Simply T-Bone Steak

I must admit my plate looks far from cute, actually it looks like Fred Flinstone's dinner kind of plate with huge piece of meat, whole carrots and potato and barely sautéed mushroom. Well, actually, he was the inspiration for tonight's dinner at my place. This steak recipe was a no-brainer recipe; super easy and quick to make. Perfect for summer time, just light up your grill and pitch your meat and veggies in. Then you just chill out sipping your favorite beer while the meat is cooking. I am sure Fred Flinstone did this as well back then!

Ingredients: 

2 T-Bone steak 

2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

¾ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

¼ teaspoon ground coriander, or to taste

½ teaspoon ground turmeric, or to taste

6 medium carrots, well washed and baste with oil

2 potatoes, well washed  

2 cups of sliced mushroom (in my case it was about 10 mushrooms cut in 6)

2 garlic, chopped

1 tbsp butter

1 tsp olive oil (optional)

1 tbsp dried parsley 

salt and pepper

1. Preheat outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate to prevent the meat to stick on it,

2. Poke your well washed potatoes with fork and put it in the microwave for 5 minutes, 

3. In a small mixing bowl, mix the salt, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, coriander, and turmeric together and set aside,

4. Rub the steaks on all sides with the seasoning mixture. Set aside for 5 minutes. 

5. Cook the steak on the preheated grill to your desired degree of doneness (it took me about 4 to 4½ minutes per side for medium doneness, it really depends on how thick your meat and your grill heat). Put the potatoes and carrots on the grill as well. 

6. Meanwhile the meat is cooking, heat butter and olive oil on  medium heat in a skillet. Add the garlic and sauté briefly (just until the garlic release its nice cooking smell),  add the sliced mushroom, a pinch of salt and pepper and stir through. Lower the heat and let the mushroom slowly cooks. Once the mushroom are soften, add the parsley and stir gently. Turn off the heat and set aside.

7. Don't forget to check the meat once in awhile. Poke the meat and veggies with a fork to check their doneness if necessary.  

8. Once the meat and the veggies are ready, simply plate it with the mushroom aside. 

9. Serve with cold beer. Yummm!!

Happy Cooking!!

PS: Keep the salt and pepper bottle on the table just incase you need to sprinkle some on your carrot and or potatoes.
