Steaks with Cross-hatch marks

For years I would see pictures of steaks with beautiful and appetizing grill marks on them. Never crossed my mind how they got there. I just knew that my steaks didn't have them. After watching The Food Network repeatedly, the secret was revealed. (Thanks to Bobby Flay!) You simply turn the steak, or whatever piece of meat your grilling, so it marks in both directions. It works on an outdoor grill or on an indoor grill pan. And there you have the secret of the cross-hatch revealed! Yes, it's really that simple. Does it change the taste of the steak, chicken, pork. etc? Absolutely not. But it looks gorgeous on the plate. Now, my steaks taste delicious and look fabulous!

Steak sandwiches

Who needs black-eyed peas on New Year's Day? I didn't want to cook a big meal, so after scanning the frig, I decided to make a steak sandwich.

I grilled some thin cut ribeye steaks with Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick. Then I toasted some Italian bread slices. I mixed mayo, mustard and horseradish for a sandwich spread that was incredible.

Put it all together and YUM!

Lemon pepper flat iron steak

A quick after a busy work day that's very tasty!

Flat iron steak is an inexpensive cut and this recipe is very flavorful.

To cook the potatoes, I have four golden potatoes and slices them very thin. Sliced a half of an onion. Placed them all in a flat baking pan or sheet pan. Coated them in Olive Oil seasoned with salt, pepper, and parsley flakes and place the pan in a pre-heated 400 degree oven. Cook until tender. Quick, easy and totally yummy.
