Rice
I prefer Basmati rice, but other rice types will also work. I recommend a rice cooker though. I use to never cook rice, now I cook rice all the time! Having a rice cooker takes the thinking out of making rice, I just set it and wait for the cooker to tell me it is done. Here is the Aroma rice cooker I use from amazon, it is the perfect small size for my family.
Steak
I always salt my steak and let it sit in a bag in my fridge for a day or two before I use it. It helps add flavor and tenderize the meat! If you do this, you will not want to add salt later.
I like to add my Za’atar seasoning right before cooking. You can add it when you salt you steak though, this will give the steaks a stronger flavor.
Pesto
The best deal I have found for premade pesto is Kirkland brand from Costco. You get a lot of pesto for the money!
Condiments
I like to keep it simple, but you can take this dish and make it your own. Add diced onions and tomatoes to give it something extra.
