Sometime you just need a steak and of course wine as well...

           I was getting off work, and was wondering what to cook. It then hit me---Steak. I stopped by the grocery store and picked up some porterhouses and potatoes. I drove how thinking how I was going to prepare them. It was getting late, so sous vide was out. I decided to grill them in butter with salt and pepper.  I grilled my steak medium rare, and medium for the rest of my family. Logan takes great pleasure in eating meat from the bone. For the potatoes,  I put bacon in the pan, and peeled and sliced them 1/8 of an inch. I waited until the bacon was crisp, and added the potatoes, sliced onions, fresh rosemary, sage and crumbled bacon. I let them cook for 16 minutes, and added garlic. I also cooked a side dish of peas. The steak was tender, but I have to say I have been spoiled with the sous vide. The potatoes were great--nice tender, with smoky flavor.

The wine that was served was a Karma, 2006, Cabernet Sauvignon. It smooth, leather taste, with hints of raspberry. It matched great. Dinner was great---sometimes a steak just hits the spot.
