Anyone else cooking up a storm today?

I bought some steaks earlier this year. I took one out of the freezer to defrost yesterday. Today I'll cook it in the microwave.

If possible....

 

Salt it now, even if it's still frozen.

 

To cook it, put it in a hot pan on the stove top for 3-4 minutes a side (depending on how thick the steak is) for medium rare to medium. Much tastier and more reliable than microwave cooking.

I'm afraid to use the stove. I might fall and not be able to turn it off and burn down the building. I can set the microwave timer.

It might be worth investing in a little hot plate if the stove is difficult for you to use because of difficulty getting around. Even a one-burner hotplate will let you sear your steak or burgers while you cook some frozen veggies in the microwave.

I am allergic to wine so I would go with the beer

[bnm73]

I've a gluten-free IPA or a Jalapeño Saison (Belgain-style ale).

I really enjoy saisons I'm sure it is in the article but it's a belgian style farm ale.

You are right.

 

<<As a beer style, saison began as a pale ale brewed in the cooler, less active months in farmhouses in Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium, and stored for drinking in the summer months.>>

I am a huge beer guy love all types and saisons are some of my favorites. I used to like darker belgian ales too but as I have gotten older they also trigger headaches similar to wine

I wish I could. I don't really cook. I've lived here 27 years and have not used the stove.

I might have substituted jalapeño cornbread for the mashed potatoes but still a good menu.

I just got back from a weekend in the Bay Area.....seems like I caught a cold there. I'll heat up some left over Chinese food.

Chinese is always good. Their hot mustard clears the nostrils!

 

I've never known anyone including myself who likes the soups.

A nice steak cooked sous vide would be a real treat.

I'm scandalized. Who doesn't like wonton soup?
