I’m not a huge red meat eater but my girls LOVE it. And the protein is really good for their growing bodies. I usually end up making one nice steak – Trevor eats 2/3’s of it and the girls eat the rest.
Tonight, I decided to make it with a yummy garlicy, buttery, oniony (aka, leek onions!) sauce. We had mashed potatoes and broccoli on the side and it was a true steak-house dinner at home.
This steak is super easy to make – it only takes 15 minutes (as long as your steak isn’t cold from the fridge!!) and it tastes great. Cleans up is obviously a breeze since it’s only one pan and everyone has a happy belly after eating it. It’s a winner of steak dinner!
