Peanut Butter Steak



It has happened. The deed is done.

Though I didn't use the computer program to craft this masterpiece, I still thought it was appropriate to share here.

Actually, this dish was the inspiration this entire blog. One day, Fluffy Donuts had the stunningly brilliant idea to combine two of America's favorite foodstuffs: steak and peanut butter.

The original had a few variations. One he baked, another he stuffed with peanut butter and deep-fried. Finally, he seared one with a blowtorch. Not daring to do anything too extravagant myself, I settled for the reliable sear-and-bake method.

I seared the steak on both sides on stupid-hot cast iron, smothered it with peanut butter mixed with a little cayenne and fish sauce, transferred to a nonstick pan and baked it to medium.

Despite its looks, it was actually quite delicious.
