As for the main meat based course, cut some pancetta(bacon) in slices, that's the stuff I'm talking about.
We'll use this instead of butter to cook the meat in, as the bacon grease gives a much better taste to the meat.
So after the bacon starts leaving out some grease, we add some garlic, rosemary, grounded black pepper and spread this around our grill.
Then we slam in the steak and let it brown on both sides, the inside has to be between pink and reddish according to taste, as long as you sourced your beef from your local trusted butcher and not some supermarket.
That's how it should look like after you're done with it.
You can obviously place the pieces of bacon and the garlic and rosemary on top of the steak when you serve it, for added taste and nicer look.
All looking good with the artichokes on the side to add some extra veggie goodness to our meal.
So as we say around here, buon appettito, tastes even better with a slice of some freshly baked bread, a cold lager and a hint of green jalapeno Tabasco I bought in the US to spice up the bacon a little.
It did indeed taste delicious, the meat was tender and tasty, cooked just right, I didn't put any seasonings on it, except for the garlic, rosemary and black pepper as I actually enjoy being able to taste the meat, especially if it's from a good cut.
The artichokes were amazing too, very tender and tasty.
