Grilled Steak with Tokyo Negi and Oca Potatoes







We discovered Girl and Dug. They are located both near San Diego and in Oregon State. I can't overstate this: They have the best produce we have ever purchased. They don't have a store, but ship directly to you,  in refrigerated boxes, overnight. The foods arrive totally fresh. They also have unique vegetables. They have a Potato that is absolutely amazing: Oca Potatoes. These were the creamiest best potato we have ever eaten. They are very small but amazing. We will always order them in the future when they are available.

I also learned a great cooking technique. Tokyo Negi are like giant Green Onions. Lay them on a cutting board and place a chop stick on either side. Then slice down till the knife hits the chop stick. Repeat along the length of the Tokyo Negi. This prevents the vegetable from being cut in separate pieces, but rather creates a flexible vegetable that absorbs flavors at the cut and cooks easier. We served the Girl and Dug vegetables with a great grilled Steak.

Try Girl and Dug!
