30 minute meals

With the possible exception of a bowl of grape nuts, not many meals take longer to eat, than to prepare. I truly am in favor of slow food, and look for meals that take longer to savour than to prepare.  This is one of my favorites, no special sauces.

On your mark get set GO!

Remove skirt steak from packaging and liberally season with salt and pepper.

Turn on grill to hot or grilling pan on stove.

Place a sweet potato in the microwave on high for 5 minutes.

Slice a head of Romaine lettuce in half (longitudinally), season top with salt/pepper, garlic salt...olive oil, whatever

When the microwave dings, take potato out (it will be hot)

Put steak and romaine on grill.

Slice Potato into think slices (1 inch), put in a saute pan with some butter, on medium heat.

Flip steaks, and romaine and potatoes...

Serve when done.

Stop! pour a glass of wine and savour all the flavors for a few minutes longer than it took to cook.
