Got married three days ago and my wife requested the first meal I cook for her post-wedding to be steak. Got a two pack of Snake River Farms top sirloin steaks for a great price and some mac n cheese (the best side with steak, without a doubt).

Cook method:
Salted and left uncovered in the fridge for about 3 hours. Patted dry then covered in cracked peppercorn mix and left it out for an hour before cooking. In a pan 2 minutes a side then removed for a minute while I threw some butter, orange peel, and garlic into the pan. Steaks back in and basted both sides for 30 seconds then rested for 10 minutes before cutting in.
The wife finished before me!

Camera doesn’t do it justice.

One of the best Connecticut shades I’ve tried. Reminded me a lot of the Henry Clay War Hawk.
