Review of the Miso Butter Steak with Shitakes and Asparagus (posted last week):

Meat was not as Brown on the outside as I like. I'll figure out a solution for that. *i cooked in olive oil instead of cooking spray.... maybe that was the reason

I have never used miso and found out I LOVE it!

Rice..... sticking to adding nothing to it next time.

Asparagus and shitake recipe was perfect!!!

Overall great dinner smile emoticon
