STEAK...

[Gonna Smoke]

...it's what's for supper. I had planned to grill a couple of ribeyes for supper today, but Fred, or at least his advance team, has been knocking on the door and it has rained almost all day. So firing up the grill is out, time to resort to plan 'B'. First things first, though. Scrubbed some baking potatoes, gave them an herb infused EVOO bath, and dressed them with some coarse salt. Aluminum foil coat and they're ready for a 400℉ oven for the duration...

While I'm waiting, let's make a salad. Romaine, spinach, cukes, radishes, carrots, and tomatoes...

Well it's pouring down rain, but I still got to cook the steaks. So I drag my fish fryer out into the garage and grab my cast iron skillet, I'm going to pan fry them. Ribeyes are seasoned with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper...

A little bacon grease in the skillet and onto the fryer. Get it hot and time for the steaks...

Couple 3 minutes or so then a flip. Few more minutes and they're done, time to let them take a break for a while...

We like sauted mushrooms and onions. Simply EVOO, couple of TBSP of butter, salt and pepper. Once they're mostly done, I add in a couple of TBSP of Worcestershire sauce and let it reduce to basically nothing. You don't see it, but you can definitely taste it...

Because I really like them, I roasted some fresh okra again. No pics, but just drizzled in EVOO, coarse salt and fresh ground pepper and into the oven @425℉ to get a little color, about 20 minutes. Time to eat now...

Maybe Fred will get out of town in a day or so and I can fire up the grill again...

LOL . Living in South Carolina, we're used to these storms, well as used to them as anyone can get. It rained all day, most of the night, and is raining now, but Fred is supposed to be out of here tomorrow. Just thankful that he isn't a hurricane and REALLY showing his behind...

Thank you for the kind words...

Thank you, David. I like to use the cast iron, too, but I had my heart set on some grill/smoke flavor, but Fred had other plans...

Thank you, yankee. I try to cook simply, with simple ingredients, and simple techniques that anyone can duplicate. When I worked, attention to details and relaying those details was extremely important. I probably go a little overboard with them, but it's my nature. I don't want any unanswered questions just because I left out some details...

OMG YUM! God I love steak! You cooked them perfectly!

Thank you, Sandy...

Thank you, Colin...

Thank you, Jim. So far, Fred has been more bark than bite. Not too much wind, just rain with more forecast for today and into tonight. The worst wind, 25-30 mph, is forecast here for late tonight and tomorrow morning as Fred makes his exit. But you know those weather guys, they got to pump it up. Stay safe my friend...

Those Rib Steaks were beautiful. Really hard to beat the uniform brown sear of Cast Iron...JJ

Thank you, Chris. My son-in-law doesn't like mushrooms, either, it's a texture thing with him. But my daughter loves them, and she's a daddy's girl, so you know who wins that battle

Thank you, JJ. I love the cast iron, but I was really looking forward to the sear from some lump. Fred had other ideas, though...

Now that is a fine looking meal!
I still like my steaks over wood or charcoal, but you can’t beat a good ribeye in a cast iron pan, basted with butter.
Great job!
