Made this with a baked potato a couple of weeks ago. Turned out well. Did use a cast iron skillet and subbed raw honey for the sugar at about 1/2 tsp and turned out great. 1/2 the sauce recipe section if cooking for 1 steak.
The amount of sauce for a single steak is a bit overkill. Could probably quarter the amount and it would likely be more than plenty. With the current recipe it will leave with a lot of leftover sauce regardless of drizzle or dipping. Used Hot Ones™️ brand hot sauce (Los Calientes Rojo) and it felt like it wasn't enough with just a few dashes (short pours) and needed more garlic even with 2 cloves minced.
I first tried this Yard House Tomato Bisque on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and I was immediately captivated by its comforting aroma. The sautéed mirepoix onions, carrots, and celery creates a depth of flavor that transforms the humble tomato into a luxurious, savory base.
i included the optional sugar, but otherwise basically followed the directions. the first time i make anything, i tend to stick to the recipe pretty strictly, to get a baseline, and understand the creator's intent. in a future take on this, i'm curious to see what dropping the extra sugar and adding fresh pineapple or something similar would be like, along with perhaps some water chestnuts. but, we enjoyed this quite a lot.
