SEASON FOR GRILLING, BEEF










My husband loved grilled steaks.  In later years
he was unable to grill anymore.   He shared his 
grilling tips with me. He told me to use a instant
meat tenderizer if I didn't  have time to do a rub 
on my steaks.He hated a tough steaks and would
not eat them. I would grind the tough steak up in
the food processor and use them for taquitos.

I learned from a co-worker that chuck eye steaks
are the best kept secret in the meat department 
at the grocery store. I checked it out. I found out
that these steaks were  a lot cheaper than the rib 
eye and t-bone steaks.  I have been buying them
for the past 5 years. The problem is that I have to
go to the grocery store early to find them.There is
only a few left when I get there. I have had good 
luck with grilling these steaks. They have been full
of flavor and tender!



                              
 





 
STEAK & GRILLED SCALLIONS

4 chuck eye steaks
1 tsp mixed up pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 bunches scallions (8 pieces)
2 T oil


While charcoals are getting hot, prepare the steaks. Let steaks come  to  room temperature so they will cook evenly.  Brush both sides of steak with oil then sprinkle  them with pepper, salt, and garlic powder.

Grill both sides of steaks until they golden brown. Remove steaks from grill when they feel slightly 
firm to touch.  This will be a medium done steak
(avoid well done to prevent dry and tough steak).
Tent the steaks with foil until ready top serve.

Trim the ends of the scallions but leave them whole.  Toss the scallions with oil then sprinkle them with salt
and pepper. Grill the scallions until they are seared on both sides.  Serve with the steaks.
