stuff to put on the meat for an hour only to discover I was out.\u00a0 Panic ensued.\u00a0 How could I be out?!\u00a0 I&#8217;m never out!\u00a0 What is happening to me?!?!\u00a0 Silent scream.\u00a0 I had to think fast.\u00a0 The entire steak eating experience was in immediate peril!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7745\"

powder and liberally coated one side and topped all that with fine ground pepper.\u00a0 I let the steaks sit for an hour on the counter, broiled them, and served them with a big fat ceasar salad complete with anchovies.\u00a0 We ate it while we watched the season premiere of GoT.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7742\"

sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pan juices made an insane dip for the steaks.\u00a0 I&#8217;m definitely doing it again.\u00a0 You need to do it, too.\u00a0 We ate them so fast that we completely spaced getting pictures of the finished dishes.\u00a0 In fact, this might be my new favorite way to eat steaks.\u00a0 It had this beefy, very slightly sweet and salty heaven that I could not stop eating.\u00a0 It was perfect with the garlicky salad.\u00a0 Salad tip: replace the parmesan cheese in your ceasar with celery to cut fat and salt without cutting flavor.<\/p>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-7755\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"7755\" data-servings=\"0\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-classic\"><div
