THE VAMPIRE COCKTAIL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium glass bowl, combine the cinnamon whiskey and red cinnamon candies. Set aside for 30-60 minutes. Strain the cinnamon candy solids from the whiskey and discard.
• In a small bowl, combine the corn syrup and red gel food coloring and mix well.
• Scoop about ½-1 teaspoon of the red corn syrup onto the edge of a spoon. Carefully work the spoon around the rim of a glass, allowing some of the syrup to drip down the outside of the glass.
• Carefully sprinkle the red sanding sugar over the corn syrup for a sparkling effect.
• Add 1 cup (150 g) of ice to a cocktail shaker. Pour in 3 tbsp of the infused whiskey and the orange juice and shake to combine.
• Add the remaining cup of ice to the glass. Strain the cocktail over the ice and top with the ginger ale.

VAMPIRE TACOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Combine steak and all marinade ingredients in a large plastic storage bag or bowl. Toss to coat. Marinade at least 1 hour or up to 24.
• Remove meat from marinade, discard.
• Heat a grill, grill pan or large saute pan to high heat. Cook to desired doneness. Allow the meat to rest at least 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
• To prepare the sauce, combine mayo, chipotles, lime juice and salt. Stir to combine.
• Heat a saute pan to medium heat.
• Place one corn tortilla in the pan, sprinkle about ¼ cup (25 G) cheddar cheese on top. Cover with a second corn tortilla. Cook just until the cheese is melted, flipping once. The tortillas should be soft and pliable, not crispy.
• To assemble the tacos, top the corn tortillas with a spoonful of guacamole.
• Add few slices of steak, then top with pico de gallo, cotija cheese and some of the sauce. Garnish with cilantro if desired.
• Enjoy!

VAMPIRE STEAKS WITH GARLIC RED WINE REDUCTION

Steps:

• I make my red wine reduction ahead of time. It takes about an hour, or slightly more to get a beautiful thick sauce. I highly recommend using a cast iron pan. I find the reduction never works correctly in a saucepan. You want a wide, shallow pan to make this kind of sauce. Plan ahead so the sauce is done before you cook the steaks.
• Also make sure to note the instructions for the steak. I marinate mine over night, or a minimum of 4 hours before cooking so make sure you're factoring these things into the timing of your meal prep.
• Dice your onions, or slice thin strips if you prefer.
• Place a large cast iron pan or skillet on your stovetop, and turn heat to medium high. Pour olive oil in the pan. Place onions in pan and allow to cook until they start to turn golden brown.
• Add the garlic and continue to cook for about 1 minute, no more than 2 minutes.
• Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for a few more minutes. You want the vinegar to essentially cook off and the mixture to become syrup like in texture.
• Add the wine and cook until it reduces by 2/3. This takes away, so don't feel like you have to rush this step. Just keep checking it until it starts to cook down.
• Add the beef stock to the pan, and bring to a boil. Allow it to come to a full boil, then reduce to a simmer, allow it to cook until it's reduced by 2/3. Again, don't rush it. Check on it and wait for it to fully reduce. It's not a super quick process.
• If you don't want pieces of garlic you can remove them but I like to leave them in. The flavour is amazing when you bite into it.
• Add butter to the pan and turn heat up a little bit. Whisk until the mixture thickens into a nice consistency. It should be thick but still able to drizzle over steaks. Set aside until needed.
• Lay flank steak on a cutting board.
• In a bowl mix the minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt and pepper together.
• Rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the flank steak.
• Put the flank steak in a container and cover tightly. Place in fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
• Take the flank steak out. Discard any juices.
• Preheat your grill to a medium high heat. Allow it to reach the proper temperature, just like preheating an oven.
• Place the steak bottom side down first. Close the grill lid and allow to cook for about 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how you like your steak. If you like it rare flip it sooner, if you like it well done flip it later.
• Lift the grill lid and flip the steak over so the top side is down on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and allow to cook for about 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how you like your steak. If you like it rare flip it sooner, if you like it well done flip it later.
• Remove the steak from the grill and allow to rest on a cutting board for about 5 to 10 minutes.
• Slice the steak into diagonal thin strips, pour red wine reduction over top.
• Pour a nice glass of Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon to go with your dinner.
• Enjoy with a big old vampire loving smile!
