Steak salad

February 9, 2010
Test lunch #4

Tasters: Kristin and Mr. H

Menu:
Steak salad
Whole wheat roll
Yogurt parfait with granola
Brownie

Recipes, notes and feedback:

Steak salad: Romaine salad with cucumber, carrot, garbanzos and cubed steak (tri tip).
This was a hit. Folks liked the meat and the healthyness of the salad. Served with a dijon/white wine vinegar vinagrette with green onions and garlic. Kristin liked the dressing.

Bread: this recipe
The roll was too large (about 3.5 inches across) and quite dry. Maybe unnecessary?

Yogurt parfait with granola: Homemade yogurt with strawberries layered in. Almond/walnut granola (recipe from this cheat sheet) in a separate container. Very tasty but this was a very filling lunch. Kristin couldn't finish. It was about right for Mr. H.

Brownie: Whole wheat, double chocolate brownie recipe from King Arthur Flour book. Was cut a bit too large. I did add the coffee powder.
