Steak and Potatoes

Classic man meal I know, but our dinner on Saturday night was for 5 guys and 2 girls and man was it yummy! Our friend Scott was so nice as to supply the food but its like they always say....If you build it they will come, but in this case if you bring it I will cook! It was fun to have the guys over and we enjoyed some wine and played some games with good company. For the menu we went with grilled steaks, baja mashed potatoes, and good ole green beans.

I used a 3qt pot for the potatoes, a saucepan for some caramelized onions, and a medium pot for the green beans.

Cook Time: 35 Minutes
Yields: 8 Servings

STEAK INGREDIENTS:

• 7 or 8 Sirloin Steaks
• Salt and Pepper
• Worchestshire Sauce
• 1/2 Onion Sliced
• 4 Cloves Garlic
• 6 TBSP Butter
• 1 TBSP EVOO
• 1 TSP Dried Herbs de Provence

PREPARATION:

Marinate the steaks prior to cooking with salt and pepper, and drizzle with Worcestershire sauce, put in refrigerator until ready to grill.  In a small sauce pan melt down the butter and oil until it starts to foam, add garlic and onions, salt and pepper, and simmer until onions are caramelized. Add dried herbs and let simmer.

Heat the grill and put steaks on flipping after 5 minutes and grill for an additional 4 minutes or until desired doneness.

POTATOES INGREDIENTS:

• 8 Russet Potatoes (peeled and cubed)
• 3 Cloves of Garlic
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 5 TBSP Butter
• 1 8oz Can of Rotel Tomatoes
• 1/2 Cup of Milk

PREPARATION:

Bring a full pot of salted water up to a boil and add cubed potatoes, let boil for approx 20 minutes or until forkin tender. Drain potatoes and transfer back to pot. Add butter, salt and pepper, milk, garlic, Rotel tomatoes and stir (mashing them with the spoon).  Turn heat to low and let cook in pot for 8-10 minutes.

For the can green beans I usually add half an Onion sliced, a clove of minced garlic, a pad of butter, salt and pepper, and let simmer in a pot until warmed. 

TO SERVE:

Scoop Potatoes and Green beans onto plate, pick a nice steak and spoon some of the Onion sauce on top. Mmmm Mmmm!!
