Next Day Steak & Eggs with Garden Salsa

Last evening I went to the store for dinner. I didn't know what I was going to make. In the meat case they were having a sale, a filet mignon roast for 24 bucks. It seemed like enough for 10 or 12 steaks. Two bucks for a steak is a good deal. So I bought it, along with some salad stuff, plain yogurt, lemons and mini tangerines. 

When I got home I put 5 small russet potatoes in the oven and sliced off two steaks for dinner and one small one for the next day. I put the rest of the roast in the freezer. It's good to have something like that in the freezer because when the apocalypse comes, and everyone in the town is screaming and running up and down the streets, I'll be grilling steaks out in the back yard. 

Season the small steak with a rub of coriander, cumin, ancho chili powder, & salt and pepper. Put it in the fridge, along with the leftover baked potaoes. 

The next day you just start two pans, one for the leftover potatoes and a cast iron skillet for the steak. Chop a med onion and put half in each skillet with a tblsp of olive oil.

Let the onions cook for a minute. Slice the potato and cook it with the onions. Sear the steak in the cast iron pan on med high for about 5-7 minutes.

Chop garden tomato and cilantro, mix with a smashed garlic clove and dress with tangerine juice and red pepper flakes. Cook an egg or two any way you like. Yum!

Fresh Rainbow Salsa~  

This is a delicious home made salsa that we make a lot. It's quick to do in the food processor. This goes great with chips, over eggs or fish, and inside tacos or burritos.

In a food processor, combine 5 or 6 fresh tomatoes*,  1 clove fresh garlic, juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 tsp chili flakes, salt, pepper. Pulse. Once it's nice and salsa-y, add chopped fresh cilantro and pulse a couple times quickly. Pour in a bowl and garnish with a little olive oil. Yum! You could also do this chopping the ingredients by hand.

* Use the sweetest you can find. A can of whole peeled tomatoes also works in a pinch. Make sure to add a 1/4 tsp of sugar if your tomatoes  aren't so sweet. The sweet/hot combo is undeniable.
