I apologize. I promise, though I've been absent from the blog-o-sphere for awhile, I have not been out of the kitchen. In fact, anything but! I have actually been oh-so-busy by my oven, cooking, baking and yes, keeping it all fresh.
Between a crazy job, and life, I just haven't had a free moment to sit down and share with you what I've been creating. My apologies.
Aside from sharing recipes, the other thing I haven't done lately is respond to readers! Geesh, I'm terrible. So, since I've neglected you all for awhile, I thought I'd get to some of the questions first--then, back on the blog-track.
A friend of mine recently asked "what do you suggest for steak?" Good question, dearest. Despite my love of flavor, I'm actually quite a food purest when it comes to steak. My theory: buy the best cut of steak you can afford and let the meat speak for itself. We prefer a filet in our house, and while we rarely buy, when we do, we splurge. Go big, or go home, ya know? Let the meat rest on the counter for about 30 minutes prior to baking/grilling/whatever, then season liberally with salt and pepper. Make certain the grill is HOT, because the first lay-down of the meat should sear it. Let it sit on one side for 3-4 minutes, until a good crust forms, then flip. Whatever you do, DO NOT CUT INTO IT to check it's doneness. I promise you, that's a terrible mistake. Get out the thermometer, check the temperature and go by that. Once the meat is cooked, let it rest another 5 minutes before serving.
So there you have it, one question down. 20 more to go, literally.
I'm back on track though, so stay tuned. Much excitement to come, friends!
