This is another one of those uh-oh-we-need-dinner-what-to-do kinds of things. I generally have a hanger steak or two around, in the freezer if not in the fridge, so in the Tuesday night scramble of the workweek, we often end up with that. And after eighty kazillion of them coated with a Southwest-ish dry rub, you can bet I was looking for something different.
And sometimes, something different is something simply classic. Like steak au poivre. Which just means "with pepper." And so: you need some pepper.
And you need some steak.
And if it's a Tuesday-night-style dinner your choices for vegetables are probably zucchini or a bag of frozen peas, so let's go with the zucchini.
Sear, saute, boom.
Yes, hurrying dinner doesn't always allow for precision lighting and photo evidence. But I assure you, it tasted pretty great.
It looks delicious! I guess my mom, who is really a good cook, would try other veggies to serve as a side dish with that. She always says that veggies are perfect partners for steaks. I must agree with her :D Have you tried using cucumbers rather than zucchini?
