Herb Crusted Beef

Mix all the herbs you prefer (parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, garlic), pat the herbs on the beef.

In an ovenproof skillet  sear the meat for about 5 minutes until it turns brown on all sides.

Put the skillet in the oven and let the beef roast. Be patient and let it rest for 10 minutes after it is done before slicing it.

Naturally, I chose to eat it with potatoes fried in duck fat. I promise I will be more creative with my side dishes, but this is soooo gooood.

Vita in crusta de ierburi

Amestecati condimentele pe care doriti sa le utilizati (patrunjel, rozmarin, cimbru, sare, piper, usturoi) si inveliti vita in amestec. Intr-o tigaie care poate fi folosita si in cuptor caliti putin carnea pentru 5 minute pana cand isi schimba culoarea pe toate partile. Puneti apoi tigaia in cuptor pana este gata. Fiti rabdatori si lasati-o sa se odihneasca 10 minute dupa ce este gata inainte de a felia-o. Bineinteles, eu am ales sa o servesc cu cartofi prajiti in grasime de rata. Promit sa de acum voi fi mai creativ cu garnitura, dar este pur si simplu, fooooarte bun.

Comfort Food- Baked Potatoes with Bacon and Spinach

In the colder days i love to wash some potatoes and then just put them in the oven. The house smells really cozy and there are so many ways to serve them. You cut them in half and the possibilities are endless. I usually enjoy them with a simple yoghurt sauce ar some smoked salmon, but yesterday i was (like most days) in a bacon mood. 

The spinach was added so i wouldn't feel so guilty about the fried bacon.  Angel or devil? On top i grated some cheese .

Cartofi copti cu bacon si spanac

In zilele mai reci imi place sa spal cativa cartofi si sa ii arunc in cuptor. Casa miroase foarte bine si sunt multe feluri in care ii poti servi mai departe. Il taiem cand sunt gata in jumatati si posibilitatile sunt nelimitate. In general, imi place sa ii mananc su un sos simplu de iaurt sau cu somon afumat, dar ieri am avut pofta de bacon.

Spanacul a fost adaugat mai mult ca sa nu ma simt vinovat pentru baconul prajit. Inger sau demon? Deasupra am ras niste branza.

Enjoy,

Fish Fillet with Roasted Veggies

The fish is simply cooked in a pan sprayed with oil.

The vegetables are amazing, especially the carrots. So, season them, put them  in a tray and in the oven they go.

File de peste cu Legume la cuptor

Pestele este simplu gatit intr-o tigaie  cu foarte putin ulei.

Legumele la cuptor sunt foarte bune, mai ales morcovii, care devin foarte dulci. Trebuie doar sa asesonezi legumele (usturoi, morcovi, cartofi) si intr-o tava cu hartie de copt stau la cuptor pana sunt gata.

Weekend Meal - Beef Steak

This weekend we spoiled ourselves with some beef steak, served with the best potatoes: fried  in duck fat.

If you haven't tried it until now, you should, it is delicious. Duck fat was originally used in Europe to make French fries before industrial seed oils came along.

Masa de weekend – Friptura de vita

In acest weekend ne-am rasfatat cu o friptura  de vita cu cartofi prajiti in untura de rata. Daca nu ati incercat pana acum, ar trebui, neaparat, sunt deliciosi asa cartofii. De fapt, grasimea de rata se folosea initial in Europa pentru french cries, inainte sa apara uleiurile fabricate la nivel industrial.

Enjoy! xoxo
