Grilled Steak & Black Bean Celery

The perfect lunch or dinner. This is what comes out of not going to the store in a week... random things that come together with finesse.



Ingredients:

- Round Roast, Sliced thin
- 3 celery stalked, diced
- 20 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 can black beans
- 1.5 cups minute rice
- fresh parsley
- olive oil
- pinch of vegetable bullion
- garlic powder
- smoked paprika
- oregano
- crushed red pepper
- salt
- pepper

To Make:
In a medium pot, drizzle with olive oil, add garlic and celery and cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes until the celery is tender. Season with salt and pepper.

In another medium pot, fill with 2 cups of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook 1.5cups of minute rice until rice is tender.

Add in the black beans and season with 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Add in 1/2 cup of water and a pinch of vegetable bullion. Stir together and cover. Leave on medium low heat while the meat cooks.

In a cast iron skillet, or grill pan, drizzle with olive oil and set on stove. Turn stove to medium heat. Pound 2 slices of beef and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano. Once the grill is hot, lay gently on the stove. Cook each side about 5 minutes, depending on how you like your steak cooked.

To plate:
place a scoop of rice on a plate, top with black beans and plate meat on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Marinated & Grilled T-Bone Steak

The key to grilling a perfect piece of meat really comes down to the marinating that you do before hand. Hands down, the better and longer you marinate the meat for, the more delicious and juicy your meat will be.









Marinated & Grilled T-Bone Steak

Ingredients

- 1 T-bone steak
- Soy Sauce
- Asian Stir Fry Sauce
- Spicy Buffalo Sauce
- Salt, Pepper
- Olive Oil

Place your meat in a zip-lock bag and pour in the following:

1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
2 Tablespoons of Spicy Buffalo Sauce
2 Tablespoons of Asian Stir Fry Sauce
2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce
1/4 tsp. of Salt
1/4 tsp. of Pepper

Close the bag and move the meat around to mix all of the ingredients. Leave sit in the refrigerator prior to grilling, preferably several hours, but at least while you prep the grill.

Depending on how well you like your meat done and depending on what type of grill you have, will completely depend on the grill times. Since my grill is not gas or electric, (it's old fashioned) I left the steak on at least 10 minutes on each side, give or take...

Very yummy... very delicious...

I served this with grilled zucchini (which you'll see in the background) and I marinated those in olive oil, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper just before throwing them on the grill :-)
