Well per the last post, I marinated steak for the first time ever and I am pleased to report that it was a success! The steak was a Rib Eye and the marinade included garlic, red wine, rosemary and salt & pepper. To cook, we heated up the broiler, put some foil on a baking sheet because I thought I didn’t have a broiler pan, and then stuck in the broiler for a while.
Side note – I had assumed that the thing in my broiler was the bottom of the broiler, that is, the thing you put the baking sheets on. Turns out I DO have a broiling pan and that the it’s not just the bottom of the broiler (to quote the BF “Um, K, this thing here, that’s the broiling pan. So you do have one.” Me, “ohhhh!!!! I thought that was just the bottom of the broiler” – don’t you feel confident taking cooking recipes/tips from me?)
We broiled the steak for about 5-7 minutes a side. During that time, I made some baked potatoes in the microwave cos they’re super easy and I put together a salad with mixed greens, various veggies and a homemade balsalmic vinagrette. The boyfriend put the leftover marinade in a small saucepan, heated it on low with some additional horseradish and a dash of this and that, to make a sauce/reduction thingie to put on the steak. Clearly, I’m not the expert here.
All in all, it was a succesful, filling, tasty and pretty simple meal. And now I know I have a broiler pan!

Hey, at one time I thought the broiler pan was also part of the oven so no shame there, homes. Anyway, sounds yummy. Part of Melissa Visiting San Fran menu (someday)?
