A Sweet Gesture

So Tuesday was again a VERY busy day for me at work. One of those days that by the end you don't want to think or do anything so thankfully Keith took the reins on dinner again. This time he recreated the meal we had on our first date (yes we actually cooked together on our first date). It's really a simple meal but one that you feel guilty if you have left overs so I obviously ate the whole thing as I posted on Instagram. Now if you saw that picture know that I have big hands, piano type fingers, that are just about as big as my face.

For the meal we love so dearly all you need is:
Steak (you decide how fancy)
Potato
Greenbeans
Corn
Sea Salt
Pepper
Worcestershire Sauce
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
and baked potato toppings, I go with sour cream and bacon pieces.

First you start with the baked potato. After using a fork to poke holes all over the potato rub down with extra virgin olive oil and over with sea salt. You then want to place them directly on the rack in the oven for 60 minutes at 350. We also recommend placing a sheet of aluminum foil on the rack below to catch any dripping olive oil.

For the Steak we chose an organic grass fed tenderloin. You really don't want to take anything away from that quality of steak so they were only seasoned with salt, pepper and drizzled with Worcestershire sauce. To cook them we threw them on the grill, for the most part. Keith takes grilling very seriously (we were even given a fancy grill from his parents as a house warming present) so you can imagine the mini melt down he had when we ran out of gas half way through. It was almost as good of a meltdown as I had with the pizza balls. Once he came back to reality he pan seared them to finish the cooking time and they came out perfect.

All you then have to do is prepare your sides and plate them. Keith was fancy and added minced garlic and grated parmesan to the green beans.

(I did not mean to have that many bacon bits, they just came rushing out)
