Tasty Tuesday: Chef D's Columbus Cowboy Steak and Eggs


A couple of weeks ago, Dan and I enjoyed a meal at FARMbloomington Restaurant. We were so impressed that we asked Chef D to try out some of our New York Strip Steaks and create a recipe. He obliged with his version of steak and eggs. I can't wait to try it out. 

Columbus Cowboy Steak and Eggs

"Recently, I discovered a small family farm just down the road from where I grew up. Dan and Lynne of Fleming Family Beef came for dinner at FARMbloomington Restaurant and gifted me with some of their premium dry-aged Charolais New York Strip steaks. Once I saw this freezer beef with their natural quarter inch trim, I knew just what to make. I whipped up some Columbus Cowboy Steak and Eggs in honor of the wagon logo."

 

Chef D uses Fleming Family Beef in this Columbus Cowboy Steak and Eggs recipe.
