I like Friday Nights

So the Sunflower Grocer had New York strip on sales for $4.99.  So I had to get a couple of them.  I only used one for dinner and made a great side to go with it.  I also made some bread that came out perfect.  That only took 10 minutes.

The side was a salad with potatoes, corn, tomato, feta and fresh basil.  The dressing was Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar , red onion, olive oil and S&P.  All whipped up in a blender.

It was pretty much a perfect dinner.
1 Hour about $10 with the steak.
