After watching the Macy’s fireworks from our rooftop, Josh made me a delicious meal of steak, roasted potatoes and arugula salad. For the steak, all he did was season it liberally with salt and pepper, and then placed it in the oven on the top rack, near the broiler. The steak accidentally caught on fire but fortunately it went out on its own before we had fireworks in our kitchen!
For the roasted potatoes, he added slices of onion and garlic, and seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary from our windowsill planter. Yum!
Arugula salad is super simple and a tasty complement to an otherwise rich meal. The peppery, slightly bitter baby arugula is dressed with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and topped with slivers of parmesan cheese cut from a wedge using a vegetable peeler.
A bottle of full bodied Spanish tempranillo red wine topped off the meal. What a wonderful evening!
