I view food and cooking as passion filled inspiration, so in the kitchen the other day I went with my instincts. I started with a steak sirloin marinated with some light extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt and coarse black pepper. I set that aside and started my steamed white rice. Then placed the marinated steak in a hot grill pan to seal the juices, grilling it on each side for 4-5 minutes. While that was going, I started a Demi glacé, with some shaved fresh Ginger and minimal Ginger powder, soy sauce and toasted sesame for added flavor. Letting that simmer I finished off the steak and did a quick saute of mixed broccoli, carrots, sugar snap peas and celery, sliced the steal diagonally.
Finished plating with the sauce drizzled and ladled onto the plate. Creativeness is a staple in today's kitchen. I stand by it and always will. It's got to be passion from the heart to the fork! Take care and stay tuned for more dishes to enhance your foodie!
