Gerry's Choice Friday

Gerry decided on Flat Iron Steak with a Red Wine Sauce for dinner which is one of our favorite recipes. The steak was grilled just to medium rare and the sauce was made by sauteing onions in butter until tender and seasoned with salt. Garlic and oregano were added and cooked until fragrant. Tomato paste got stirred in and cooked for a bit before the red wine was whisked in and cooked down until thickened. We go back to this recipe often.

He roasted baby potatoes simply drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. He also sauteed mushrooms.

The new dish for the evening was roasted Parsnips which were superb. Some parsnips were peeled and cut into batons (looking a lot like french fries), drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. Some chicken broth was added to the roast pan and they were roasted for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile some softened butter was combined with horseradish, chopped flat leaf parsley, minced chives and minced garlic. The seasoned butter was stirred in to the roasted parsnips to combine and these were absolutely delicious! I know we'll be doing this recipe often.
