It was the first of my "33 Variations Birthday Recipes" that I have made. My brother, Mike, is the creator of Beef Maryland and I've got to hand it to him, it's an amazing dish! It is his take on Beef Wellington and uses ground beef rather than a piece of beef ... and here's what it looks like (sans the pate as our local - small town - grocery store did not have it; funnier still, the guy I asked and who works at the store did not even know what pate was...)!
One of the really great parts of this particular recipe is that you get to make individual dishes for who ever's coming to your table! :)
Chef Moi, ready to dig in!
This is what she looks like from within!
Now I'm no published food critique, and I was the chef, but it's a great dish! The spices blend well together and are complemented nicely with a dry red wine - I served the same wine I put in the dish with the dish and it was a Chianti.
It's like a party in your mouth ya'll!
If my bro ok's it, I'll put the recipe up on here for others .... or perhaps, if we know one another, we should make a dinner date and I'll do the cooking!
Yah...do it.
