Here we go...
Starting out with a succulent medium well cooked steak. I also have on my plate a heaping pile of mashed potatoes that mare made form cut up potatoes. Beside the potatoes are sautéed snapped green beans. These are hand snapped beans that are sautéed in olive oil.
When enjoying this dinner I find that there are different textures with every part of it. The steak that is broiled in it's own juices and season with garlic salt, has a wonderful taste that is a bit salty but it has a soft texture which will make your mouth water. The potatoes have a fluffy texture to them that only makes the buttery, garlic taste standout from it's natural bland flavor. The green beans are mysterious. You have a vegetable that is seen as being either crunchy or soft: not these beans. These sautéed beans are a wonderful hybrid of the two views of green beans. They are cooked in a hot olive oil to where the edges are seared yet not burned. As you bite into this vegetable the crunchy, succulent taste overwhelms me and I can't figure out why I never enjoyed my vegetables as a kid.
