Volume 3.5 Chapter 24: Someone Wants To Join
Keith wasn't focused as he stared at the rib-eye steak. His eyes locked onto it. The marbling on the meat was especially vibrant on this cut.
This is better than fine marbling. Keith was in awe.
To get a great crust on the steak, pat dry the meat. Keith took some paper and dried any moisture. Any moisture would kill the crust. He seasoned the steak like he did with the New York Strip.
Once he did that, he drizzled some oil into the pan.
Like that, he placed the steak on.
Everyone could hear a resounding sizzle from the pan. Give the steak a few minutes to sear on both sides. Keith flipped it over. A rich brown-golden sear was on the steak. Keith seared all sides of the meat before placing some butter into the pan.
He wasn't done as he added the rose plant and other herbs.
"!" The nose of everyone twitched. That aroma! Keith didn't notice the expressions the other had. He basted the steak with melted butter and herbs. Slowly, the smell started to intensify.
"Grhhh!" Cadmus held himself back. He was grunting and gritting his teeth as he stared at the pan.
"Hold it," Sohma and Aidiun grabbed his shoulder. This man was going to pounce!
"I know!" Cadmus understood. He was going to wait for the finished product to be served! Waiting was a tortuous game. Keith took the steaks off the pan, letting it rest.
I need to cook that. Keith took some asparagus out. It was time to taste them. Diana helped him grow it as soon as possible. And it was a great vegetable to pair with the steak. He placed them into the steak pan.
It absorbed the mixture of herbs, butter, and steak juice!
After Keith finished, he tossed the roasted vegetables onto the plate. He placed all the steaks onto a plate. The sides were asparagus and roasted vegetables.
"Alright, we can eat!" Keith smiled. Like that, the others didn't hesitate as they started to eat!
"So delicious!"
"Mmhmm, there's someone who wants to join your island,"
"That's awesome! Who is it?" Keith was curious now. Who was the one who decided to join his island?
"He will be there tomorrow. You don't have to worry about it,"
"Understood!" Keith pumped his fist.
"..." The adults didn't know what to say about it. His expression was bright.
...
"Hah!" Keith entered one of the rooms in the mansion. He had cleaned it, and it was time to sleep in it. This was going to be his room.
"Goodnight, everyone." Keith smiled as he went to bed,
...
"Hello, guys!" Keith waved his hand at Kreye, Hepha, and Rhea. When he went to bed, he was sent to the white space again.
"Keith, it's been a while." Kreye smiled.
"Why have you called me here now?" Keith tilted his head. When that was said, Rhea and Hepha scratched their heads. But then the two kicked Kreye forward.
"Hey!"
"Don't tell me. Do you guys want to try the steak?" Keith grinned. This was the usual.
"Please and thank you!" Kreye clapped his hands together.
"Sure. You don't have to worry about it," Keith laughed. A second later, the ingredients appeared in front of him.
"Let me get to work!" Keith smiled.
