Had a flank steak in the freezer and wanted to try something different then the norm – my own simple spices, garlic, butter, seared in wine and voila dinner is served. Except, tonight I wanted to step-it up a notch – in terms of spices and style of cooking – although as I read this recipe, I realize it is very similar to my usual. I am siding this dish with a leafy salad tossed with olive oil and lemon juice. Voila! for this nights dinner.

Off topic – I have been debating on selling my photographs – not sure yet, but its in the back of my mind. Don’t you ever get the urge to try something new?
