We used a cast iron skillet to pan sear the sirloin. After heating the skillet in the oven at 500 degrees Matt moved it to the stove top and added some olive oil. When cooking like this the steaks retain so much flavor that only a little bit of salt and pepper are necessary for seasoning. Sear each side of the steak for about 30 seconds and then put it in the oven. Cook on each side for about 3 minutes. The thicker the cut the longer you would want to cook on each side and of course you want to take into account your preference of how you like your steak cooked, rare through well done. If the steaks are thin you can always leave them on the stove top without putting them into the oven.
Matt sliced the brussel sprouts in half and then tossed them with a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. He then spread them out on a baking sheet. We baked them for 30 minutes at 350. We chose smaller brussel sprouts so if yours are larger you will want to cook a bit longer. Surprisingly they were very good. Even Griffen, who turned his nose up at them initially, really like the brussel sprouts!
Quinoa is a healthy side dish that is quick and easy to prepare....just follow the directions on the bag. I usually throw in a chicken bullion cube to give it a little bit of flavor.
Where did we find the ingredients?
Sirloin - Silvana Meats, Silvana
Brussel Sprouts - Nash's Organic Produce, Clallam ( Purchased at the U District Farmers Market)
Quinoa - Costco - This isn't necessarily a local item. However it is Organic. Not all items can be local so when possible we try to use other Organic items.
