Every once in a while, I just need a juicy steak.
I had been thinking about going to a local steakhouse for a filet, but I always feel like I can’t count on them to make it healthy. So many steakhouses finish a steak with a pat of butter… and even with the best intentions, the veggies are often soaked in oil and butter as well. No No No!
My sister-in-law has shown me that you absolutely can make a restaurant quality steak at home. It’s important that you have a nice cut of meet and prepare it properly. This Greek-style steak was JUST what the doctor ordered. And, I used a little of the olive vinaigrette to top a tomato salad you see in the background. Craving satisfied, for sure!!!
