So I packed the grill and moved it to the inlaws….. almost mandatory don’t you think? With that I decided to do some grilling for everyone.
On the Menu
- Strip loin Steaks
- Grilled Zucchini
- Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions in a Balsamic Reduction
- Grilled Lemon Rosemary Baby Potatoes
The results were acceptable. I enjoyed everything overall although I found the steak to be just average. The meat was a bit tasteless and slightly overcooked (which was my fault). On the bright side, everyone’s plate was clean after the meal.
On the Steaks
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper
On the Potatoes
- Salt and Pepper
- Fresh Rosemary
- 1 Tsp. Butter
- Drizzle of Olive Oil
- Lemon Juice
In the Mushrooms
- Salt and Pepper
- Mushrooms
- Sweet Vidilia Onions
- Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/2 Tsp. Sugar
Zesty Tip: When grilling potatoes, the use of a tin foil plate is a great idea and eliminates the risk of the aluminum foil breaking open and losing your hard work.
I am so tired! I hope you have a great day. On the house front… the survey of the land was delayed for today so Ugh… I am staying positive but why do small things take so long to get accomplished.
Take care

Hang in there re: the house stuff.
In the meantime, keep cooking amazing meals like that posting the pictures – this one is an inspiration for the weekend!
The above picture of the licorice allsorts took me back to my childhood in England.
My hubby to be would love this post!
You said the steak was tasteless- how would you change it next time? Do you ever use a bbq sauce on it or anything?
@leah – Sometimes I use a bbq sauce or a rub but sometimes I don’t like to mask the flavor of the meat. I think this particular steak could have used a sauce.
Gotcha! I think I need to learn my steaks a bit more to make it easier to determine which one requires a sauce!
man! Your inlaws must love you
. Beautiful meal. Good luck with all the house stuff!
Oh my…this meal sounds perfect! I love grilled onions with steak. It’s the perfect combo. I’m not a huge potato person but these sound great!
