Butter Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Steak

I’ve always been a fan of a simple steak marinated with salt and pepper with a dollop of butter on top. The butter melts and the medium rare steak is perfectly barbecued. Then you add a slice of bacon around the outside of the steak. Oh my. Take from this what you wish. Everyone has their favorite way to enjoy their steak. This is just one of our favorite ways. We also love peppercorn sauce...

Double Cream

 
 
What is double cream you ask? Do you live in the U.S.? If so, no… they do not sell double cream. 

If you live somewhere like the U.K., then yes, you can find double cream. Double cream is used quite often in the U.K.

In the U.S., a close substitute would be heavy cream, or heavy whipping cream (both the same thing, just two different names)...

Biscochos

Biscosho has a meaning of “A handsome Latin person.” I tried these special cookies called Biscochos for the first time at our friend’s house in Anza. They had a package that they purchased from an Argentine market. 9 De oro Azucardos Bicochos is what the package read. I went home a couple days later and researched authentic recipes for these cookies because I had to make them...
