Well, last night was our second attempt at searing the steaks in a hot pan on the stove and then finishing them off in a 500 degree oven for about 3 minutes.  The verdict: not as good as a steak from the grill, but it turned out to be pretty good.  We also had brie and crackers, a nice salad with feta cheese and pecans, and bread.  The red wine we had was something we hadn&#8217;t tried before, a cabernet and shiraz blend from Pechuga.  It wasn&#8217;t incredible, but it was good.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"ben\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/ben1.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/ben1.thumbnail.JPG?w=858\" alt=\"ben\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><a title=\"steak1\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/steak1.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/steak1.thumbnail.JPG?w=858\" alt=\"steak1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><a title=\"salad\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/salad.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/salad.thumbnail.JPG?w=858\" alt=\"salad\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><a title=\"steak2\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/steak2.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/steak2.thumbnail.JPG?w=858\" alt=\"steak2\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><a title=\"carrie\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/carrie1.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/carrie1.thumbnail.JPG?w=858\" alt=\"carrie\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:70px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/2008\/03\/17\/steak-dinnerwithout-a-grill\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"standard\" width=\"400\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben and I have were forced by our apartment complex to get rid of our grill a few months ago.
