Should I Peel Tomatoes Before Making Salsa?

This garden salsa bowl is made with fresh tomatoes! No cooking needed. What could be easier, right? But if you choose to cook them, or you’re prepping some extras for canned salsa, you might want to peel them first. It’s super easy! Just drop your tomatoes in a pot of boiling water for 45-60 seconds (until you see the skin start to wrinkle). After that, dunk them in cold water, and the skins should come right off!

How to Cook a Great Steak

A great steak is surprisingly easy to make! There are just a few things to keep in mind while you work, and in no time at all you’ll have a juicy, delicious steak, great for any night of the week!

Put your skillet on medium-high heat

Use cast iron, or stainless steel with a light smear of oil so it doesn’t stick. You don’t need much!

Season your steak with salt and pepper or a marinade if you prefer

Cook your steak one side at a time- don’t flip it back and forth!

The more you flip your steak, the less you’ll get that gorgeous sear on the outside. That will help keep in that flavor. Use tongs to flip the steak so you’re not piercing it and losing juices.

Cook the each side of a one inch thick steak for 2-3 minutes for a rare steak, 4 minutes for medium, or 5-6 minutes for well done.

Don’t move the steak around while it’s cooking. Let it sit in the heat and develop that thick crust! It will be great, just hang tight and let it do its thing.
