I really need to take a photography class or something as I just seem to struggle with the photo’s of food that are not sweet treats. I realize now, much too late of course that I should have made haricots vert to help snazz up the picture but, we were in the mood for corn on the cob last night. I found this recipe in a weight watchers magazine and I altered it just a little bit. I don’t know about you but I think that a nice juicy ribeye has way more flavor than a bland ol’ strip steak….. but that is just how I see it.
I didn’t really know what to expect when I was making this, would it taste good, would it be just a boring steak, I was pleasantly surprised on so many fronts! Not only it did it taste good it tasted AMAZING! I never knew that beer could be reduced to such a tasty sauce. Yes you read that right I wrote, BEER. I used Guinness Dark Lager. I do not drink beer. I do not like it. It taste funny and it makes my husband obnoxious! I do however enjoy cooking with it! And let me just say that I really want to have this meal again over and over and over! I can not remember the last time that I put something this savory and tasty in my mouth!
This is really Steak House quality food! I was so amazed at how good this was! I am not a big red meat eater so when I do eat it I want it to be spectacular!
