Well it seemed like a good idea at the time...
The victims of the grinding were a 11 oz. chunck of well marbled flat iron steak and an equal amount of locally made Chorizo.
Since the Chorizo is already ground I peeled it, froze it, and ground it again along with the beef.
Some of the other characters were my Fire Roasted Tomatoes, a red onion, and a poblano pepper.
Roasted the Poblano of course.
Then I cooked the onion and the pepper in some butter. Not for too long as I wanted to keep some definition to the veggies.
Removed them from the pan and fried the meat mix in the juices left behind.
Tried not to over brown the meat.
Then I stirred in the veg mix and the tomatoes. Reduced that till most of the liquid was gone and added 1/2 cup of VS Cognac and reduced again.
Of course I had to toast my buttered Kaiser roll.
And we have Chorizo sloppy Joes.
I love the flavor and the acidity that the Cognac brings to the party.
This is a must do again sorta MSU project. Which means next time it will be following a recipe? Nope. Forget it.
Anyway, as always, thanks for checking out my cooking.
