Steak and Stuff
Ok, so it’s not exotic. This is more a post so my mom doesn’t worry that I’m eating like a bachelor. Ramen noodles, greasy pizza, twinkies and ice cream.
Ingredients:
Hunk of meat – one
Weatherford Spice – several dashes (basically seasoning salt + garlic)
Mushrooms – two handfuls
Carrots – two
Onion – half a handful
Garlic – two cloves
Butter – sliver
Salt – dash
Meat:
1) Cook on BBQ until cooked.
2) Spice with spice.
Healthy Junk:
1) Wash all veggies to remove most dirt
2) Dice carrots and onion
3) Dice and smoosh garlic
4) Toss mushrooms, carrots, onion, garlic, butter, and salt into a small pan over medium heat
5) Stir to prevent burning and cook until onions turn clear
I should’ve started the veggies before the meat. I used a fairly thin steak so it cooked faster that the veggies. I started off just wanting mushrooms sauteed in garlic butter to go with my steak but decided a wider range of non meat like substances would probably be better for me.
Steak is hard to screw up, and it came out decent. I take great pride in finding the best, cheapest, steaks I can when I go shopping. Sadly this package of steaks was not so strong on the best side. It was too thin and didn’t have enough marbling for my taste. I like my fat. It tastes good.
The veggie bit came out better than I expected. The carrots were perfectly cooked so they were soft without falling apart. There was a nice soft underflavor from the butter, but not enough to make it greasy and gross. All the flavors melded together nicely and nothing was too sharp. The color was a little bland and could have been brought out more with something vibrant like podded peas or red pepper.
