Tonight I made a special dinner.
Steak. I bought a thicker cut than usual. I seasoned both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Then I put them in a hot pan, no oil or anything, just the steaks on the pan. I left them for 4 min on one side before i flipped it, then 4 min on the other side then I took them off the heat and put them on a plate. They came out PERFECT! not only a great texture but perfectly seasoned! In fact i was supposed to brush with olive oil then season it but i forgot that step. and they still came out perfect. so delicious. I always have bad luck cooking steaks in the pan. they always come out all rubbery. but this time they were perfect.
Spinach. I bought a pack of baby spinach. I sometimes use it for salads. I put some olive oil in a pan, crushed some garlic and added it to the oil. Then when the garlic was starting to carmelize i took it out of the oil. this way you get the garlic taste without the actual garlic. thank god because the stuff makes me bloat so much. so then i put the spinach in, and just let it get nice and wet. then added salt and pepper. mixed it all together. just enough to let it get wilted. i didn't want it to turn to mush. it came out really yummy. and as you can see its a nice bright green.
the sweet potato fries. wow now this was something special. i found these ALEXIA julienne fries at the store.
They take all the work out of it. And I swear they were in the oven and it smelled like mcdonalds fries. they were good. i sprinkled some cinnamon and sugar on them.
And here is the beautiful result.
oh my gosh! it looks yuuummmyyyy!!! que rico. and those sweet potatoes look like the real thing! good job prima. i will try that next time.
