Man Is What He Eats – Friday Night Steak

I love steak.  There, I said it.  Anyone who reads this blog will instantly realize that I am far from a vegetarian, or any of the sub-sets of vegetarian.  That’s just who I am.  But, my love of steak is often thwarted by my love of keeping money in my wallet. That, and I haven’t perfected grilling steak – last time I did, the $30 of ribeye I bought turned out tough, dry and overcooked.

But I recently watch the Good Eats special where Alton shows how to cook steak in the oven with a cast iron skillet. My cast iron skillet just picked up a new trick to add to it’s already impressive repertoire.

Jannett made some fantastic asparagus with some Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, oil and breadcrumbs.  Combined with a baked potato, this was a very hearty meal.  And the best part?  I bought the steaks on clearance from Meijer.  $3 and some change for two half pound steaks – Amazing!
