pre-cook the bacon until it's just pliable so the pineapple doesn't get too dry. Yum, yum, yum! Sweet and Bacon! If you soak maraschino cherries in some kind of liquor, they could be a topping!

Another recipe I love from that issue are the Chicken Roulades! I recommend buying Perdue Perfect Portions for the chicken as it's thin breast, 5 oz, and easier to pound thinner. At least for me.
