1 oz goldschlager
1/2 oz amaretto

And a bit of lemonade (its up to you how much you want in this thing)

Shaken (not stirred lol) with ice and serve in a martini glass with a twist of lemon...

Are Friends Coming Over??.... Two Words... Beef Tostadas!!!!

It's the weekend and it's summer time... finally lol,

I always gravitate towards Latin and Caribbean food during the summer months.  Not just because of the vibrant colours, but also because of the flavour combinations.  So here is a quick dish to serve if you are having friends over this weekend...  AND it's easy on the pocket!

Serves 4-6 peeps

12 tortillas

1 lb of chopped chuck steak (it's cheap with lots of flavour!)

4 limes (juiced)

1 medium sized onion

1 red pepper (diced)

1 jalapeno finely chopped (use gloves or avoid touching the ribs and seeds... ouch)

3 Tbl of chopped cilantro (or parsley for those that don't like cilantro)

3 Tsp of black olives

Spread out the tortillas to dry.  In a bowl, mix up the steak with the lime juice and refrigerate for at least 2hrs (or overnight is best if you feel like that is your thing lol).  Drain when times up and mix in remaining ingredients.  Toast or Fry (thumbs up for frying!) until golden and crispy.  In a medium pan, saute up the beef and stir occasionally for about 8 mins or so.  Serve Beef on top of that Crisp tortillas and you're ready to go...

If you wanna go the extra mile, I suggest you serve this with some Tomatoes, Shredded Green Cabbage, Olives, Cheese and/or Tabasco... YA BABY!!!! 

Cheers

The Bachelor Chef

What's shaking everyone?

As a newly single guy living in a cosmopolitan part of town, I have found it difficult to cook for myself or for two (even as a chef executing parties in the hundreds).   It’s challenging because there are tons of shops and restaurants in the area.  I end up going out and spending way too much money on restaurants and take out and it’s hard on a single income.

I have chatted with countless single dudes out there that tell me that they are interested in cooking for themselves but don’t know where to start.  So this is for all the fellas out there that want to cook like Gordon Ramsey but look like George Clooney while doing it.
