Steak w/Chimichurri
This was really, really good. I had never made chimichurri before, but this was a good first effort, although I already have ideas on how to improve it.

Happy Valentine's Day!
We decided to splurge and buy some expensive ingredients to make dinner tonight, rather than wasting money on so-so restaurant food!
We made grilled ribeye steak, bacon wrapped sea scallops, herbed rice pilaf and grilled asparagus.

Check out the grill marks!
The final product. Pretty tasty!

Coffee Steaks and Yams
Happy
National French Fries Day!
We had a little time today to make some nice rubs and get a little creative, so we decided to grill some coffee-crusted
flat-iron steaks and bake some sweet potato fries.
This is the uncooked steak with only the rub, which consisted of a lot of paprika, espresso, brown sugar, and some other stuff.
Sliced sweet potatoes. (duh)
The finished product.
It was a pretty good meal, overall. The steaks were really moist and tender with a somewhat crispy crust and the sweet potato fries were seasoned really well by Pan. We also dipped some of the fries in mayo, which was a nice touch. The coffee rub was really good, and we made a lot of it, so I'm sure we'll be having other coffee-crusted beef items sometime soon.
