Friday Recipe

While I'm off pursuing economic fulfillment this afternoon, I thought I'd leave you with a little dish I prepared last night. Its healthy, simple and packed with flavor. Most importantly it makes leftover stuff, elegant and tasty. I used the left over rib eye steak from daughter pursuit #2's birthday dinner earlier in the week, but any cut will do.
