Steak, Potatoes, Mushroom sauce, and SaladOctober 26, 2009
I have a lot of these pictures saved up for posts inside my camera, and I finally uploaded a bunch, hence the recent burst of posts.
This was a combined effort between me and my husband, Alan. One day I got a really bad hankering for a complete, old-fashioned southern meal, and Alan thought it sounded good too, lol. This was the very delectable product of said hankering.
Alan grilled the rib-eye steaks (salted and marinated in some oil and spices) over charcoal with hickory wood chips. We like our steaks about medium-rare. He also helped me with the mashed potatoes, which were mashed with lots of butter, cream, and milk. I don’t use any of the boiling water in my mashed potatoes, because I like it full of yummy dairy products. They were also spiced with dried oregano, sage, thyme, and various other stuff, along with salt.
The mushroom sauce was made with the drippings from the steaks, some flour, and sauteed mushrooms. At least, I believe that’s it. It’s been awhile since we did this. The salad was simply green leaf lettuce, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. The salad dressing was our personal favorite made by Bragg: Ginger & Sesame Salad Dressing.
It was a wonderful dinner. We actually had enough leftovers to repeat the entire meal the next day! Everyone needs to do something like this every once in awhile.
