Father's Day Meal for Trent

So I thought I would prepare a meal that all men should love, Steak and Potatoes, lol. Good idea too, becuase Trent loved it!! Here's what I did......

I made Sirloin Steak with Rosemary Roasted Potatoes and Garlic Roasted Asparagus Spears.

I cut some Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch pieces and boiled them for about 5 mins. I then put them in a casserole dish with Olive Oil, Onions, Rosemary, Garlic Salt, Onion Powder, and Pepper. I baked them for about 40 mins.

For the Asparagus, I simply seasoned with Olive Oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper, and roasted for 10 mins.

The steak was easy as well. Simply pat the steaks dry with a paper towel then season with whatever you have. Heat a skillet to medium high heat. Add olive oil and cook steaks on each side for about 5 mins to reach medium well temp. This is the most important tip of all. When you take the steak out of the pan LET IT REST. Meaning, do NOT touch it, cut it, poke it or anything!! Let it rest on the cutting board, loosely covered with foil for about 5-10 mins. This will help the meat stay moist and redistribute the juices.

All in all  this was a pretty easy meal to cook and does not take a lot of effort.

P.S. I start my new schedule at work and I'm super excited about it!!! :) AND I go home to Memphis in 5 days for my Baby Showers!!!! Yay!!!!
