Christie and I had the absolute pleasure of talking with T. Jefferson Parker for Episode 7 of Corks and Conversation, just released last Friday. If you’ve listened to our C&C series, we always ask this question: If you could share a meal with one of your characters, who would it be and what would you have to eat?
T. Jefferson Parker had a GREAT answer. He’d dine with Mike Finnegan (a particularly evil character who first makes an appearance in Iron River – Book 3 in the Charlie Hood series). And to eat? A rare steak and Bombay Gin Martinis, straight up with a twist. Great, right?
I’m lucky to say I have a great steak chef in my house – he enjoys a Bombay martini, as well. Hey T. Jefferson! Next time you’re in the midwest, you might want to stop in!
If, however, you don’t have the benefit of a steak chef waiting to grill for you at home, might I suggest my other favorite chef? Ina Garten! Don’t we all have a crush on her?
She’s got several great steak recipes, but might I suggest trying her Grilled New York Strip Steak from Make It Ahead: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook? And maybe while enjoying your steak and martini, perhaps read T. Jefferson Parker’s Swift Vengeance, or you could pre-order The Last Good Guy, his new book coming out this August.
Other great steak recipes? Please share!
