Yes, You Too Can Have This Picturesque Flank Steak at Swami’s in Oceanside

img_0318

A flank steak that was cooked perfectly medium rare, and it was cut and trimmed to have zero fat to trim, and it was uniform thickness. It sat atop gorgonzola-tater mash; there were shrooms, and there were blueberries. There was a blueberry purée, and a mushroom demiglace. The veggies (broccolini) were edible and delicious. It had a flower.

$18.

At Swami’s in Oceanside. I walked there from my AirBNB and back.

At that price, it goes to the front of my line of bang for buck, ever.
