Happy birthday to my Mommy!

Grilled Steak with Blue Cheese Potatoes

So today is my mom’s birthday and I wanted to make a yummy dinner for her. Thank goodness I can start cooking red meats again, because it was such a beautiful day out we needed to grill (my dad wanted to give a shout-out to Weber because he loves his new grill so much). So we decided to make this wonderful meal.

This recipe calls for:

• 3 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
• 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh rosemary, plus sprigs for garnish
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 3/4 pounds skirt steak
• 1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes
• Coarse salt
• 3 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

The only ingredients I needed pick up from Stop & Shop were the rosemary, steak, potatoes and cheese. We also picked up some asparagus for our veggie. Anyway around it, this wasn’t a long shopping list, especially for how good everything ended up.

First put together your marinade by mixing together the rosemary, Worcestershire sauce and garlic. All the pictures tonight were taken by my brother bear, Andrew.

Put the marinade on the bottom of a baking dish. Please note my lavender toe nail polish in the background. I really like it. I also love my new gingham shirt from the J.Crew outlet. I know Lauren is jealous.

Coat both sides of the steaks with the marinade.

In the meantime, boil your potatoes and then let them simmer for about 15 minutes. I actually got potatoes that were a little large, but they were fine I guess.

When your potatoes are done, stick your steaks on the grill.

Slice your potatoes, brush them with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Add those to the grill with your steakies. Of course, Paratrooper Paul was in charge of the grilling. That is not my domain.

The potatoes come off the grill with pretty, perfect little grill marks.

Serve your blue cheese on the side! Yum yum yum!

Oohhh, summer grilling. Thank you to whoever invented you.
