I really like risotto even though it takes quite a bit of work to cook up! I cooked it up as directed but used much more liquid...probably close to 5 cups. I didn't get the short grain rice so I probably used a bit more because the type of rice.
While I cooked the risotto Sean grilled up the steak. We used a london broil and I marinated it for about an hour and a half. For the marinade I just chopped everything up but didn't use the food processor as directed. It probably would have been better to marinate the steak for longer especially with the type that we used to get a bit more flavor.
Instead of doing the roasted asparagus I made roasted green beans. We have a big bag in the freezer and I thought they would be a perfect replacement.
This whole meal was so good! The risotto was nice and creamy and the zucchini was a nice addition to it. The steak was tasty although it didn't have a strong lime or chile flavor. I could only slightly taste the spiciness from the seranno chili pepper. The green beans were also good with the slivered almonds and garlic flavoring. It all went together very nicely. Sean also liked the meal and packed up the leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. Summer decided to cooperate with this meal and told me it was " 'licious" which I will gladly take since last night she told me the chicken I made was "yucky."

I am so glad that summer thought it was so licious! :) I love the little words that they say; always makes me smile. I am trying the steak on Friday and I am planning on marinating possible overnight if I don't forget. Love the pics! Looks good!
Everything looks licious and not yucky! - so cute :) I am looking forward to making the meal either tomorrow or the next day (I have two to make). I think I will use chicken instead of beef and I did buy asparagus to use. Thanks for the review and pics.
Love the pictures and little Summer just gets cuter and cuter. I really liked this recipe too.
