So, I had bought a couple large steaks (buy one get one free!!) and had stuck one in the freezer. I kept one out so that I could cook it soon. So, last night for supper, I got the steak out and seared it in olive oil. Then I added diced tomatoes, cubed zucchini, chopped onions, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, basil and oregano. I cooked it for 2-3 hours in a covered cast iron pan. When it was done, I removed the meat, and thickened the veggies/sauce with a little corn starch slurry (you could use flour instead of corn starch). I sliced the meat and served it on a bed of rice with the sauce on top- Yummy!!
I am definitely learning to be resourceful. Not only am I using what is in my pantry, but I'm learning new ways to make tough meat tender...
I am very excited as hunting season has just opened here. Hopefully I will be able to get my hunting license soon, and we will be able to have quail, pheasant, duck and goose! Can't wait to see what I can come up with for cooking game birds and waterfowl- stay tuned! :)
