Steak, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and fresh peas
Michael's night to cook. (Things are all messed up because of the emergency pizza substitution on Sunday). While he still needs to work a little on presentation (what's up with the two piles of peas?), he's definitely mastered the steak dinner. Michael dry-aged the porterhouse in the refrigerator for 3 days following the Alton Brown method, pan seared it and finished it in the oven. We had one porterhouse steak split between the two of us. Deliciousness!
He made the mashed potatoes using the Cook's Illustrated Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes recipe, which is my go-to for mashed potatoes. The mushrooms were a mixture of white mushrooms (left over from last night's salad) and some fancy kind Michael found at the grocery store. (I'm sure he'll tell me the name when he sees this.) We bought the peas at the farmer's market on Saturday. I didn't think I liked peas until I tried these. Quite tasty. All in all, an excellent dinner!
