Well, I made this dish tonight and Mr. Awesome said he liked it so I knew I had to share it with everyone. This doesn't make it onto our menu plan very often but I have fixed to repeat a little more often. It does run a little bit on the more expensive side so it still won't make it as often as he would probably like.

Ohhhhhh… sometimes I hate our internet… I had already written this cute little post with pictures and everything only to have our internet glitch and lose EVERYTHING!

He has made some really great steaks on the grill but I really don’t grill that much anymore either so I wasn’t interested in trying that method.

After a little trial and error and a few burnt steaks, I’ve finally come up with an almost foolproof method that works for me. Now I do use my cast iron skillet for this so I don’t know how well this will work if you use something other than cast iron. These usually turn our about medium-rare so you may need to adjust the cooking times for your preferred level of doneness too.
