Remove the pan from the heat and let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes. It will continue to cook and firm up, so pull it a touch early. Resist the urge to cut into it to check the internal color until the juices have had a chance to reabsorb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slice the steak and add more butter or salt to taste.

Bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook your oats for 5-10 minutes more, depending on how chewy you like them. In 30 minutes they\u2019ll be soft, thick, and creamy. The oats will continue to thicken as they rest, so it\u2019s ok if there\u2019s some residual liquid when you take them off the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneously, saut\u00e9 frozen peaches in a skillet with cinnamon, brown sugar, and a very small amount of water. If you\u2019re feeling adventurous, add a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the mix while the concoction melts and simmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To serve, divide oats into bowls and top with peaches and a generous dash of cold cream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cookware_Food-052.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5094\" style=\"width:800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cookware_Food-052.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cookware_Food-052-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cookware_Food-052-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cleverhiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Cookware_Food-052-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A table like tHE ALPS MOUNTAINEERING DINING TABLE is GREAT FOR GROUP MEALS &amp; GAMES<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group contained-content has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-font-32-px-font-size\" id=\"h-more-camping-food-ideas\">More Camping Food Ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We love food and have a ton more ideas where these came from.
