I recently discovered that steaks taste better with something pickled. I had some of the pickled vegetables leftover after we had steak and discovered that these pickled vegetables are even better on burgers..The combination of peppers…hot and sweet, carrots shallots and apple sort of POPS on beef. .One you try these pickled vegetables on a burger or a steak you will find out on what you were missing……Oh by the way….regular quality or frozen New York Strip Steaks get salt, peppered and Sous Vide at 130 degrees F for 3 hours and then you just sear them in a hot pan with oil for about a minute on each side and ends. They will taste like a quality steak if you treat them that way.

Ingredients for around 10 servings

4 Anaheim chili peppers (around 12 oz.) sliced up and remove core of seeds

1 carrot – peeled and sliced very thin on a mandolin

1 large apple – cut into thin smaller pieces

4 oz shallot – slice very thin on mandolin

1 serrano pepper – slice VERY THIN on mandolin – this will add a little heat but not a lot of heat – use 1/2 if you are a whimp. Day two not all but some of the heat goes away.

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

1 bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

2 Tablespoons sugar

2 Tablespoons kosher salt

Directions

Get a sauce pan on medium high heat with the vinegars, water, bay leaf, sugar and salt. Bring to boil. Reduce to simmer let it go a couple minutes.

The peppers, carrot, apple, dried oregano go in a container. (a tub or a jar)

Pour hot liquid into container with vegetables and let sit on counter till it cools down. Add lid and refrigerate when cooled down. Tomorrow these will be mighty tasty on something.

ENJOY!
