Here is a look at the dinner I cooked for my husband and I today. The complete meal was spaghetti squash with spicy marinara sauce and spicy steak.
This was my first time cooking a steak. I've always had a problem handling raw meat so this was a big step for me. I have to say it was very good!
I put a rub on the steak that had a nice spicy kick to it. This is a recipe I will totally do again.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons onion salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
The above rub should accommodate 6 (6 ounce steaks).
As a side dish we had spaghetti squash with a marinara sauce. I just used Traditional Ragu sauce and added chopped garlic, minced onion and pepper flakes. This sauce was a really nice compliment to the spicy steak.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the steak! Looks delicious. My favorite protein is probably raw or smoked salmon. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I could choose! I have too many favorites. ALL poultry, but nut butters are delicious as well and tofu and meatballs and fish - ah! Too hard a question :)
ReplyDeleteI cooked my first steak this week too :) I was so excited! your looks great. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteDoes peanut butter count as a protein? It should! It's my favorite, for sure.
I think I would have to go with fish/shrimp. But tomorrow it might be a different answer :)
ReplyDeletei lovee that spicy rub! spicy stuff rules my life.
ReplyDeletelove your dessert too
fav protein source-grilled chicken or salmon!
