A great, thick, juicy steak; five large mushrooms, covered with butter and slices of garlic and grilled until they blackened; a leek, fried in olive oil.
No, you fool. Wrap the *leek* in tinfoil and bake it (along with an onion, wrapped in tinfoil as well) for an hour in a moderate oven. Then unwrap them and add butter and pepper. Meanwhile, fry the mushrooms in olive oil along with the garlic and a little white wine. That's the way to do it.

I grilled a couple of leeks this time round, along with a pork chop; didn't try wrapping them. Reasonably nice; I should probably have baked them with the nasty outer leaves still on, then removed those after they'd sacrificially kept the interior moist and tasty. I slit one down the middle and the other not; no interesting difference. Should have done garlic mushrooms too, fool that I am.
