Today I made a yummy steak dinner for the family. We had some reduced price steak which had sat in the freezer for about 6 months and decided last night that today would be the day to use it. So I cooked it up with steamed cabbage, mashed potato and olive oil fried tomatoes, red peppers and onions. It was lightly seasoned with black pepper, garlic and salt. The gravy was homemade from scratch, using the drippings from the meat as well as the water the vegetables were cooked in - it was delicious.
My family agreed with me on this, except for one crucial, American detail. This pure, undefiled, totally homemade and delicious meal needed one final ingredient to form a more perfect dining experience. Actually it needed two - according to my sweetheart and her offspring. Tomato Ketchup and Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce. YEAH, cause this is AMERICA baby, and without High Fructose Corn Syrup, it ain't happening!
So I sat and ate my steak the English way, with gravy.
