Sorry, no pics, so it may not have happened.
I won $159.00 in the lotto Saturday, so. Did a 2 pound Tomahawk Rib steak Sunday. Zip lock bag, Montreal, evoo, and some key lime juice from my tree. Poked liberally with a fork and let marinate at room temp for about four hours. Placed in 200 degree oven for one and a half hours, it reached 123 degrees and still looked grey and was pretty squishy to the touch. Made some mushroom polenta and a green salad. Got the cast iron pan SMOKING hot and seared for about 45 seconds a side, let rest while I plated and then sliced.
DAMN! About an 1/8th inch layer of char/sear and the rest was a a beautiful rosy red rare-med. rare top to bottom. Uniform the whole way, tender, and friggin delicious.
BTW- first lotto tickets I had bought in about two years, maybe more. Hit three numbers and the power ball. One more would have been $50,000+! And two more, well, no one would have heard from me for quite some time! Oh well, daughter and I ate damn good Sunday!
