Autumn has been in full swing and winter is just around the corner. Although my crockpot season has started our temps have been gorgeous so our grilling season hasn’t quite ended yet. Before I relent and stash the grill for the winter, I wanted to grill dinner one more time…

Whether using this on beef, poultry of vegetables, this grilling rub is fantastic all year-long.

Young Wifey’s Grilling Rub

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. smoked paprika, 2 Tbsp. dried parsley, 1 Tbsp. dried oregano, 4 tsp. hot chili powder, 2 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. cumin, 2 tsp. fresh ground pink Himalayan salt, 1 tsp. fresh cracked tricolor black pepper, 1/2 tsp. ground mustard

Directions: Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight jar.

To Use:  Rub onto meat or vegetables with a small amount of olive oil. Allow meat to come to room temperature before grilling.

Usually our grill makes a reappearance in late February when I want to chase away the winter…

XOXO,

Steak & Pepper Strips

Since I’m pesco-pollo vegetarian, Hubster was overdue for some red meat (of course when we go out to eat, he usually orders chicken). Other than the venison I refuse to cook make him prepare himself, It’s been a few months since he’s had red meat for dinner. So I made this quick and easy steak dinner for him.

Hubster's Steak & Pepper Strips

 

Ingredients:
thin cut steak, 1 yellow pepper, 1 orange pepper, 1 green pepper, 1 red pepper, 1 shallot, white wine, extra virgin olive oil, fresh cracked black pepper, fresh ground sea salt

Directions:
Rub both sides of steak with olive oil and season with salt & pepper, let set at room temperature for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cut steak in long thin strips. Slice peppers and shallots and toss in with steak. Transfer to baking tray and drizzle with white wine. Bake until strips are done to your liking. Hubster’s took about 10  minutes.

Hubster thought the baked pear and butternut squash I made last night was the perfect accompaniment to this steak. That’s the first time he’s actually complimented the pairing of side dishes with the main course. Could it be that he’s learning about food?..

What is something you prepare for your sweetie, that you don’t consume?

Steak ala Hubster
Last week was Hubster’s birthday, and his birthday dinner is the obvious choice… Since I don’t make red meat for him often, it’s time for him to get (the cliché) slab of juicy steak…
