was on sale at the grocery today. I got it to room temperature and brushed it with extra virgin olive oil (Greek), cut garlic and coarse pepper and cooked it on a ridged grill pan in the house. After the first side was seared it was salted with kosher salt. Ditto the final side when done, then rested out of the oven 5-7 minutes and served with fresh corn on the cob with a sage butter, and baked beans I made last night and re-heated.
Steak was medium rare, tending to rare, and was tender and succulent. It was a tasty summer dinner.
Otherwise I ran errands and tried to exchange our car (a rental as we’re looking to buy and Jim’s been working downtown for four years so I have the car) from a Chevy HHR – yuck as seats are stained and it’s been smoked in and remote is broken) and all they had was a large pickup or minivan. No thanks.
I agree with Susan on minivans. I’m not ready for one. They put a new battery in the remote. With pouring-down rain at least twice a day I’m not going to chance drycleaning or groceries in the back of a pickup.
Tomorrow I’m looking for some new ideas as even I get in a culinary rut. Then again, if I run out of time doing other things, Jim loves spaghetti and meatballs. Favorite meal of all time.
Tomorrow is serious clean-out-the-frig day. Among other things. Thanks for sticking with the blog! Dee
