My boyfriend and I went to the store with a plan. We wanted steak, pasta, pesto sauce, and a salad. So we headed for the meat section in the back. We grabbed a couple of really nice looking New York steaks. Then we headed for the pasta aisle and decided on some fettuccini noodles and a basil pesto sauce. Finally, we grabbed a caesar salad and headed for the check out!
I decided to use some roasted garlic salt, pepper, and ground oregano to season the steaks. I started boiling the water for the noodles and started adding the seasoning to the steaks. My boyfriend went to preheat the grill, but I stopped him. I was determined to cook these steaks myself! I went and turned on the grill and let it preheat for awhile. |
I took the steaks off the grill after 13 minutes (one minute extra to be sure!) and then drained my noodles. I put the noodles back into the pan and tossed them with the basil pesto sauce. It smelled delicious! I tossed the salad in a big bowl and then got the table set with all of the delicious food!
Now for the moment of truth. I watched as my boyfriend cut into his steak, fearing that it would be still completely rare or way too over done. IT WAS PERFECT!!!!! I was so excited! I cooked steak perfectly on my first try! The seasoning was a little strong but I was so happy that I was able to get it to the right level of done. |
I am really liking being able to cook for my boyfriend instead of us just running to a fast food place and grabbing something quick. It gives us more time to hang out, talk, and have a little fun! I can't wait until next weeks recipe!
