You just can’t beat steak and potatoes on the griddle! Here’s a recipe that’s as easy as it gets and tastes even better than it looks!

Ingredients
• 2 large sirloin steaks, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp @fourthandheart truffle ghee
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp chili powder
• ¾ tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
• 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme (leaves only, or stripped)
• 1 small sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional for finishing

1. Pat sirloin dry and cut into 1-inch cubes. The drier the surface, the better the sear.
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, Worcestershire, ghee, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary, you can add a bit of olive oil to help@if needed as well.
Add the steak bites and toss well to coat. Let rest 15–30 minutes at room temp while your griddle heats up.
3. Preheat your @traegergrills or griddle to medium-high (around 425°F).
Lightly oil the surface. Spread steak bites in a single layer and let them sizzle undisturbed for about 2 minutes per side until browned and caramelized. Don’t overcrowd or they’ll steam.
4. Drop in butter and minced garlic during the last 30–45 seconds. Toss the bites through the melted butter so the herbs get glossy and aromatic.
5. Remove from heat and rest 2–3 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of coarse salt or chopped herbs before serving.

I let my kids pick the menu, and it actually turned out pretty good! The steak bites were a win, of course we all love skillet potatoes and peppers, and Lily’s only request right now is @kraft_brand Mac and cheese, but I don’t know why it never crossed anyone’s mind to include a vegetable 🤷‍♂️

Steak Bites:
2 large sirloin steaks, about 1½ lbs total
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp @fourthandheart truffle ghee
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp chili powder
¾ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp dried thyme
¼ tsp dried rosemary, crushed
1 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional for finishing)

Cut steak into 1-inch cubes and pat dry.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, Worcestershire, olive oil, and all seasonings. Add the steak and toss to coat. Let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes while you heat your griddle.
Preheat the griddle to medium-high, around 425°F. Add truffle ghee and lay the steak bites in a single layer.
Let them sizzle for about 2 minutes per side until browned and caramelized.
Add butter or more truffle ghee and minced garlic during the last 30 seconds and toss to coat.
Rest a few minutes, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot.

Skillet potatoes:
4 to 5 medium potatoes, diced 3/8” to 1/2”
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 to 3 tbsp bacon grease or ghee
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: crumbled bacon, fresh parsley, or shredded cheese

Preheat your @traegergrills (or any griddle) on medium low.
Add bacon grease and let it shimmer.
Toss on the potatoes and onions first and let them cook until the edges start to brown. Try not to stir too much so they can crisp up.
Add the bell pepper and keep cooking until everything is golden and tender.
Stir in garlic during the last few minutes so it gets fragrant without burning.
Season with salt and pepper, then top with crumbled bacon if you want to take it up a notch.

There’s nothing better than weekends with family and good food. I surprised my dad with a Blackstone for his birthday and we finally broke it in the best way we know how: a big family breakfast. Memories like these are what it’s all about! #cooking #blackstone #breakfast #pancakes #griddle #familybreakfast #bates #family #outdoorcooking #fathersday #dad #dadlife

You can’t beat a good bowl of chili and this one is gonna warm your soul! ❤️
We made a quick trip to @krogerco for the essentials: @redgoldtomatoes @bushsbeans and @kettleandfire beef broth. Then we tossed everything in the Dutch oven (or slow cooker) and let it simmer until dinner.

I hope she craves this one a lot for the next 9 months. When I was growing up I thought grilled sirloin with A1 sauce and a baked potato were the height of fine dining, and even though I’ve upgraded to ribeye, there just something special about a simple, quality steak and baked potato. Ain’t nothing special here, just salt, pepper, and a hot @smitheyironware cast iron skillet. While I love my pan sauces, I have to admit, there’s something about @a1originalsauce every once in a while!

To be honest, I make fresh pasta probably more for myself than anyone, because once you have tasted rich, fresh, homemade pasta, the boxed stuff just isn’t as good… this is a simple pasta dough recipe that I use for any everything from fettuccine to ravioli!

• 2 cups (250 g) 00 flour
• 1 ½ cups (200 g) semolina flour
• 4 whole eggs
• 2–4egg yolks (4 makes it very rich and you will need to add a bit of flour most of the time but I like it rich)

Method
1. Sift the flour into a mound on a board or countertop.(or use a bowl if preferred). Make a deep well in the center.
2. Add the eggs and yolks. Beat gently with a fork, pulling in flour gradually.
3. Knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be firm, not sticky.
4. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest 30–60 minutes at room temperature.
5. Roll out with a pasta machine to thin sheets (setting 6–7, depending on machines use a @marcatopasta ). Cut into fettuccine (about 6–7 mm wide).
6. Dust with semolina and keep lightly floured so strands don’t stick.
