flat iron steak & seasoned onion rings
This morning, I had the pleasure of waking up to a roaring and rumbling thunder storm. In my experience, there’s almost nothing quite as enjoyable as waking up to thunderstorm at 7:30 on a Sunday morning and simply laying in bed enjoying the sound of the thunder and the rain, especially since I didn’t have to be anywhere for the next few hours. An additional joy of a nice spring thunder storm is the peaceful weather it leaves in its wake. This weather just happens to be perfect for grilling out!
The thunderstorm passed and the day went on, and upon the arrival of dinner time I decided it necessary to grill a steak. In my last post, I mentioned the purchase of a new house. This house just happened to come with a brick charcoal grill in the back yard. Now anyone who’s ever used a charcoal grill before knows that when you light up the coals, you can’t JUST grill one steak. Unlike their gas counterparts, you cannot simply turn off a charcoal grill when you’re done with it, so you might as well utilize it while it’s hot. So my one steak turned into a steak, some seasoned onion rings, and lemon pepper chicken.

I’ve mentioned before that some for the food I prepare is pretty tasty, but tonight’s selection from the grill easily takes the cake. At the risk of sounding full of myself, I can cook some very tasty food. Tonight, however, I blew my own expectations completely out of the water. As I was eating what I’d just taken off the grill, I was so overwhelmed by the goodness of what I was tasting that I had to stop and raise my arms in the air as if I had just scored a touchdown. I thought to myself, how is this so good – and then I thought of all of you. You have to try this! It was, simply put, amazing. If you have a charcoal grill, light it up tonight and take these simple yet incredible recipes for a spin. I promise you, you won’t regret it.
Oh, and invite your friends, neighbors, family, coworkers – whoever. Upon tasting this, you will have an overwhelming urge to share your creation with everyone you know! Yes, it’s that good.
pure enjoyment
Happy grilling!
