take my word for it wednesday..steak edition
i recently got a nice sized tri tip for sunday supper..it was on sale.. now anyone who knows me knows i am a sucker for a sale.. actually i try not to buy anything thats not on sale.. i am not one of those extreme couponers, though i kinda wish i was.. so for sunday supper i grilled it and we had steak, steak fries and a salad.. then the next night we had a wonderful steak salad with fresh veggies and spicy smoky thousand island dressing.. then last night (i still had alot left over) pete made himself a steak quesadilla which he declared a work of art.. whereas i took a couple of slices of meat put on a roll with my smokey spicy thousand island dressing and had a sandwich... now you have to take my word for it.. these recipes were awesome!! and i really wish i had taken a pic of salad it was very pretty!! I was inspired by this recipe here for the steak.. but didn't follow it exactly..
