Dinner
Thursday night steak night features rib eye steak with a Nigella Lawson inspired Vietnamese salad, which worked out pretty well.
- The dry aged rib eye was $22.40 or $11.20 per serve
- Persian cucumber was 60c or 30c per serve
- Bean sprouts were $1.49 and we used 1/3 or 25c per serve
- Limes (for juice) add 30c per serve
- Watercress adds 60c per serve
- Peanuts were $2.99 but we only used half, or 75c per serve
- Add 15c for carrot

Tonight’s meal was dominated by the salad’s dressing, which wilted the watercress but was intensely flavored. The steak was perfectly cooked (for us) and had great texture, but only a fairly mild flavor. All up, a great meal for $13.75 per serve.
