Yes but after that, take this bad boy, wrap it in some parchment paper or foil, throw it in a toaster oven on warm or something similar. Let that thing sweat and soften the rest of the bread, cheese will be perfectly melted, and it perfectly matches that Don's texture after you speed home.

It just makes cooking it take way less effort. Basically you cook it low and slow in the oven til its about 100-105F then sear blast it in the pan to finish it. You get "wall to wall" medium rare or whatever temp you're trying to cook it.

Mostly, it is very helpful when you're cooking multiple things to time it out right.

Thanks bud. I'll let you in on a secret on the the broccoli. It was done in a toaster oven. 425 for 20 min. Melted some butter and olive oil with shallots & your favorite seasonings to drizzle over and toss.

I rougly followed this one for the ratios. Very lightly sautéed a whole shallot in about a tbsp or 2 of butter, also maybe a tsp of onion powder and garlic powder, or however you like it. I also didn't add parsley because I think it is pointless.

ONE THING I WILL SAY. This recipe makes enough for probably 6 normal people. My SO and I sauced everything on the plate, and we still have a bunch left over.
