Steak Amongst Vino Shallot Mushroom Cream Sauce & Mashed Potatoes

As a new Mom, I bring a novel constitute abide by for what "Quick & Easy" actually means.  For me non solely does it postulate to hold upward quick from fridge to dinner table, but it must hold upward slowly to build clean up, too.  Oh, together with it must hold upward something for which I already bring the ingredients at home.

Before Emma was born, I stocked the freezer together with pantry alongside items I purpose on a regular solid position down thus I would hold upward able to brand all of my favorites without leaving the house.  So, after a major Costco trip, our identify is at nowadays fully stocked alongside the essentials (more nearly this later).  It has helped me to hold upward able to proceed to brand dinner every nighttime - together with forcefulness a petty inventiveness on my part, too.

This is a cracking event of what y'all tin create alongside fifty-fifty a minimally stocked freezer together with pantry.  It mightiness non await similar a dinner that y'all throw together on a Mon night, but it is... inwards nearly xx minutes alongside 2 pans.  I said Mon nighttime because nosotros ever bring a leftover bottle of vino from the weekend thus I endeavor to purpose it upward on Mon night, or I freeze it to purpose after (again, to a greater extent than on freezer tips later).

The fox to making this repast stretch is slicing the steak.  When y'all spell on strip steak it easily turns into plenty for ii - peculiarly when served alongside a hearty mushroom sauce.  All I postulate to brand certain I bring for this dinner is ane steak (to part betwixt the ii of us), mushrooms together with approximately leftover wine.  Everything else are pantry items or from the fridge I ever bring around.  If y'all don't spill out to bring potatoes, purpose rice, egg noodles, bow necktie pasta or risotto... or any else y'all tin come upward up with.
