Does this plate look like a heart attack or what? I couldn't bring myself to cook a piece of liver. I mean who eats liver???? My Dad does. I'm still traumatized by the plates of liver and onion prepared in my mother's kitchen. I just couldn't do it.
So I got Husband a nice piece of steak. Well actually he got himself a nice piece of steak. And when he bought it he said to me "Don't make this in the fry pan. I hate steak cooked in the fry pan." To which I agreed verbally but didn't commit to mentally. I still had to think about it. I mean if Nigella says pan fry, shouldn't I pan fry?
Well, when push came to shove I figured the poor bugger should at least enjoy the steak if he's gotta eat it. I mean I'd hate for the cow to have been slaughtered and end up being a shitty meal. The least I could do for both Husband and the cow is make it a better meal. I mean for me, if I were to end up on some one's dinner plate I'd a least want them to have said I made a good meal. Not eat my thigh and then say plegh! that was gross. No, I'd want them to say "Gawd, that was delicious!". I mean if they're going to eat me either way. Obviously I'd rather not be eaten at all.
So I BBQ'd the steak but followed everything else as per Nigella's instructions. This looks like a heart attack to me and I'm going to tell you I don't see the difference between eating this meal and punch to the heart. But who am I to judge? Everyone strays from their healthy meals now and then. You do have to live after all. But if this dish appeals to you, for the sake of your own health don;t make this a regular. Everything is cooked in oil and bacon fat...I'm almost regretting feeding this to Husband at this point. Ah well, I did make him healthy salad to go with it. Maybe they'll balance each other out. (hopefully!)
