The BEST Steak in the World

Last night mom and I decided we wanted steak. The best kind of steak, surprisingly, comes from the bargain bin at the grocery store. The steak marked down 40% is online marked down because it's next to expiration and on top of this has lost the added coloring luster. Store in the U.S. often add colorants to make the meat appear redder and "bloodier" but a brown steak is typical in France and has the best flavor due to aging.

SO!

The following is my personal recipe for the steak:

1 16 oz rib eye steak, aged 5-6 days (meaning you either buy it fresh and let it set in plastic for 5 days or buy it from the "bargain bin" at the store and it's ready to go!)
2-3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
salt, pepper (be generous)
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
3 slices smoked bacon
1 iron skillet (with grill marks if possible)

Then the sides, which I prepare at the same time:
2 medium baking potatoes
Butter
Condensed milk
Vegetable broth (1 cup worth)
2 sheets tin foil, appropriately sized with potatoes
2 1/2 tablespoons salt for each potato
Greens (for this recipe I used spinach and tomatoes)
Dressing (for this I used a balsamic spray)

Do the following 2 hours before cooking:

Step 1: Dry steak then add the seasonings on each side in the following order:
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne pepper (1/4 tablespoon)

Step 2: Place seasoned steak in plastic bag and put 1 1/2 tablespoons of the sauce on each side.

Step 3: Place bag of steak in refrigerator...

Next Steps..

Potatoes:

1. Rinse potatoes thoroughly and roll in the salt afterwards placing in the tin foil.



2. Place potatoes in oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour.




Salad:
1. Take spinach out of bag and cut tomato into slices onto plate.

Cooking the Steak
1. Cook three slices of bacon in skillet (in photo I used 4, too many)

2. Remove bacon, cook steak in same skillet on high, 3 minutes, flip and turn, 3 minutes, flip and turn, 2 minutes flip and turn, 2 minutes flip and turn...

3. Remove tin foil from potatoes, place back in oven.

4. Place steak in oven on the broiler for 5 minutes, during this time massage potatoes, and cut down the center add one pat of butter and 2 tablespoons of the condensed milk, salt and pepper.

5. Add 1/2 cup vegetable broth to leftover remnants in the skillet, reduce for 5-10 minutes. Add more liquid if necessary.

5. Remove steak from oven, place on plate with potato and spray the vinaigrette on salad. Pour sauce on potatoes and steak.

I like to plate with roughly chopped green onions and homemade rosemary bread.. yum!!!

You'll see it's the most amazing steak. Ever.

SERVE WITH RED!

Bon Appetit!
