Hephaestus Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Ever since the kids moved out, whenever we make steak we make one for both of us. I actually got the idea from a trip to Tuscany. At select restaurants such as Latini, they cut and grill the steaks in house. The thickness of the steak is based on the number of guests. They then presented it sliced with a little a bit of olive oil on top. Delicious. Here is our take on this: We start with a 2" ribeye, rubbed with olive oil seasoned with salt and pepper and coated with fresh herbs from the garden. (I say it but I can hardly believe it that its mid November in Montreal and still have herbs from our garden. Plated with grilled poblano pepper and oven roasted sweet potato. pic1 pic2 pic3 pic4 Edited November 14, 2016 by Hephaestus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cschaaf Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yum! I tried to convince my wife to go the 'one big steak for the two of us' route and she wasn't going for it last time we had steaks. Maybe I'll take her to Tuscany to prove my point. That'll show her! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuley Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Sometimes when i do steaks like this with oliveoil on top i also give it a little squirt of lemon. I read about it somewhere and it is surprisingly good.Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 Winter has arrived here on a speeding freight train called Argos. Steady 25 -30 mph winds, with gust upwards of 45 mph. Temperature is supposed to drop over 20 degrees by morning. Out first hard freeze of the season. Low tonight of 29F. High tomorrow won't break 40F. The only good news is that the snow is staying north of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
