Last night I was craving red meat. I hardly eat it at all, so when I crave it, I take that as a sign from my body that I need some iron and protein in juicy meat form. Jake and Rex were coming for dinner, and I had to find a recipe that these two picky eaters could enjoy. They both love steak, so when I found this simple, quick recipe on Epicurious I knew it would be a hit. The recipe was for two, so I just added one more piece of steak, and a tiny bit more shallot and butter, everything else was fine proportionally. It only took twenty minutes to make! The Epi recipe calls for brown sugar in the balsamic reduction, but the shallots caramelized beautifully without it and I'd rather not add sugar to my food if I can help it. Needless to say we all thoroughly enjoyed the meal, which was enhanced with a full bodied red from Jake and some Époisses de Bourgogne cheese and baguette from Rex. Mmmmm.

We are on the same page with this one, majorly. I have so been craving meat recently too. Case in point; I bought peppered salami from the supermarket on Monday and finished Danny's cheeseburger tonight. RAWR.
Three words. Maple. Glazed. Bacon.
