This to me is the classic “treat yourself” meal to have with company. We bought some delicious steaks at Eastern Market and experimented with a bunch of Penzey’s seasonings: Bicentennial rub, Chicago seasoning, and Old English rub. Bicentennial ended up being the favorite. We also made homemade french fries (included here) and Asian-y Asparagus (listed elsewhere).
For the steaks
*Steaks: we had two strip steaks and one large top butt sirloin
*steak seasoning
*salt
*pepper
For fries
*vegetable oil for deep fat fryer
*four Idaho potatoes
Steak
Preheat grill with both burners on high for 15 minutes.
While that is happening, season steak with seasonings, salt and pepper.
Lower heat to medium. Cook steaks for about 4 minutes on each side for medium rare.
French fries
Cut potatoes into long strips (I like my fries not too thick). Heat oven in fryer to 375 degrees.
When fryer oil is heated, add half the potatoes to fryer. Cook for about 12 minutes (check to see if they’re crispy). Cook a second batch afterwards.
