Simply Grilled ... with Goat Cheese

Every once in a while I like to take a step back and do something simple. When you are trying to cook more and more, it is easy to get lost in trying more difficult techniques or using more difficult to make ingredients. I made a simple grilled steak, roasted vegetables, and goat cheese. As a small challenge, I roasted garlic until it got soft enough to spread with a knife and put it on top of the steak with the cheese. It was fun. It tasted great. It was a great way to recharge my cooking batteries.

Ingredients (serves 2):

2/3 lb. Sirloin steak

8 Brussels sprouts

1 white onion

1 beefsteak tomato

1.5 oz. goat cheese

4 cloves garlic

1 tsp. olive oil

Sea salt & black pepper

1. Peel 4 cloves of garlic. Put into tin foil, season with salt, and drizzle with olive oil. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. 

2. Add the garlic to the oven and leave to cook for 30 minutes until the cloves soften.

3. Slice the tomato and onion horizontally and add to an oven pan. Trim the stems of the Brussels  sprouts and cut an X into the top going about halfway down. Add to the pan with the tomatoes and onion.

4. Season with salt, pepper, and olive oil and add to oven to cook alongside the garlice cloves.

5. Cut the steak into two individual pieces. Cook the steak in a pan to medium-rare or medium based on your preference.

6. Remove the garlic and veggies from the oven. 

7. Add the steak to a plate, top with a slice of goat cheese and garlic and accompany with the grilled vegetables.

8. Simply ... enjoy!
