New York Anniversary

[Cliff Bartlett]

New York Steak that is. My wife and I had our anniversary this week and we decided to splurge on a couple of Costco's New York Steaks. Sided them up with Potatoes au Gratin and an acorn squash. Made for a very tasty meal.

These guys were Prime, 2.17 pounds total weight between the two. Seasoned with salt and pepper only and let them sit uncovered in the fridge for a couple of hours.

Earlier in the day I'd put together the Potatoes au Gratin. Used my little two quart Lodge Dutch Oven.

After the potatoes I halved an acorn squash and placed a spoonful of a stuffing I made from brown sugar, softened butter, chopped walnuts and some nutmeg.

Foiled the DO for the first 20 minutes.

Then cooked an additional 40 minutes uncovered.

Got the New Yorks going over the Vortex.

This was truely an amazing crust on the steaks.

About a cup of sharp cheddar on for the last 4 or 5 minutes. Tried to fill with too many potatoes and it got a little messy.

Got the meat up to around 130 and pulled.

Sides too.

Dinner time.

Last night we had the left overs. My wife made us steak sandwiches on sourdough with her onion rings. Delicious.

This was a great way to celebrate our anniversary! That Costco meat was fabulous. The potatoes were really tasty too. Happy Hump Day everyone and thanks for looking.

Happy anniversary you two! That to me that is the perfect way to celebrate, a great home cooked meal. Steak and sides look fantastic.
Never thought to use the vortex to sear a steak, will be doing that soon.
