STEK
I've been reading about and vaguely wanting to try cooking steak for a while. Never had a reason 'til now but I had ideas. So I made steak 3 ways. And potatoes 2 ways and 1 side of asparagus to accompany them.
Mise en place! Seasoned, room temperature steak!
I used eye of round. It's one of the cheapest cuts of full steak.
Reduced red wine sauce, and cubed potatoes
Full plate with three ways, and including the second potato (toasted mashed)
The third one finished last and I cut it too soon, but the others kept the juice in. Overall I think I can cook steak now.
Sage, garlic, and mushroom in everything (except the asparagus and third steak), thyme in the butter and potatoes. There were also mushrooms in the sauces.
1: pan cooked in red wine. 2. pan cooked in butter. 3. oven cooked briefly at 500°, with more time turned off but still in the residual heat. Glasses: bourbon old fashioned, more red wine.
