Jeffs Ranch Sauce Food

123 ASIAN DRESSING

Steps:

• Mix together the peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, sriracha, lime zest and juice and some hot water in a small bowl until the dressing reaches the desired consistency, adding a bit more hot water or lime juice to thin it out if it's too thick. If you want it more spicy, add some more sriracha.
• Serve over red leaf and romaine lettuce with mandarin oranges and crispy wonton noodles.

BBQ'D CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• For the BBQ rub: Whisk together turbinado sugar, salt, granulated sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, onion powder, cayenne, cumin and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the cauliflower: Heat a grill for cooking over high heat and line a baking sheet with a large doubled piece of heavy-duty foil.
• Place cauliflower on prepared baking sheet. Coat entire head of cauliflower in butter using a pastry brush, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of the BBQ rub on the entire surface, including the bottom. Roll the edges of the foil up to create a rim around the cauliflower, then tent with more foil. Place baking sheet on grill and cook, covered, for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the foil lid and cook, covered, until just tender, another 25 minutes. Brush on BBQ sauce and continue to cook, covered, until nicely glazed, about 5 minutes. Cut up and serve with homemade ranch dressing, for dipping.
• Mix the mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic, dill, honey and mustard in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

JEFF'S ORIGINAL CHICAGO-STYLE CHEESESTEAKS WITH TAYLOR STREET SAUCE

Steps:

• For the Taylor Street cheese sauce: Set a medium saucepan on low heat. Add the evaporated milk, Dijon and hot sauce and whisk together until uniform and smooth. Toss the grated cheeses, Gorgonzola and cornstarch together in a bowl until totally coated. Whisk the cheese into the saucepan and heat, stirring constantly, until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is silky and smooth, about 5 minutes.
• For the cheesesteaks: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush the sub rolls all over the outside and inside with the oil and set them on a sheet pan. Bake until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the oil and the meat in a nice even layer. Season with the garlic salt. Now, don't move the meat. Let it get a nice crispy crust, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, flip the mound of meat to give the top of the pile some heat exposure. Top with a few ladles of the cheese sauce. Mix it around a bit until the succulent cheese and the crispy meaty bits all marry into one homogenous nebulous mass, then take off the heat immediately to preserve all that juiciness! Divide the meat among the rolls, stuffing each roll to the brim. Top with additional cheese sauce, some sliced roasted red peppers and crispy fried onions. Serve with some BBQ chips, a cheesesteak bib and about 6 cold light beers.
