Quick steak

Curiously, for those of you keeping track, only the third non-vegetarian post of the new blog. Anyway, today I was mostly motivated by a rather large amount of hunger (having just run a few hours earlier two-thirds of a half marathon, as they say) and a relative paucity of ingredients.  So, a quick and easy recipe.

Start by pan-frying a cheap cut of steak in 1 T butter, about 3-4 minutes per side. While the first side is cooking, cover the other side with some pepper and grated horseradish, then flip. When the other side is done, keep warm in a 250-degree over, and deglaze the pan a la Hunter S . Thompson. Add an extra T of butter, and throw in 1 t tarragon, 1 small chopped onion, and 1 clove garlic. Saute until the onion is soft, throw it all into some basmati rice, take the steak out of the onion, and enjoy. Easy peasy.
