If you’re a fan of oysters and a fan of steak, here’s a clever little idea you probably hadn’t thought of: The Carpetbagger Steak. The concept is quite simple and hails from Australia (it’s genealogy is in dispute I guess), simply slice a pocket into your steak, stuff it with oysters, then close with a toothpick and grill to desired doneness. The toothpick is there to prevent the oysters from trying to escape!
I have yet to try it but I’m an adventurous guy so perhaps it’ll make an appearance the next time I fire up the grill. I’ll have to take Neil’s advice and put a little Worcestershire on the oysters, we’ll see how it goes!
Carpet bag steak has been around for about a hundred years ,but i think people have forgotten about it with all the new stuff around. I certainly will never forget about it. Yum yum yum.
I just spotted the bit about Austalia, where do Australians get their oysters I wonder? Could it be from NZ,they are separate countries you know. They still try to stesl the limelight for pavlova!
