Hello All - We know it's been a long time since we last blogged. Charlie and I have been on 2 business trips to Omaha and each were 3 weeks. This blog post is dedicated to the great food we ate while in Omaha.
One of the most memorable meals was at Fleming's Steakhouse. We enjoyed some good drinks and had a fantastic experience.
I ordered the Prime Rib Dinner. This meal included a Caesar salad, large slice of medium rare Prime Rib with 3 sauces (horseradish cream sauce, au jus and a honey mustard sauce), a side of sauteed green beans with a mushroom sauce and creme brulee for dessert. I started with the Caesar salad with anchovies. Now, anchovies aren't as gross as people make them out to be, they gave a great subtle salty flavor. The combination of the freshly shaved Parmesan cheese with the creamy dressing was delectable.
The prime rib was 'melt in your mouth' tasty, seasoned to perfection. The variation of of sauces gave a different experience to each bite; horseradish cream sauce had fantastic bite while being soft and creamy, au jus gave an extra intense meaty flavor to each bite and finally the honey mustard sauce made the meat tangy and sweet.
We ate the creme brulee without taking pictures first...they topped the hot, crunchy, sugary topping with mixed berries and a side of fresh whipped cream. It was cold and creamy in the center and made with vanilla bean.
Charlie had a roasted Veal Chop. His meal included a Veal Chop cooked to medium with a Bearnaise sauce and a side of sweet carrots. The veal was juicy, tender and very flavorful; with a small dip into the Bearnaise, this dish was succulent. The carrots were cooked in what I could only imagine is a great heap of butter with a good spoonful of brown sugar, YUMMY!
Hope you all enjoyed reading about our great experience at Fleming's. We will be posting one of our food blogs soon.
