Been doing a lot of different types of meals recently and decided it was time for a good ol' steak. Got a 1 1/2 pound Porterhouse out of the freezer and set about putting together some other things as it was defrosting.
When I make bacon I run the "scraps" through the food processor and chop them into crumbles. They are vac sealed and frozen then when we need bacon bits I fry up a couple pounds, drain, and put in the fridge so we have bacon bits.
Our friend David (

) has been doing some interesting stuff with taters recently so thought I'd mix things up a bit. Homemade garlic mashed taters with diced jalapeno, bacon bits, and cheddar cheese. Kind of mess in the bowl though.
Mix it all up and into a CI skillet then more cheese on top with some GBP
The steak. 1 pound 8 ounce Porterhouse
A nice dose of my recently created dirt rub
Mashed tater casserole on the grill
Steak on the grill over the sear burner. Medium heat so running about 800 degrees
Steak all done. Got a nice char on it
Taters all done. Man I like the way these look.
Steak and taters plated with a basic salad
Money shot
Recently I've done Mexican, Italian, German, smoked brisket, and it was time to get back to basics. Hard to beat a big ol steak and some taters. We loved the steak but that mashed potato casserole was to die for. Absolutely outstanding and the star of the show. I say that only because we are accustomed to the steaks but this was a whole new approach to doing potatoes and we both loved it. Not gonna be the last time I do it this way, that's for sure. Actually we are looking forward to having friends over and sharing this with them. All in all another quick but gratifying meal. I'll take those almost any day.
Well y'all take care, stay safe, and be well. I have no clue what may be up my sleeve for the next few days but hopefully I can come up with something interesting.
