Unbelievably, we went to Matt’s appointment with the surgeon and he wasn’t there. Nor does he appear to have a secretary. We were not amused. UPDATE the surgeon called us in the evening and apologised. He was in surgery all day and his secretary was supposed to have called everyone to cancel. Anyway, Matt now has an appointment for 9 a.m. Monday and we think he may go in for the colonoscopy on Thursday. Fingers crossed pleased.
This is a very simple but sophisticated recipe which came from MyRecipes. The steak in the picture is more than 4 oz I bet.
Top tender filet mignon with a chive-horseradish butter for an indulgent, 4-ingredient recipe that comes in at only 220 calories per 
serving. Serve with roasted, thinly-sliced sweet potatoes and Broccolini.

2. Sprinkle steaks evenly with salt and pepper. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steaks to pan; cook 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove steaks from pan; let stand 5 minutes. Divide butter mixture evenly among steaks.
Have a great weekend

Hi Jo - how frustrating .. but I guess you can't control surgery - just secretaries?! Love horseradish .. so this steak dish sounds good ... have a good weekend and I hope medical things get sorted next week - Hilary
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I could slap the secretary silly LOL. I hope they do too. Hope your hip is doing OK too.
DeleteDoctors can be so frustrating!!!! But I'm glad he apologized and will see you first thing on Monday. Best of luck with that!!! And w/ the colonoscopy as well.
ReplyDeleteI guess it wasn't his fault but his secretary's. Hope he does go on Thursday and then we can get it all sorted out.
DeleteHope you didn't have too far to travel for your aborted appointment? I don't cook steak at home so its a special treat when we eat out but the horseradish butter/sauce sounds great
ReplyDeleteNo thank goodness. I only eat steak at home. Very rarely eat out anyway.
DeleteThat is a big steak. Maybe half that, and squash. I'm not a sweet potato fan. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThat's aggravating with the surgeon. Hopefully this will be sorted soon... Monday is good! Have a restful weekend, Jo.
It does say 4 oz. in the recipe, but the picture looks bigger than that.
DeleteHoping he will get his surgery Thursday.
That would have been very annoying. I hope Matt didn't have to fast or anything. Enjoy your Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteFor some reason my Reply button isn't working. Yes Pinky it was very annoying but no, no preparations necessary.
