One day in the kitchen

This is basically all I've got for a few more days...hopefully days. I didn't want to buy a bunch of groceries since I would only be here for a little bit of time, so I pulled out some steaks from the freezer and bought an onion and some mushrooms. Risotto and steak for dinner. DELICIOUS!

Remember the Date Balsam Creme Vinegar and the Lemon Infused Olive Oil from a few posts back? I marinated the filet mignon (yes, filet mignon) in the vinegar and olive oil most of the day today and it made the meat extra amazing. I don't have a grill or anything so I just seared it and then baked it at 450 for about 10 minutes. I like my steak medium-rare to medium and they turned out perfect. I really recommend experimenting with new flavors of vinegar and oils. I think I need to do more sampling at the Oil and Vinegar store. You should, too.

Also, I put up my little sign that says "dare to cook". It is in a temporary location since my life is in temporary mode. I am so ready to get back into a routine and have some kind of long term plan for a while.

Happy cooking, Y'all!
