    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.

    ?? You asked where to procure squeaky cheese curds if your local grocer doesn't carry them. They can be mail ordered from that page.

    Your search engine /IP may be better at finding places in your locale. I found a couple but these don't really look like the curds I'm used to seeing. 

  3. METLOF

    I've never made meat loaf before. I've never liked it. I've only experienced my mother's rendition, and I did not like that. Very dry. It's not a dish I would typically serve, but for what it is, I like what I did. Juicy and flavorful.

    I used this recipe for the meat:

    Many recipes I read said to top with ketchup or a ketchup-based glaze. I hate ketchup. I don't like vinegar, and I don't like sugar in any context of meat. So I looked up a ketchup recipe, and made my own, omitting vinegar and sugar ingredients. I used this recipe for the ketchup:
    https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/232397/homemade-ketchup/

    Here it is, fresh from the pan and seved on a plate.

    Overall I think I made a good meat loaf.
