Steak and Potatoes

Rib Steak and Baked Potato

Seriously?  Yes!  What the heck is wrong with a big honkin' steak from the butcher, and a baked potato with lots of butter, salt & pepper and sour cream?  Who needs salad or veggies.  Well OK actually we need to eat more but once in a while is perfectly fine. Hence the tiny bit of cuke and tomato, brought on by a guilty food conscience.

In this case, the steaks were hefty rib steaks (as opposed to ribeye steaks, which have no bone) from our local butcher. See the Cattlemen's Beef Board website for a cool "interactive meat case" that explains all the various types of beef and cuts.  Get some good sear marks on there, cook it medium-rare, and enjoy the wonderful flavour from the significant marbling present.

Next Time: bacon for the potato
