We had some Bifteck Sauté Béarnaise remaining from the other night, so we had that with 2 new salads: Heirloom Tomato Salad with Anchovy Vinaigrette from the August 2012 Food and Wine (with tomatoes from our garden), and Celery Apple Salad from the September 2012 Cooking Light. The Tomato Salad gets a 4, and the apple salad gets a 5--so simple and so tasty!

Wine: Small Gully The Formula 2006 Robert's Shiraz

In honor of Julia Child's 100th birthday, we made Bifteck Sauté Béarnaise. The Béarnaise did curdle as it finished (note to self, make the Béarnaise last!), but the flavor was spot on! It gets a 4! Perfect Béarnaise would make it a 5. Served with roasted baby potatoes with sautéed onion and mushroom, and fresh heirloom garden tomatoes.

Wine: Chateau Simard 1999 St Emilion
