Two-plate steak

We do not have to eat the same thing. Same table is enough.

Two steaks that did not match. Same table is enough.

Same pan, two plates. He took the smaller cut and extra greens without being asked.

About this much

Adjust until it feels right.

  • Two steaks — they do not have to match
  • Salt, early
  • Black pepper, crushed in the hand
  • A thick pat of butter
  • Something green on the side — even a handful

Play it

A suggestion, not a command.

  1. 01Salt the meat and let it sit while the pan gets honest-hot.
  2. 02One pan, two steaks. The smaller one comes off first.
  3. 03Butter in at the end. Tilt the pan. Spoon what you want onto what you want.
  4. 04Rest on the cutting board, not the plate.
  5. 05Eat before it gets polite.

    Two steaks that did not match. Same pan. That was the whole idea, finally named.

    Riff: Smaller steak off first. Butter only on one plate.
