Yum, Steak.

At home we tend to eat a lot of steak and because of that I'm not a big fan of it. This dish, however, I could eat for daysss. My dad cooks the steak in a cast iron skillet for a few minutes on each side and then lets them finish cooking in the oven until they're perfect. The combination of stove and oven cooking produces all kinds of amazing juices that is later served over the steaks adding more flavor. For the asparagus he drizzles them with olive oil, throws some salt and pepper on them, sometimes grates fresh parmesan cheese on top, and then throws them in the oven for a little while. Broccoli is also really yummy prepared this way and sometimes we have half and half mix. For rice this time it looks like Mom may have cheated a little and made a box of Rice-a-Roni, but usually she makes white rice, or I think even leek rice, maybe. Though steak is a little more on the expensive side for college students, it is definitely worth the occasional splurge. REMEMBER: Always let your steak rest before cutting into it!
