Good for what ails ya!

I think I hit the Wall-of-Fun today...overtired and overwhelmed...

Some days just cry out for steak...and today's one of 'em...comfort food at its most basic...and man, I need comfort.

At 4p, I had NO idea what we'd have for dinner...the Bubbles hadn't materialized by then...So I surveyed the lads for what they'd like: Dill said baked beans.

The Bubbles started bursting around the beans: There's a flat iron steak in the freezer that I can do a la Korean BBQ ... and anything goes with baked beans, right? Yay! We have liftoff!

Details?
Here goes:

-Pop the steak in a zip top bag and add the following as you go to marinate the (1+ lb) steak for at least 20 mins: a third c soy sauce, 2 T rice wine vinegar, 1 T sesame oil, 1 and a half T dark brown sugar, 1 t chili garlic sauce, 1 T ground bean paste, a half t each ground black pepper and grated frozen ginger root.
-Cook to your liking, how you like - I used the (small) cast iron skillet - and slice on the bias.

This time, I made it into sandwiches on a baguette that I drizzled the cooked marinade onto and topped with the leftover broccoli slaw from a few nights ago...My darling Mixologist treated me to a LOVELY-OMG-I-NEEDED-THIS martini...and I think the sandwich got higher reviews than the beans.

Med-rare steak, carbs and a drink with a garnish...what's more comforting than that?
