Rosemary Steak

Use a good, thick cut of steak, something like London broil.

Salt, to taste.

Pepper, to taste.

Coat steak, both sides, with olive oil.

Cover steak with rosemary. Dried is OK. Fresh herb is better.

Last, cover one side of steak with minced garlic.

Put on microwave-safe plate and microwave until done to taste, or on foil in gas-stove broiler, same. I like mine medium rare.

Goes very well with an Italian-style vegetable-pasta side dish.

A Cheap And Easy Sandwich With 4 Basic Ingredients

2 slices of whole-grain bread

Underwood deviled ham

Cream cheese

Cucumber slices

Spread deviled ham on one slice of bread, to taste. Then spread cream cheese on the other slice of bread, to taste. I use Philadelphia reduced-fat onion and chive flavor. Put cucumber slices between, and it's basically ready. Mustard may be added to your taste, if you like it.

Postscript: Tomato slices, zucchini slices or yellow squash slices are also good additions or alternatives. Depends on how many veggies you like on your sandwich.
