Today I had planned to make a Mushroom and Wild Rice Soup (based on the recipe available on the America’s Test Kitchen website). Well, sizing recipes down can be challenging and I hit one today. I ended up with what was more like a pilaf then a soup. So I figured if I have pilaf I better make something to go with it. I had a flatiron steak in the refrigerator I was planning on cooking sous vide with a healthy number of spices, so I made it a double experiment day. And guess what?  Both experiments may not have been exactly what I was shooting for, they were very tasty parts of this meal. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good!  Enjoy the pictures – the description below kind of says it all…
