September 3 - Celebrate with Rib Eye Steaks

Steaks are served at home only for special occasions. I got rib eye Angus steaks from a local supermarket 2 miles from Split Rock Resort where we are staying. I usually serve steaks with a potato dish but have used up all the potatoes for the potato gratin I prepared last night.

The kids are not used to special sauces or garnishing on their steaks yet. Apart from the marinade, I just grilled the steaks with butter. A tender, succulent, simple tasting steak is more satisfying than one that is smothered with an exotic (more often, difficult to prepare) sauce.
