Grilled Rib-eye Steaks
Yay for summer barbecues! John made these incredibly juicy and tender Rib-eye Steaks.
Rub into each side of the steaks:
Sea Salt
Ground Pepper
Basil
Garlic
1 Tablespoon Ruby Port
Grill over medium-high flame for 5 minutes on each side, then move off flame and continue to grill for up to 15 minutes – depending on desired level of doneness.
Iron Skillet Roasted Potatoes
John perfected these potatoes using a seasoned cast-iron skillet on the grill. 1 pound assorted small potatoes – white, red, or gold, quatered
1/2 half medium onion, sliced
Place in pan and coat in olive oil
Sprinkle with Tony Chacere’s Original Creole Seasoning
Place pan on the grill over a high flame, stirring potatoes every 10 minutes until they’re roasted brown and the onions are carmelized.
Grilled Asparagus
Clean 1 bunch of Asparagus and snap ends off.
Place them in a foil packet.
Drizzle with Citrus Olive Oil.
Sprinkle with Sunny Spain Seasoning and Sea Salt.
Seal foil pouch and grill over indirect heat on top shelf of grill for 5 minutes on each side.
Chris has a beautiful blog called “The Cafe Sucre Farine“. When I saw her post for this cake, I knew I had to make it! Although Chris featured a sheet cake, she said you can use the same batter for a number of different cakes. I decided to bake mine in a 9 x 13 inch pan – I recommend if you do this, you reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake it for 40 minutes. I also used about 2 cups of fresh Blueberries.
The cake is moist and delicious, but it’s really the White Chocolate Buttercream Icing that sets it apart! It’s so delicious that it would be perfect on anything from Lemon Pound Cake to Red Velvet Cake to Brownies!
Enjoy!
