October 23, 2012 Grilled Steak with Pesto coated dumplings and grilled asparagus.
 
Tonight Suzette wanted grilled steak and we needed to use some slightly up old portabella mushrooms and asparagus stalks.   So I went to the garden and picked a couple of sprigs of parsley, thyme and tarragon and sliced up about a pound of mushrooms and minced the herbs.  Then we stemmed the asparagus stalks and Suzette brushed the boneless rib eye steak and asparagus with olive oil and dusted the steak with salt and pepper put the asparagus and steak on the grill while I sautéed the mushroom and herbs in butter and olive oil.   After a few minutes I added about 1 ½ Tbsp of Amontillado sherry to the mushrooms and let them cook for a few more minutes.

When the steak and asparagus were cooked, I sliced up the steak and we dished up and drank PPI Round Pond Cabernet Sauvignon and had a lively conversation with Willy.   

The asparagus were particularly lovely with a combination of olive oil and cooking juices sloshing around them.

Bon Appètit
