Following a hard run yesterday, I was faced with going to the grocery store and figuring out what I wanted to eat for dinner (my companion was away). Solution? A MAN meal.

Picked up a pair of nice steaks ($8), a small white onion ($.75), three fingerling potatoes ($.75), and the rest I had at home.

Ingredients
1/2 stick of butter (unsalted)
1 small white onion
1 steak (I figure mine was ~10oz)
Salt
Pepper

Steps
1. Slice onions in to rings
2. Melt butter in pan over medium heat
3. Add onions to butter, cook until translucent, but still firm
4. Remove onions, place on the side
5. Decrease heat to medium-low
6. Toss in steak
7. Apply salt and pepper (to taste) to one side of steak
8. Flip steak after side has browned most of the way up
9. Apply salt and pepper (to taste) to this side
10. Cook until it looks done and then some (will brown a bit)
11. Place steak on plate
12. Place onions on top of steak, apply salt and pepper (to taste) on onions

I also cooked up some fingering potatoes, added some salt and pepper to them and bathed them in the natural juices that came off the steak. I also added some broccoli for some greenery.

Cost: ~$5.50/serving

9.4/10 – Simple, fast, cheap, delicious
