Beef! It's what's for dinner!
 

Oh yes.

D asked what I wanted for dinner, and having taken possession of 91
lbs of grass-fed beef yesterday I said... you got it! Beef. So she
got a T-bone out of the deep freeze this afternoon.

This is what I did: I liberally peppered the steak, salted it, too.
Then I seared it in an oiled pan and set it aside to rest. I added
about 2 tblspoons of diced onion to the pan and sauteed it till it got
some color, then I added some sliced mushrooms and got them mostly
cooked. Next I added a glass of red wine (a California cab) and
brought that to a boil. To that I added some homemade demiglace and
some thyme and salt and pepper. I finished it with a teaspoon of
Dijon mustard. As that reduced, I carved the very rare meat into
strips which I tossed into the sauce to complete the cooking.

Sides were turnip greens with caramelized onions and tasso, and an
acorn squash casserole with chipotles and yogurt.

Did you get your inspiration from Steak Diane? It sounds delicious.

Hope you get it back alive. :-)

In the meantime, you could get a cheapy backup?

My A-340 is not an expensive camera, but it's adequate to the task.

I'll get a more complex one some day when I work up the nerve!
