February is here. Super Bowl is tonight. Valentines is 12 short days away. Pampered Chef is all about duos this month. Hosting a cooking or catalog show is so easy. I bring the groceries. You invite your friends and family. I cook and I clean up. You get free product. Plus, you can choose from one of these amazing host specials!

Below is a simple dinner that I prepared last night for a dinner guest. We were literally out of the kitchen in 20 minutes, at the table eating. This meal demonstrates some of my favorite tools. The grill pan. If it is too dark, too cold, too hot or if you are out of propane, bring the grilling inside!!

New York Strip Steaks with Vegis

4 New York strip steaks 3/4 inch thick

2 TB kosher salt
2 tsp garlic and peppercorn rub ( pampered chef)

Sprinkle half of the seasoning on each side of the steaks. Using the meat tenderizer, pound the seasoning into each side.

Heat up the grill pan with the press on medium high heat. Using the oil spritzer, coat the pan with olive oil.

When the pan is heated, you will know that it is hot enough when you hover your hand about 4 inches from the pan and can feel the heat.

Place the steaks in the grill pan. Cover with the press.  Cook for about 4 minutes. Then flip the steaks cook and additional two minutes. Turn the heat off.

Meanwhile, heat up a non stick skillet. Melt 1/2 stick butter

1 small onion spiraled
1 zucchini spiraled
1 yellow squash spiraled
5 cloves garlic pressed

Sauté the Vegis until al dente.

Serve dinner. Simple and delicious!!
