Cowboy Steak

So I am blogging about this two days late. I made something called cowboy steak. I marinated the steak with pepper (whole, uncracked), thyme, oregano, paprika and coarse salt. This marinated for 5 hours. Then grilled it on a grill pan on the stove.

Grilled on high for 4 min a side then low and covered for 8 min a side.

I also made mashed potatoes out of finger potatoes that were boiled in "scented water". This is just the recipes fancy word for water that has seasonings in it. But sounds better to say scented water. Just like one would not say my kids bath water is dirty, it is scented. Linguistics is the only difference. Same thing, but one sounds nicer. So my finger potatoes has a boil in scented water.  

Once the steaks were cooked I removed them and covered them. I then cooked onions and mini mushrooms. I used the drippings from the steaks as a saute sauce for the steaks. The whole thing was good. Not great but good and my family is HUGE meat eaters so it would have to be pretty bad for the kids not to finish this dish. They did not let me down and ate all that I gave them.
