grilling steak

since i am now living in an apartment, i've stocked it up with various utensils, appliances, and lots of other stuff. i bought myself a nice little George Foreman grill (: this has been a good friend of mine, especially when it comes to grilling meats! my honorary roomie J and i have been cooking up stuff at least once a week, and we decided to get some steak in our tummies!

we went to whole foods and got us some New York strip steak, which wasn't that expensive - $5 covered both of our pieces. i had some sweet potatoes in the fridge, and we picked up a bundle of asparagus for about $4.

take some Chicago chophouse dry rub, add a bit of your own magic, rub it in, grill for a few minutes (by professional lil ol' me!), and you'll get a nice, juicy steak!



yumm. this really makes me want to do a full-out barbecue some time!

we did mashed jewel sweet potatoes with ginger (J pretty much did it all by herself; yay!), and that came out pretty nice as well. i think what both of us were really looking forward to was the grilled asparagus!



they were still crisp, yet juicy, but not hard. thank you George! (:

i think this beats out canteen (dining hall) food any day, no? (though i guess the canteen at Goldsmiths really wasn't that bad at all..)
