🍽️ Recipe of Titans

• T-Bone Steak: 1 large, grass-fed, bone-in cut (~16oz)
• Rub: Smoked paprika, black pepper, pink salt, garlic powder, thyme, crushed coriander, and a pinch of cocoa
• Red-Skinned Potatoes: 2 cups, cubed and roasted in avocado oil, rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest
• Pan Sauce: Beef drippings deglazed with bone broth, balsamic vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, and fresh parsley
• Optional Add-ons: Wilted greens (spinach or kale), grilled mushrooms, or a soft-cooked egg

🔥 Ritual Directions

Rub steak generously on all sides and let rest at room temp for 30 minutes. Sear in a cast iron skillet over high flame, 3–4 minutes per side, then finish in oven to your desired doneness (130°F for medium rare). Simultaneously, roast the potatoes in an oven at 425°F for 30–35 minutes until golden and crisp. Use the steak pan for deglazing, creating the luscious pan sauce. Plate heroically, drizzle with sauce, and stand tall.
