Bloody Good Steak

Ok, so I'm new at the steak thing. I mean not new at eating it, or even grilling it, but when it comes to cooking steak inside my home, I'm so clueless.  Ok, so I fibbed a little there because I don't grill it either, my husband does that for me.  Either way, I don't really cook steaks but I saw these gorgeous flank steaks at the shop and just had to have them.  Not ideal cuts I know, but trust me.  I should have photographed them raw, because they were so lovely I just couldn't pass them up.  After looking through pinterest for a way to cook them, I came across this recipe for Bloody Good Steak. And it was quite good!

Bloody Good Steak


1 slab of flank steak
2 tbsp black peppercorns
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Balsamic Vinegar

Place peppercorns in a plastic bag and smash with a hammer until they are coarsely crushed. (Ok, I cheated here.  I have 3 settings on my pepper grinder and just set it on the biggest setting.)
Drizzle olive oil and salt on both sides of the steak and then rub with the peppercorns.
Heat a cast iron skillet until hot (not too hot or you have a lovely smoke filled house and multiple smoke detectors going off through out your entire two story home...)  Cook meat on both sides 3-4 minutes or so depending on size of meat. Meat should be well browned but still rare and soft to the touch when pressed.
Remove steak and drizzle liberally on both sides with vinegar.  Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

We put up our outside decorations last night for fall and Halloween. It's looks so cute out there. Right now I am:::: Sitting at the counter trying to quickly type up this post and eat my breakfast.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil. Once hot and melted together add the onions and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Long Time, No Talk

 Hey!! It’s been so long since I’ve come on here with anything other than recipes. Sadly, I haven’t been cooking much lately, so I don’t have any new recipes at the moment, but I have been super busy. It’s Nutcracker season in our house. It’s Christmas time, school concert time, and we have a million birthdays happening now and soon, but the thing that’s taking up all of our time is Nutcracker Shenanigans. All three girls are in the show. This year, Scottie is a sunflower. Rylie is a party child, a strawberry, and the understudy for both Clara and Fritz. Sydney is a snow, a trooper, and a part time flower. Ben is also working tech for the show. He’s been helping set everything up, and during the show he’ll be working the light board. I’ve been volunteering by watching littles during the tech week rehearsals, and another mom and myself have taken on the responsibility of running the Nutcracker Tea Party fundraiser for the pre professional dance company. It’s been fun, exhausting, someti
