Comfort Food Medley

Who doesn’t love a fat juicy steak?  In the comfort of our home, relaxing and eating really good food is one of the pleasures of life; and that evening the pleasure was all ours.

We started with a traditional wedge salad; and for sides, we roasted tomatoes, potatoes and portabellas. We wilted fresh spinach in a wee bit of garlic butter and prepared to cook the 2 inch strip we had chosen. We seasoned it with a lot of S&P and seared it on all sides. Covered the top with a ton of fresh garlic and put it in the broiler till it was medium rare. Sound good?  When just done we removed the steak from the broiler and  let it rest for five minutes so that the meat could contract and trap all those delicious juices.
