So, I kind of forgot about this blog, mainly because I haven't tried too many new baking recipes as of late--things have been busy and it is just too darn hot! It is hot again today, so no baking. We will, however, be grilling!
First of all, cheers!
a little prosecco and Old Speckled Hen
the savory:Spice-rubbed rib eye with Bar Americain (a la Bobby Flay) steak sauce
-1/4 cup ancho chili powder
-1 1/2 tbsp paprika
-2 tsp oregano
-2 tsp coriander
-2 tsp dry mustard
-1 tbsp + 2 tsp salt
-2 tsp black pepper
-1 tsp cumin
-2 tbsp oil (recipe calls for canola, but I wouldn't take it with a 10-foot pole. Used EVOO instead)
Spice rub
Mmmmmm, meat :)
-rib-eye steaks
-Bar Americain sauce
Whisk together spices (only 2 tsp of salt--the rest is to go directly on the steaks). Brush steaks with EVOO. Rub spice mixture on steaks (which have been out for about 20 minutes, coming to room temperature). On high, grill spice-side down for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred and then flip over, cooking for 5-6 minutes for a medium-rare steak.
Bar Americain sauce
-1/4 cup Dijon mustard
-1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
-1/4 cup molasses
-2 tbsp ketchup
-2 tbsp honey
-1 tbsp horseradish, prepared and drained
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 tsp black pepper
Whisk together. Cover and chill for at least a half hour.
The other stuff:
Grilled corn
Grilled onion, zucchini and summer squash
The final product:

And (this was a staple this vacation...):
Someone clearly got way more hot fudge (me)!
Hope everyone had a fun and safe July 4th!
