I did my steak today – it was EASY! The only problem is that I cooked it 4min like he said on the show, and that was just too rare for me. Mostly my oven, I think – it was NOT medium rare. More like still moo-ing. But now I will know how long for next time. Right now I have cut up sweet potatoes and some cut up fennel in the pan in the oven, roughly following this recipe (I didn’t feel like going to the store for any other potatoes and I was too lazy to fix the fennel in a different pan, but I wanted to use the rest of it because I used about a third of a bulb for juice the other day and wanted to cook the rest), so we’ll see how that comes out!
Ooh… sounds fabulous! I love sweet potatoes. Let me know how it goes, and good luck with those pans!! Can’t wait to see them.

My muffin tins have quite a bit of rust on the bottom after being in a box for twelve years (I never used them after Ian died). The top part looks okay, though. Wish me luck scrubbing them down!
Cast iron MUFFIN PANS?!? I’m dying of lust over here. Will you send me a pic?? I wanna see! Yes, you can definitely do steak in cast iron — it’s really easy stuff to work with once you figure out the method.
