Yes but steaming veggies is just doing a disservice to them. You do you, but personally I’d never do that ever for any reason.

Next time try grilling or pan frying the vegetables for more flavor; don’t steam them. Use olive oil like the other person said.

Also you didn’t heat the stove/grill enough for a proper sear. Next time use more heat. Get it as hot as you can. The outside should be more brown and crispy than that, while still being rare to medium-rare on the inside. Same thing applies to steak. More temperature, less time.

EDIT: One thing I like to do is hit the meat with a blowtorch first, and then stick it on the grill/stove. It definitely helps get the browning process (i.e. Maillard reactions) going.

Seriously, lol; how did this post even get upvotes? (UpLemmies? Whatever they’re called here)

Honestly I’ll never understand why she chose to go down that path. Becoming Muslim goes against everything she stood for. I just don’t get it.

*sigh*
