How was your weekend? Mine was ok. Sadly Tapas night was postponed, so the hubby and I decided to make dinner instead of ordering out. We picked up a few sirloin filets. Have you ever had? They are much like Filet Mignon, but not as expensive. They are also just as tender. I grilled them on the stove top griller, but once I took them off to "set", I added a pat of butter and let it melt all over the filet. I forgot pictures, but trust me when I tell you you MUST do this if you are grilling a nice piece of beef! YUM - Delish!
For Slow cooker Sunday, I threw a flank steak in the SC (it was beef weekend), seasoned it with fresh cilantro, a little bit of beef broth, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cooked it on high for about 5 hours, then low for the last 2. YUM! It was so good. I served them with low carb soft tortillas, avocados, tomatoes, shredded sharp cheddar cheese and lettuce - all the fixings. I also made a simple saffron rice as a side dish. Simple and filling. I decided for V day that I would do something sweet for the table. So I got out the Wedding china and linen napkins! The girls loved it, and I gotta say I am going to make sure that I do this more often. Setting the table just added a little flare to the meal.

Simple but fun setting!
