Steak and Potatoes

Steak and French Fries - quite possibly the most perfect meal...for Bubba anyway! He loves cooking this and with the addition of our outdoor kitchen it has become not only possible, but a weekly event! The steaks were chuck-eye (a very cheap cut, but worth it!) They have Kosher salt and cracked black pepper on them. My dad (Papa) introduced them to me years ago. Papa would marinate them in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Either way they are delicious!

Our crop!

Fried Banana Peppers
Bubba also surprised me by frying the last of our banana peppers tonight. We planted half a dozen banana pepper plants this past spring and had great fun finding different ways to cook them! Our favorite is just to dip them in an egg wash (for 6 peppers use 2 eggs and 1/2 c. milk) and then in a flour,  cornmeal, salt, pepper and cayenne mix. We fry them at 425 degree corn oil. They are wonderful!
