Steaks and Grill Baked Potatoes
 
This was actually what I was supposed to cook last night but having missed mass earlier in the day I put it off until today so we could make yesterday's 6:00 pm mass.
As you can tell it's grillin' time when a good cold beer is hanging around the Keg.

I put the potatoes on the grill to bake about an hour before I was ready to throw the steaks on. They were sensually rubbed with bacon drippings from bacon I cooked the other night. Then they were lightly sprinkled with a good flaky kosher salt and on to the grill they went. I failed to get pictures of them on the grill.
After removing the potatoes I raised the temperature letting the lump charcoal get good and red hot.
Time for the steaks! a mix of ribeyes I cut myself, New York Strips and a beautiful filet rounded out the beef along with a couple of chicken breasts. The steaks were simply seasoned with a good rub down of bacon drippings, flaky salt and fresh cracked black pepper. The chicken breasts had a light sprinkle of Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic.
When they were just about done I dropped on each one a lil scoop of a garlic butter with parsley to melt on them. A bit more added when removed from the grill and they were smelling fantastic!

Salad on the side this was a delicious meal that I know would be hard to beat in any restaurant.

If you lean real close to your monitor you just might get a whiff of how great they smelled.

Watch out you don't get your keyboard too close and have juices drip on it!

Hows that Andy Gator? I saw that at the store the other day and thought about picking some up, but went with Shock top, which is pretty damn good.

Steaks look awesome!

Thanks! The Andygator is pretty darn good. I think it costs a little more than the other Abita beers because of a supply & demand thing but it's a good beer.

I used to love andygator. I can't drink it anymore because I drank way too much of it one night and now I can't stomach the taste. But it is a great beer.

DId you make the butter yourself, and how exactly do you make it if so? I have the perfect spot for it cleared out in my fridge!

Take a stick or two of butter and unwrap(easier to do while still cold), place in a round bottom bowl and let come to room temp. Use fresh garlic and finely chop or crush however much you like and add to the softened butter. Using a spatula mix it up well, you could add a tiny bit of salt if you like. Add(preferably fresh)chopped parsley and cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Sometimes I make a bunch and stick it in the fridge to have on hand when I need it. Great on warmed french bread too!

BTW, I have also made real butter from heavy cream. Comes out great!
