Learn to Grill a Steak

Since my landlord finally decided to add a deck behind my apartment, I was able to break out the mini Weber grill my sister and her hubby bought me for Christmas 2009!

I picked up a New York strip steak the other day, along with Stubb’s beef marinade (blend of garlic, soy & red pepper), and zucchini & squash as a side item.

With the steak marinating, I assembled my new grill, then followed the guidance of my brother-in-law in constructing my little charcoal pyramid. And then… Let there be fire!

After waiting about 10 minutes for the fire to die down, I started grilling my steak and veggies. About 15 minutes later, I had a great meal.

Sure, it was a little crispy on one half of the steak, but overall – considering it was my first attempt at grilling – I was very pleased.

So now, in addition to a new found obsession with baking cupcakes, I will be in hot pursuit of new grilling recipes. And just in time for summer too! I’m looking forward to many evenings sitting out on my deck and grilling a tasty dinner.
