Steak and shrimp

I usually post some nasty recipe I've found online, but Nick and Kelsey got me a BBQ grill for Father's Day, so I thought I'd put it to good use.

I marinated some flat iron steaks and made a different marinade for some shrimp.

The steak marinade:

¼ cup EVOO

2 T basalmic vinegar

2 cloves garlic

1 tsp Italian seasoning

salt and pepper

I scored the steaks with a knife to let the marinade soak in, then I put them in a sealed bag for a couple of hours.

 

Then I made a marinade for the shrimp:

3 cloves garlic

1/3 cup olive oil

1/4 cup tomato sauce

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Okay, I cheated some with this. The garlic came from a jar, and I used red wine instead of red wine vinegar. Fresh basil was not to be found., but I bought some chopped basil leaves in a jar.

I also made a dipping sauce for some French bread. Yum!

1/4 cup EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

5 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon crushed dried oregano

fresh ground black pepper

It was just a little too garlicky for me, but still tasty.

What goes with BBQ better than baked beans? I could have made baked beans, but I was feeling lazy, so I used a can of KC Masterpiece baked beans.

Let's go grilling!

Steaks.

Shrimp on the barbie.

Nick and I had quite a feast.

I made peach cobbler for dessert. Goes great with ice cream.

Over all, the shrimp could have been a little spicier, but I'm not complaining.

Until next time, bon appetit!
