This just speaks to my carnivorous soul in a way no amount of boneless skinless chicken breast can. You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? Sigh.
If you add a spoonful of bright, happy chimmichurri and a glass of merlot, I’m a pretty happy girl.

Such a great char on this steak. Sometimes I just need a good steak too.
Ooh I know what you mean! Although I love eating vegetables and vegetarian food, there’s nothing like a good piece of steak! 😀
