Any Fun Weekend Plans?

Hey Cooks & Entertainers!...

It's finally the weekend! What to do, what to do....well it's August and those barbecues are still waiting to be fired up, the weather is still beautiful & the beach is never too far away. If you've already enjoyed the Neely's His & Hers Margaritas, you're probably itching to have fun this weekend. Why not throw an impromptu summer barbecue, and make something delicious from Bobby Flay's Grill It!

Grilled Steak with Balsamic-Rosemary Butter 

• 2 cups balsamic vinegar
• 2 tsp whole black peppercorns
• 2 tsp honey
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary leaves plus sprigs for garnish 
• 12 tbsp (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• Perfectly Grilled Steak (boneless rib-eye, NY strip, or filet mignon)

Perfectly Grilled Steak:

1. Heat grill to high and remove steaks from refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temp
2. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper
3. Place the steaks on the grill and let cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue grilling for 5 to 6 minutes for medium rare (internal temp of 135 F) 7 to 8 minutes for medium (140 F) or 9 to 10 for medium-well (150 F)
4. Remove steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Balsamic-Rosemary Butter:

1. Combine the vinegar and peppercorns in a small saucepan over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1/4 cup, 8 to 10 mins. Remove peppercorns, whisk in honey and rosemary, and let cool to room temperature
2. Combine the balsamic mixture with the butter and salt in a food processor, process until smooth. Scrape into a bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set slightly. (This can be made a day in advance and stored, covered in the fridge. Remove 15 minutes before serving)
3. Top each steak with a few tbsp of the butter and garnish with rosemary sprigs

Serve with a nice summer salad, grill some veggies, and throw in some french fries if you want! Always include some nice summery cocktails too :)

ENJOY!!
