What a Bone!





Cathy and I had been to a new to us restaurant named: Salt’s Cure in West Hollywood. We had a pork chop and it had an incredibly long bone. I thought it was an amazing presentation. I took the bone home and showed it to Nate at McCall’s Meat and Fish. He said he could butcher meat like that. We returned to McCall’s one Saturday and saw a Rib-Eye Steak with the longest bone I had ever seen. Although we had dinner reservations for the next night, we cancelled them and bought the dinosaur-like steak. It was great tasting. If only we had a dog! It did fit (just barely on the grill).

To start, I made Bruschetta by coating bread with olive oil and chopped garlic, then grilling on the Weber next to the steak. Chopped tomatoes, basil, red onion, salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil made for a tasty starter. Next time I will add some capers.

We made fantastic Oven-Roasted Potatoes. They turned out extremely crispy. They are delicious. They are from The Splendid Table by Lynne Rossetto Kasper. This is a fabulous recipe. They are easy to make and we HIGHLY recommend them! You can find the recipe in our blog of: April 10, 2010. Click the date to get the recipe.

Fresh Corn on the Cob completed the dinner. We folded back the husks buttered the corn, added salt and pepper then squeezed fresh lime juice over the corn. We then folded the husk back up over the corn cob, covered each ear with aluminum foil and through it on the grill, rolling it around for about 5 minutes until all sides were cooked. It was perfect!
