Sirloin Tip Steak with Bordelaise Sauce on February 25
I have several Paula Wolfert cookbooks and love them. I haven’t had the opportunity to explore the most recent purchase: The Cooking of Southwest France as much as I would like. I had defrosted a sirloin tip steak, was looking for an inspiration, and found it with Paula. I pounded and pan-seared the steaks and served them with a white wine version of sauce bordelaise. I added sauteed shitake mushrooms, chopped fresh basil, parsley, and green onions to the sauce and served the steak with fingerling potatoes roasted in duck fat and spinach roasted in olive oil. We drank a bottle of Root 1 Cab 2006.

Who We Are
Sunburned and full!
My husband, Bruce, and I live on the beautiful Oregon Coast. We are passionate home cooks and make dinner from scratch almost every night of the week. We shop the farmer’s market, buy as much from local producers as we can, and support the organic, sustainable, and Slow Food movements. We believe that knowing where your food comes from, cooking from scratch, eating well, in season, and together at the table are all part of living healthy. You won’t find many foods from the middles aisles of the grocery store in our house!! This blog is an account of our home-cooked meals for the year 2008 (and now 2009). The way it works is I prepare the main entree’ (I usually don’t follow a recipe–I like to think of recipes as reference and use them to generate ideas) while Bruce usually makes a salad to match. We eat the salad after we eat the main entree’. We learned to eat that way when we visited Italy and prefer it now. We always have a bottle of wine with dinner, so we’ve documented it as well. We don’t go by what’s best with white or red, we just drink what we like. This project started in December 2007 when there were many discussions regarding the frequency in which favorite dishes were made. We determined that the best way to know how often we ate pasta with Bolognese sauce (or anything else) was to document it. We have been doing just that in a journal since January 1, 2008. I then decided that it would be better to put it on a blog; not for public attention, but for easier storage management and transferability of the data. If you happen to stumble across this blog and find it interesting, or would like to know how we made something, let me know–I am happy to share.
