Steaks, fillet / sirloin / rib-eye.
Strip leaves of thyme from the stalks, wrap the steaks in cling film with the leaves covering both sides of the steak.
pound with your fist / a heavy frying pan / a book, until about 1cm thick. Unwrap, remove the thyme leaves, season and rub with olive oil then squeeze the juice of a lemon over them and rub it in.
Place on a hot pan for a minute on each side. leave to settle for a minute on a plate, then put onto the serving plates(should be warm) and pour the juice over them.
Serve with baby potatoes and garlic butter and maybe some aspargus or shallots.
All-purpose ridiculously simple (but very impressive to girlfriends) dinner:
Four or five roma tomatoes
two cloves of garlic
200g bacon
slightly less than one teaspoon of crushed red pepper
salt
black pepper
olive oil
rosemary
chop the bacon very finely
chop the tomatoes into small cubes
fry the bacon in a non-stick pan, when the bacon is well-cooked, add the tomatoes, a tablespoon or so of olive oil, and a teaspoon or so of salt
let the tomatoes cook, stirring occasionally
when the tomatoes have started changing color, add the crushed red pepper, garlic, and black pepper and rosemary to taste
when the tomatoes are no longer discrete cubes, but something more like a sauce, it's ready
serve with angel hair (Barilla, always Barilla -- and DeCecco if Barilla is not available) and freshly grated romano, and a nice dry red wine
This is cheap, quick, simple, and all but guaranteed to get you laid.
