Thread: Dinner at Frankie's

Friends and family have come to visit for a few days. Couple of farang fellas, their wives, kids, in-laws and dogs. After a night out with the families we (us white boys) headed out for some late night entertainment. 'Bout 4:00 AM we felt that empty feelin and headed for a place that sells these things called "Kebabs."
Now Being from the most powerful nation in the world, I'm used to "kebabs" bein' your basic meat and veggies on a stick. What ya'll call "kebabs" we call "gyros." These were real good, tasty with lots of that yoghurt sauce dribblin' down to your elbow. But they served 'em up on flour tortillas. Where I come from we get it on the middle-eqastern flat bread we call "pita." Funny name for a bread ain't it?
First thing to pop into my head is, "I could do a better one than this." So I did.
And it was.


What you're lookin at is some 280 Baht/kilo tenderloin marinatin' in a touch of vinegar (had this homer Simpson moment when I realized lemon juice would be better; Doh!), some olive oil fresh Oregano, thyme, Lot's of Garlic and a small spoon of Cumin.
To the right and slightly above that is the sauce. Now the sauce ain't got no yoghurt in it. In fact it's based on some of my dressing, you can get the recipe on this thread: https://teakdoor.com/the-captains-kit...-coleslaw.html I took about 2-3 tablspoons of the dressing and added: a generous spoon of horseradish, the jiuce of a half a very juicy lemon, (The other half? remember that H. S. Moment?) some more fresh oregano, a good sized scoop of cumin and about 1/2 as much sour cream This a quite tasty combination by the way, and I'll be slatherin' it on alot of things from now on.
Then there's some tommy-toes, lettuce, thin slices of onion and coupla pieces of flat "pita" bread.
Ok, This is gettin' boring, time for another photo


The meat I tossed, marinade and all, into a very hot pan with. The meat was par-frozen and sliced to random thickness between 4 - 1 mm; yep, damn-near paper thin.

I heated the flat bread in the oven for a couple of minutes over a drip pan with water in it to make it pliable.

Then I laid the foundation for a damn good sammich:

LOTSA SAUCE!!!


Dunno man, did I stuff the fucker too full?

The bread was kinda expensive, 53 baht for four pieces, what you saw here was enough for two good-sized sammiches.
The ale in the pic was one of the Coopers ales (sparkling), it seems to have gotten much better in the last few weeks, this batch has a nice tasty bit of sediment in the bottom and the flavor is much richer, This is good damn beer.
Now all this writing has made me hungry, think I'm gonna have to make me another one of the kebab/gyros...
