I sometimes just have a strong desire for steak. I’m not sure what’s up with that, or even why that is, but it’s true: I love steak. We discussed having Pizza tonight, but we didn’t. We took Layla on her walk, and then set off to the store for some much wanted hunk-a-beef. Mindful that we are on something of a tight budget for the next couple of months (we have several weddings to go to, and Stacie is in one of them; and, we both just bought computers this month 
), we were careful about what we chose.
I’m not even sure which cut I chose, I just know it was about 6 oz of meat for each cut and the cut was red with not alot of fat but for a strip on the outside. We picked out two lovely potatoes to steam, and I picked up a box of kosher salt (I had run out and we walked by the display). Getting home, I unwrapped the lovelies from their package and set to work seasoning and setting. I opted for a gentle dusting of said kosher salt, a liberal crack of pepper, and a shake or more of onion powder and garlic powder, each.
I like my steak between medium and medium rare, and these were about 1/2 inch thick. That means I cooked these for about 4 minutes on each side, bringing the temperature inside to between 135 and 145 degrees when I took them off the heat (remember, meat will rise 5-10 degrees when it’s resting before you serve it). Coupled with the delicious potatoes, this was a superb meal. Would have been okay health-wise, too, if I didn’t add butter, sour cream, and cheese to my potato But, it sure was good!
One day, soon, I’ll find batteries for my camera. I really need to make that a priority, don’t you think?
