Firemonkey Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I was in the mood for something a little different than the standard grilled steaks I have been making. I still had a couple of tenderloin steaks in the fridge and the kids were asking for mashed potatoes and gravy. So I decided to make some pan seared (what some call Chicago style) steaks on the grill, and made the kids happy with the potatoes. All thats required is a very hot cast iron pan, and just a little oil to coat it. Once the pan is smoking hot, drop the steaks on, cook a few minutes to your desired degree of done, and flip - unless you like rare, then you may want to just char one side and close to cook. I deglazed the pan with a little cabernet and stock (used for making the gravy) after I pulled the steaks. This was a pretty good home-style meal, and is very quick and easy to make.

Conodo12 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hey FM - not to pry but does your wife cook? If so, does she turn out food that looks like yours?? You are on a roll!! Good lookin' pics these past several posts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 If my wife cooked like I do, would I be doing it myself ? Or maybe the fact that she doesnt cook is motivation to put up with me?? By my wifes own self assessment, her skills include some limited desert baking and things that come from a box or package. She can make a mean dish of mac and cheese with hot dogs, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
