Very much appreciate it. I actually got the idea for the gravy from a recipe that incorporated the chilis in adobo sauce right into the taters. I liked the idea but really didn't want pink mashed potatoes do decided to work it into the gravy...and it worked great!!
Thanks so much Chris. I actually cut those to have smaller steaks around if it was only going to be me eating but decided to go ahead and do two smaller ones for this meal instead of one large steak. Honestly don't have a clue why though
I just know that a thicker steak is much more forgiving.
I truly appreciate the kind words Matt. It was a pretty simple meal that just happened to come out well. As for the Chimayo pepper, you can get it from Amazon. That's what I did. Beware the knock-offs though. Make sure to get the real stuff...you won't be disappointed.
Thanks John!! You'd fit right in around here. We don't need no stinkin' knives or forks. Just tear into it and have a field day
So you've been toyankee2bbq for Sunday supper John. LOL
Hey now, y'all be nice to Justin (

) He can't help it if his insurance plan does not include dental. He does the best he can and sure has a great sense of humor about it
Thanks so much Al. I'm with you on the mashed taters and gravy. That's a food group in and of itself but that chipotle gravy was a chart topper!! Never imagined a gravy could bring that much life to a meal but it certainly did.
Very much appreciate it. A word of caution though. as great as the pepper worked with the steak, be gentle and don't overdo it. As noted, i got a little carried away with the spice mix and lost some of the beef flavor. Almost over powered it versus just enhancing it.
Thanks Jed!! That gravy was pretty much the star of the show. Truly an over-the-top adaptation of a comfort food staple.
Very much appreciate it Jeff. The sear did come out well and I love the additional textural component it adds to a steak, as well as a nice flavor
That Chimayo Pepper is legit and knowing you like to do a lot of meals along these lines, I highly recommend it.
Thank you Justin!!
Yes sir you do, and that's one reason we love having you here. Teach those young guys the proper way to conduct themselves at the supper table
Etiquette and of course proper dental hygiene
I very much appreciate it David. This meal was about as simple as it gets but we were happy with the results and I was a bit surprised with how it came out looking. Honestly, I had no intention of posting it till I pulled the pics off the phone. Came out much better than anticipated.
Thanks so much Brian. I have all the spice mix and rub recipes written down and saved. If there are any you'd like to have, just let me know. Most have been posted here but are gonna be buried in other threads. I do need to take some time and revamp a couple of them but that's easy stuff. Lemme know if I can help....
Thanks so much Tyler. I was happy with the way it all came together being that it was all laid out in advance and finished in a matter of about 5 minutes.
Thank you Jim. I appreciate it sir. I'm a gravy junkie from the outset but you add taters, I'm in Heaven!! I could easily eat taters and gravy pretty much every night.
