On my way back here to MS for the day/night, I picked up a nice T-Bone, which I'll cook medium rare.... and serve it with a big-arse kosher salted baked potato. Lived on gaspacho for the past couple of days....looking forward to some RED MEAT.:)

Similar...Chile rubbed Chicken Breast. Brennan's old recipe for Chicken Lazone. Seventeen YO daughter said...AMAZING! It was good! Only takes a few minutes start to finish.

Took it easy tonight...Beef roast cooking in the crock pot...

We've been on a BBQ Shrimp kick lately. It is so easy and fun; we alter the recipe a little each time in an effort to cut back on the butter. We've got it down to one stick per 2 lbs of shrimp. We add a lot of Chef John Folse's outstanding Louisiana Olive Oil and my wife adds white wine, while this past Sunday I had the reins, and opted for half a Heineken in place of the wine. It turned out great!

We just set the casserole dish in the middle of the table and surround it with French Bread and company.

Panko crusted shrimp with roasted tomato vodka sauce. A fresh killer chili and a drizzle of basil oil brightened it up.

Last night, we had steak tacos, with grilled, marinated sirloin, cheese, sour cream, carmelized onion, corn and/or flour tortillas and two different salsas. Outstanding.

I have a nice big sirloin tip steak I plan on cooking tonight. What do you use as a marinate?

I used a store bought argentinian (chimichurri) marinade from WInn Dixie (I was ina a hurry; I usually make my own marinades). It was good.

I also reallly like the Goya mojo marinade, for a store bought.

If you want to make your own, use some citrus juice, cumin, corriander, balck pepper, salt, and whatver other seasonings you want to use (garlic, red pepper, white pepper, etc.). Add a little soy and/or worstechire sauce. Do not mairnate for too long, 30-45 minutes is plenty.
