<\/p>\nYes.\u00a0 It’s me.\u00a0 I haven’t written in a while. There’s no recipe to follow.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because I’m just not in the mood.\u00a0 That’s it.\u00a0 It’s been a year since the pandemic hit and during this time blogging about food\u00a0 has been the last thing on my mind.\u00a0 I’m still struggling with this because it makes me uncomfortable to be all ladeedah about posting about food while so many\u00a0 of my fellow Americans are struggling so badly.<\/p>\n
What’s been up with me since I blogged last?\u00a0 Well, Hubs and I are building a commercial kitchen.\u00a0 More\u00a0 on that later.\u00a0 I haven’t worn\u00a0 a bra in a year.\u00a0 Masks PLUS a bra?\u00a0 I say no.\u00a0 And I cut off all my hair.\u00a0 Ok, that was months ago.\u00a0 I’ve become even more socially awkward than I was going into this past year.\u00a0 I’ve definitely become less tolerant of other people’s bullshit.\u00a0 Rejoining society is definitely going to be…interesting.<\/p>\n
Which brings me to the steak from last night.\u00a0 Every day the conversation is the same.\u00a0 “What do you want for dinner?” one of us inevitably asks the other.\u00a0 It occured to me yesteday that we have not had a steak in many months.\u00a0 We decided to splurge.\u00a0 I put my order into Instacart and off we went.\u00a0 Yes, I ordered steaks from Costco off Instacart and it was totally fine.\u00a0 I’d had an emotional couple of days and I was in dire need of a treat that didn’t involve wine or chocolate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I marinated these monstrosities in brown juice.\u00a0 Pick your own and go for it.\u00a0 Hubs grilled them to perfection and I served them with quick cooking things….fingerlings roasted in duck fat and flash sauteed sugar snap peas mostly because I had too many of them lingering about.\u00a0 For those, it was just equal splashes of sesame and canola oils, some ginger puree, some crushed red chile pepper ( I used a Korean one), a scant spoonful of soy sauce, and some minced garlic at the end.\u00a0 Divine.\u00a0 Garnished the whole thing with some semi-dried chives and maldon salt flakes.<\/p>\n
Pro tip:\u00a0 Use the leftover duck fat from the potatoes to drizzle over the steak.\u00a0 You’re welcome.<\/p>\n
