My boys love steak and after trying the Boneless New York Strip, it's all we buy now. Here are some tips on preparing your steak: Season the night before (or right when you get home from grocery store, 2 days won't hurt, or the morning of the dinner you plan of having them is fine also) What I season mine with: Montreal steak seasoning (or like spice), garlic powder, pepper, drizzle with a little olive oil and store in container or ziplock bag. Lay steak out on counter before cooking so that it will be room temperature before cooking (this really makes a difference) I suggest like an hour before. Sear quickly to lock in juices, during the searing process on each side, turn your steaks a quarter of turn to make grill marks crisscross, this seals the juices in. Then turn down on low and allow to cook to your desire. I serve bake potatoes with mine, you can even micro them and they are good. Sauted mushrooms are great with it. too. Try puttin your musrooms on scewers on the grill. Easy meal, with no kitchen mess!!!!!! Maybe you can even get your husband to do the grilling while you sit and relax, watching him cook!
Have leftover steak, well here's some ideas on what to do then.
Panini sandwich; slice the steak into really thin strips, top with sauted mushrooms(maybe even left over) and provolone cheese, drizzle a little ranch dressing and grill(panini) Yummy lunch! You may even get a phone call from your husband after lunch after this sandwich.
Add leftover steak to a salad, or after cutting into thin strips(if it's still on the pink side, not good if too well done), toss with a little fajita seasoning, heat olive oil in pan and stick meat in just to warm.
Ribs
Season ribs with the following:
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. celery salt (or celery seed)
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Rub on both sides of ribs, place in crockpot with a can of beer, cook on low 4-5 hours.
2 c. hickory smoked wood chips
For atleast 1 hour before grilling, soak wood chips in enough water to cover, drain.
For sauce:
In medium saucepan, cook;
1 medium onion and 2 cloves of garlic in 1 Tbsp. of hot butter
Stir in;
1 c. ketchup
1/4 c. molasses(use honey if you don't have molasses, it will work also)
1/4 c. cidar vinegar
1/4 c. water
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. yellow mustard
1 Tbsp. worchester sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
Bring to boil, Reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes ( I have used an old saucepan and done this over the hot coals on grill instead of inside)
Sprinkle wood chips over medium coals in a charcoal grill. Place ribs on the grill rack directly over the coals. Grill covered, for 10 minutes or until ribs are browned, turning once and brushing occasionally with sauce. (for gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Add wood chips, place ribs on grill rack, grill as directed above) After this, I put the ribs in a pan and smothered with more of the sauce and then put my pan on a brick and shut the lid, so they would just simmer a little and allow the smokey flavor and seasonig to soak in. Serve with remaining sauce.
Takes a little time, but sooooo worth it when you eat them!!!!!!
I serve with seasoned fries
Fries with Barbecue Shake
1 bag of 28 oz. fries (small size/shoestring even)
1/2 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. celery salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
Prepare french fries according to package directions
Combine ingredients and sprinkle barbecue shake over hot fries and toss to coat.
Recipes from Spring 2009 Grilling Magazine, I have made a couple little changes that are above.
Ground Turkey
Sometimes I even mix ground turkey and hamburger for more flavor. Turkey burgers are great warmed up because they retain their moisture better than hambuger.
Mediterrane Turkey Burger

1/2 c. crackers(ritz)
1/2 10 oz. package of spinach, thawed and drained or fresh spinach
1/3 c. chopped onion
2 Tbsp. dijon mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
4 oz. mozzarella cheese
1/4 c. roasted red pepper(bottled, drained and cut or fresh just sauted)
Comine turkey with spices and grill, top with cheese and red peppers.

Bone-In chicken breast
My family loves barbecued chicken on the grill. Season your chicken a little, my favorite is Weber's Kicken Chicken, just sprinkle a little and grill, when chicken is almost done, brush barbecue sauce. Sweet!!!!! Serve with Sweet Corn and fresh green beans.
Green Beans
Have you ever had fried green beans at Friday? Oh, are they good, if you are interested, I have the recipe.
Chicken Salad Piccata ( I haven't tried this one yet, but just found it in the new Rachel Ray Magazine and thought it sounded good, let me know if you try it)
1 1/2 lb. small red potatoes, quartered
1/2 lb. green beans
1/4 c. olive oil
2 Tbsp. coursely chopped capers(or chopped green olives)
1/4 c. chopped flat leaf parsley
Grated lemon peel and juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and Pepper
1 large egg
1/4 c. flour
Two 6 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 c chicken broth
In a large saucepan, add teh potatoes and enough salt water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to boil and cook until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a colander. Add green beans to the boiling water, and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Drain in the colander with potatoes, let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 c. olive oil. 1 Tbsp. capers and 3 Tbsp. parsley, the lemon peel and half the lemon juice. Add the potatoes and beans and toss, season with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs, in another bowl, season the flour with salt and pepper. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Coat the chicken breast with the seasoned flour, then dip in egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and coat with the flour again, shaking off the excess. Add to skillet and cook, turning once, until golden brown about 8 minutes. Transfer to cutting board and cut into strips.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet, cook over medium heat, scraping up any brown bits. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 1 Tbsp. capers, 1 Tbsp. parsley and lemon juice. Top the salad with the chicken and drizzle with the pan sauce.
As per Rachel, this recipe cost $9.00, $2.25 for a family of 4.
Boness Loin Chops
Another recipe I just found but haven't had a chance to cook yet, but I took advantage of the pork loin sale a couple weeks back and plan to try this one out.
Beer-Brined Pork Loin Chops
4 boneless pork loin chops 1 1/2 thick
1 3/4 c. water
1 3/4 c. stout(dark beer)
3 Tbsp. coarse salt
2 Tbsp. mild flavor molasses (honey should work if you don't have molasses, but they are good to have on hand and keep)
2 tsp. coarsely cracked black pepper
4 cloves garlic
1. Place chops in resealable bag. For brine, in a large bowl, combine water, stout(beer), salt and molasses, stir until salt dissolves. Pour stout over chops, seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 8-24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2.Drain chops, discarding brine, pat chops dry with papertowels. In a small bowl, combine pepper and garlic. sprinkle pepper mixture evenly over both sides of chops, rub in with fingers.
For a charcoal grill, arrange medium-hot coals around a drip pan in a grill with a cover. test for medium heat above pan. Place chops on the grill rack over pan. Cover and grill for 30-35 minutes or until chops are slightly pink in center and juices fun clear(160 degreesF)turning once half way through. (For gas grill, preheat grill, reduce heat to medium, adjust for indirect cooking, cover and grill as directed above)
