Grilled Bone in Ribeye Steak with BBQ Roasted New Potatoes.

Wholefoods was having a sale and I love a good Ribeye so grilled up this baby with a little coffee rub and some BBQ roasted new potatoes.

Rub steak out of fridge with coffee rub – I made some a while back so I always have a a can at the ready. let it sit and come close to room temp. Pat dry and grill them up.

I sometimes will put steak in freezer for 10-15 minutes before grilling this gives a nice crisp out side and it does not dry out the inside during cooking, but this I like the rib eye on the rare side so was not afraid of drying it out.

Put the potatoes in a little olive oil , salt pepper and rosemary, wrapped in tin foil with a few holes in it to vent the steam

I placed on the grill while heating up

I finished off open with cut side down on the flatten tin foil.

Texas Style Chili

We recently got back from a trip celebrating our 30 anniversary, had a great time twirling, sipping and spitting wines from Napa to Sonoma. we were befriended by two great ladies, sister in laws,  one was I believe 76 and the other 87 and a hot shit. Phyllis was from Texas and on one excursion we were tasting some local chili and she mumbled beans we don’t put beans in chili in Texas.  Well my wife was inspired and it was not long, this last weekend that I was confronted with another do you think you can make this. The first thing I noticed was brisket and I was sold, I love brisket and have a lot of different recipes take a look at them if you have a chance. I actually just had some for lunch, I love the way the different heats from the chilies come out as you eat.
