Sorry if it seems like this has become a food blog--I'll post some fashion finds over the weekend!
Dinner last night was unexpectedly good, so I thought I'd share. The cucumber tomato salad comes from Elle's New England Kitchen (via Tastespotting). It tastes like a Greek deli (i.e. spot on), although I might use a finer dice. As for the steak, it was improvised from an old family recipe. I winged it, hence the loose instructions/quantities.
Soy Scallion Steak
Serves 4-5
Ingredients:
12 sirloin tipside steaks, sliced thin*
sesame oil
soy sauce (I use Kikkoman's, here's why)
one bunch scallions, sliced thin
Preparation:
Cover the bottom of an enameled cast iron pan with sesame oil, over high heat. When warm, add steaks, scallions, and soy sauce. Make sure the steaks do not overlap (I did it in batches). Cook steaks, flipping once, until brown on both sides. Continue simmering steaks & sauce until sauce has a gravy-like consistency. Serve with French or Cuban bread.
*These steaks are tiny--1/4 inch thick and no larger than my palm.
