Ok so I love love love Ina Garten and her show Barefoot Contessa. Her recipes are simple but so yummy, lots of salt, pepper, olive oil and fresh high quality ingredients. Anytime I have people to cook for, I go straight to her cookbooks. The other day I was watching her make her "steakhouse" steak and I think i was drooling just watchin her make it. It was one of those times you wish you had smell-a-vision real bad. Her key component was the Cast iron pan she seared it in and then stuck the pan in the oven until they were just the way you like em. She claims that because the cast iron stays hot, it makes for a really even cook and keeps the juices in. So I have been searching in antique shops for the perfect cast iron pan and I found mine today for $14 bucks.
And I just cannot wait to make my honey a yummy steak in my new pan!
