Coffee Rubbed NY Strip

For my first Saturday making dinner I decided to use some of the NY Strip my parents gave me for Christmas.

Yum!

To add some flavoring I tweaked a Coffee rub that I found online.  I used 1 Tbsp of coffee beans (ground finely), 1 Tbsp of season-all, 1/2 Tbsp of garlic powder and 1/2 Tbsp of Salt, sprinkle some paprika and some pepper and mix it all together.

Dip the steak in oil then rub that all over...mmmm so good.

Throw the steaks on the grill and it's pure yumminess.

For a side I made garlic sauteed green beans.  Just throw some garlic into a pan with olive oil until it's nice and golden,

I LOVE the smell of sauteed garlic!

Throw in some cooked green beans and toss around for a few seconds.  Mmmm!

We also had some corn bread muffins with some nice honey drizzled on them...

Overall a great meal.  The steak turned out AMAZING.  Great flavor and I managed to cook them to a perfect medium with all the juices locked in.  Sarah even ate most of hers and said it was the best steak she's ever had.  

My New Blog

Awhile ago I told Sarah (my wife) that I wanted to start making dinner Saturday nights.  Why Saturday? Well usually the dinner I make takes awhile and therefore since we eat an early dinner I wouldn't have time to do it on week nights.  Well, it turned out that we ended up dropping this on the wayside.  Life got in they way.  Well, starting in 2013 I'm going to make this a rule again.  And in order to help me stay on top of it, I figured I'd have some fun with it and blog about each meal.  Most of the meals will be found online in various places and so I will give the source but I will also likely make changes to them as I go.  Most people won't care about what I make for dinner but I know a few who might be interested in what new recipes I'm trying so this blog is for them.  I hope you enjoy and I'll see you in January!
