Simple Seisin-ing for a Simple Dre

Today Mom went down to L.A., so I was left fending for myself. It was a productive day -- I outlined Crim, Crim Pro, and Torts and did a bunch of property MBE questions -- so I decided a treat was in order. Bride Wars arrived from Netflix today, so I had entertainment down. For food, special naturally means a grilled steak. Fortunately, I had one on hand, so I just needed to sort out the rest of the menu.

I tend to have a tough time getting myself to eat veggies, particularly salad. Fortunately, I am also a simple guy who can be tricked easily. So, I tossed together a quick salad with balsamic vinaigrette and took it outside along with a leftover ear of corn, the steak, and the four little things you need to grill the perfect steak: salt, pepper, olive oil, and tin foil. The salt and pepper are all the seasoning you need. And the olive oil helps to sear the steak and grill the corn.

Follow the 4x2 rule -- cook the steak for 4 minutes on the the first side and 2 minutes on the other -- and Barefoot's magic rule -- let the steak rest for ten minutes under tin foil after grilling -- and you'll have a juicy medium-rare steak with perfect sear marks. I sliced up the steak, cut the grilled corn from the cob, and layered them with a little A1 on top of the salad. Delish!

(If you're not on a low-carb diet, you can also add a couple slices of toast so you actually get full.)
