Burke Devlin's Steak Dinner for Two



One of the highlights of episode #34 was when Burke Devlin invited Victoria Winters to his suite at the Collinsport Inn and ordered two steak dinners, two salads and two cups of coffee from room service.  When they arrived they looked great and whenever I watch this episode I feel hungry for the same thing so I decided to prepare it for myself.  These are two very nice grass fed flat iron steaks that were pan seared quickly in an iron skillet and then placed in a hot oven for just several minutes.  I finished the steaks with a couple of tablespoons of butter and balsamic vinegar for an out of this world sauce.  The potatoes were oven roasted in olive oil.  I had a glass of a good red wine with this instead of the coffee.  Flat iron steaks, by the way, are superb.  They are the second most tender and flavorful cut of beef and there's no waste.  Try this for a great little dinner for two and perhaps indulge in Marie Wallace's classic chocolate mousse for dessert.  Some of the latest health news suggests that red wine and dark chocolate are good for us so I think this is a meal worth enjoying.  In the story I always thought it was too bad that Victoria didn't stay for dinner.  It would have been nice.
