Good dinner tonight

Note to self: It doesn't matter how hot the pan is, or how good the sear: if you want the inside of a 1-1/2" thick piece of meat medium rare, you have to butterfly the damn thing. This is much easier to do before searing, and when done so avoids burned fingers. Alas, I skipped that opportunity.

Also, flounder cooked in white wine and olive oil is very nice.


p.s. Yeah, I usually finish my steaks in the oven, but there wasn't time. The flounder and veggies - broccoli, carrots, green and yellow squash, sauteed with butter, salt and pepper - cooked much much faster than I anticipated.
