Japanese Gyudon (Beef Bowl)
Simmered beef is served on top of steamed rice. It's one of the most popular rice bowl dishes (donburi) in Japan. Top with benishoga (pickled red ginger) if desired.
Cajun Ponchartrain Sauce
My take on the Ponchartrain sauce served at a popular seafood restaurant chain in my town. Although I prefer snapper, it may be ladled over any grilled, blackened, steamed, or pan fried fish. Very elegant and easy! Great idea for a romantic candlelight dinner for two.
