Ultimate Beef Steak

I have been cooking steak for many years...this is the best way to do it that I have ever tried. Try it...you will love it too I am sure!

A certain amount of good steak...strip loin, tenderloin, sirloin, t-bone!

Brush each steak on both sides with olive oil.
Generously salt and pepper on both sides WITH (tada...the secret ingredients)
1. Kosher Salt
2. Fresh ground pepper or course ground pepper.

Grill on BBQ for about 7-8 minutes per side on a medium heat.

Serve with pan fried mushrooms....olive oil, dash of white wine, kosher salt, and course ground pepper.

MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm!! This is delicious!
*This is also a very good way of cooking pork chops on the grill.*

Sweets for the SWEET

I have made both of these great recipes this week and they have turned out really well. The cookies live up to their name and what else can you say about strawberries except...DELICIOUS!!
