A nice filet is almost 2" thick, you sear at high heat for 1 min a side & then on low heat for 5 min a side for a perfect med rare steak.Originally posted by wintonyk
How do you like your steaks? Mine take less than 7 min. Down to a science for a perfect med rare.
Micro the potato for 5 min then wrap and bbq for 2. Timing works out the same as steak.
And for anyone that calls for two much work. A girlfriend is way more work than cooking a meal. Suck it up. You would spend more time in car to and from restaurant than you would prep.
As for the baked potatoes, I'm assuming the kid doesn't want to put much effort into this, so 15 min in the microwave will do the job. I can assure you it will taste just fine with some butter & salt alone.
You can buy single sticks of butter. You can buy bacon from a butcher shop by weight.
You can buy sour cream at a deli buy weight.
