Actually, for me, a good steak needs only salt and ground black pepper and a good 3-minute sear on both sides. Perfection

We're doing smoked ribs, grilled potatoes and a green salad. For dessert, I'm going to make individual cobblers - blackberry for me and peach for DH.

Philly cheese steaks and maybe fries or a macaroni salad.

we are getting in all or most of our winter hay today....so it will be the last of the potato salad and FRESH CORN....tested out 4 ears at lunch; two were ready, 2 were not quite there, so will try again for supper..

Whenever I travel I like to leave my kids with enough to pick on to last a few days...

I made chicken parmigiana, sausage and peppers, spaghetti, garlic bread and a huge tossed salad. Giant fruit salad, too.

There is still plenty of corn bread and chocolate bread pudding around. Still lots of rabbit ettouffe, too.

I need inspiration - so far I'm inspired to lie about my age and see if Vera will adopt me!

Kadesma....my mouth is watering! I WAS excited about my steaks until I read your post......

And GotGarlic I agree with you when you have a top quality cut of steak but this time I just bought regular chuck steaks, but I bought them because they had beautiful marbling this time, so they should be good and tender. I don't want to drown the flavor, but add a little spin and help with the tenderizing

Dee - if I want to do something different to steaks I will marinate in equal parts of teriyaki, pineapple juice, and white wine. The Pineapple juice will act as a tenderizer too.

Another thing I have done on occasion (it won't help with tenderizing) is brush on some BBQ sauce right at grilling time. Certainly changes up things.

You are about to inspire to make steaks tonight!!!! There's nothing better than a good ol' steak and baked potato - or yukon gold potato packets on the grill!!!!

 

[deelady]

What was I thinkin KE with not buying more potatoes when I bought the steaks yesterday......If I wasn't feeling so lazy today I'd run to the store and buy them....

And you know.... I DO have a can of Kerns Pinapple juice in the fridge begging to be used....hmmmmmm Sounds good KE thanks.

 

[simplicity]

I had some left over roast beef and the last of the garden tomatoes, so it's sandwiches here.

Ah. I don't think I've made that cut before, so I'm glad KE came through for you

 

[deelady]

I just tried it for the first time this year, its pretty flavorful, esp. for the price, but it is no porterhouse! And KE I just stuck the steaks in 1/2 cup each white wine, terryaki and pinapple.....our dinner is in your hands!!! lol How long should I keep them in for?

 

[miniman]

Roast beef, roast sweet potato, potato & carrots with broccoli and gravy as well.

 

[suziquzie]

I dunno. Pretty low on food here, I may just make scrambled eggs for the kiddos and grocery shop tomorrow.

 

[elaine l]

It's usually pizza night here but I am trying to use up everything before vacation. We are having lasagna, pasta with pesto and salad.

I am craving red meat and miniman your dinner sounds delicious.

 

[miniman]

It certainly was. I have to have a tapering joint as dw and eldest son like well done meat. Youngest and myself like our meat much more pink. This worked very well today. The gravy was lovely, had used red wine to cook the beef and this translated into the juices and I mixed this with an apple gravy, I made last week. DW even complimented me on the gravy (wow wee)

 

[pacanis]

I'm going to reheat a BBQed pork steak from the other night and also fix blackened orange roughy. And green beans and slaw.

I see cornish game hens in my near furture..... they had them at wally world for $1.75 each, so I bought six.
