After days of Cheerios and Eggs; this simple steak was fabulous!
I’m new to food blogging. Not new to cooking or putting recipes online, but it’s only since the first of this year that I decided to start using a blog. I’ve had a recipe website for friends and family online for over 10 years; most of those years at www.creative-culinary.com but that site was for my convenience as much as anything and one big difference between the two; photos!
Now, not a new dish gets made that doesn’t warrant a photo op; but you have to wonder…why steak and asparagus?
Since I started this journey, I’ve been limping along with an older digital camera. The pics were OK…but increasing bad and that sucker died a couple of weeks ago. I realized I wanted something a bit better suited for this new photography interest, so I spent a bit more and finally got a SLR camera yesterday.
While in the process of deciding what camera to get (and I made one choice that I returned) I have simply not cooked anything. I typically only prepare dishes for this blog once, maybe twice a week and then I’ve got leftovers for dinner for the week. Without a camera, I just did not want to bother, so I’ve eaten nothing but cereal and eggs and some simple pasta.
This is not a fancy dish, but I’ll tell you that after 3 weeks of that diet, it looked like heaven (and actually tasted really good!).
The steak was simple; salt, pepper, garlic salt and a sprinkling of a spice mixture from my favorite local spice shop which was a blend of Hickory Smoke Salt, Paprika, garlic, onion, pepper and oregano. I grill on high heat for about 4 minutes on each side; medium rare is my pleasure!
If you’ve never grilled asparagus, this has become my favorite way of preparation; I’ve posted this recipe separately and it’s quick and easy.
