While I am on the theme of simple summer food, it is a real treat for us to have a steak. Especially a good steak. I tend to buy cheap cuts and slice them into bit for stir fry or soups. If it's a bigger piece like a roast, I usually use the slow cooker. However, it was my husband's lucky day last Sunday. The store had a rib eye steak on sale and marked down so I grabbed one for us.
I always make him a special steak for his birthday. I coat it in garlic, rosemary and pepper before cooking it. It is cooked in the oven at a high temp and topped with mushrooms and a wine sauce. I don't even really like steak and it's amazing.
That's probably the only other time we cook whole steaks. Tonight though, we are going to grill it. I am going to try the same pressed garlic, rosemary and pepper coating and make sure the grill is well oiled before we stick it out there. I don't have mushrooms, but I think it will still be very good.
On the side, I am planning on serving roasted kale and a foil packet of baby red potatoes, garlic, and onions (each roasted on the grill).
It's really nice out today so I think it will be a pleasant evening to sit outside and eat. Afterward, I think my might surprise him and go to a restaurant near our house for dessert. They have the most amazing chocolate lava cake and it sounds just wonderful!
