    Food Challenge that I recently participated in

    I frequent another website that has a Food and Drink forum
    Each month they have a food challenge where 4 items are listed and must be used in the meal. Other food items can also be used to complete your dish

    this is strictly based on creativity, presentation, and where would you rank the dish on "eatablity" versus other entries. Since the forum members live all over the country, there is no way to taste each dish.

    there were 9 entries for February and mine was voted the winner. I'm guessing there were 50-60 ppl who voted . You have to include 6 pics describing what you did and the completed meal

    the 4 main ingredients were: ribeye, wasabi peas, fruit cocktail, and cucumber

    here is my copy/paste entry for ya'll to check out enjoy



    Box Ribeye Sushi

    ingredients: ribeye , cucumber, fruit cocktail, wasabi peas, cilantro, sesame seeds, Ponzu sauce, Tobiko fish roe , sushi rice, green onions, pickled ginger



    I puree'd the fruit cocktail , then dehydrated it to the consistency of a fruit rollup. The rollup was used as a layer for the box sushi. I placed the wasabi peas in a food processor which made a crunchy hot powder I used to dip the box sushi in.

    After making the sushi rice, I separated into 2 bowls and added tobiko roe, and the sesame seeds .
    I then used a box press to make the layers of rice, ribeye, fruit rollup, etc... topped with green onions and tobiko.

    I sliced the ribeye 1/8" thin and lightly seasoned with kosher salt, EVOO, and cracked black pepper. My goal was to make a ribeye "Carpaccio" that would be used in the sushi box.

    The cucumber salad was made by slicing the cucumber, and marinating for 24 hrs with ponzu sauce, chopped cilantro, pickled sushi ginger, and sesame seeds.

    This ribeye box sushi was incredible as the carpaccio melted in your mouth. The fruit rollup gave it a sweet flavor . Snacking on the cucumber between each piece of sushi cleansed your palate and was very light.

    FYI - carpaccio (often served as an appetizer ) is thinly sliced meat that is seasoned , chilled, and served raw

                        Shoot Blake, that wasn't even a real competition. Those hillbillies didn't stand a chance.
