Best darn meal we've made this summer

Adam & I haven't eaten steak in about eight months. Snoreway's prices had a bit to do with that, but we also hate getting lower quality meat. So we've been saving our appetites & pennies for a good quality home-made steak meal.

After a trip to the Atwater Market, our new hook-up to local (and a few not-so-local) farmers goods, bags filled with filet mignon, a knob of ginger, a lime and a healthy-looking bok choy, we put our brains together in the kitchen (and got a little help from Jamie Oliver.)

Our own harvest: Balconville grows some seriously hot peppers!
This recipe called for one, finely chopped. 

1 bundle of bok choy

The juice of one lime (in my awesome inherited 50's style "Juice King")

One thumb-sized nub of ginger, grated. Also, half a clove of garlic, grated.

Duh. The meat. The recipe called for sirloin, but we used filet mignon. Salt & pepper for seasoning, then drop into very hot pan with oil. Sear on each side & cook according to taste. 

8 tablespoons of soy sauce. We used about 6 in the end. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for two minutes. Then add the soy sauce, ginger, garlic, peppers and lime juice. Steam bok choy in salted water and plate up!

Dinner on the balcony!
