Sometimes great meals are easy meals. For a great steak my fallback is so simple – olive oil and garlic salt. People rave, and it is so easy.

This meal was a tenderloin, along with green beans that were sautéed with hazelnuts.

Steam the beans, then sauté in olive oil, garlic and rough crushed hazelnuts, then sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

The second course was a grilled Cesar Salad. I wish I could take credit for the recipe but I found it at a blog site “the Little kitchen” and it is one of the best I have ever had, as well as a simple one.
