One of my favorite things about summer is Grilling!
I love the way a burger or steak tastes when my hubby grills them just perfectly and I am always excited to let him take part in the meal making during the summer.
A couple days ago we headed over to Kmart and picked up some new grilling tools, you can see our shopping trip over Here.
He picked out a few new tools to use and we decided to put together an early Father’s Day meal
and share his grilling tips with everyone!
His favorite food to grill is steak, so I picked out some really yummy looking Ribeye’s. We like to rub Montreal Steak seasoning on both sides of the piece of meat before we grill.
Mushrooms and potatoes are one of our favorite sides
to grill with our steaks. I try to cut the vegetables up so they are the same size and grill evenly. My hubby puts them in aluminum foil with some butter and Seasoning salt.
Wrap them up tightly so that the butter doesn’t leak out.
One of my hubby’s grilling tips is to try and leave the meat alone. Don’t mess with it alot, know how thick your meat is and about how long it needs to cook and let it cook.
Here is another great tip, after the steak is done grilling, let it sit for 15 minutes to reabsorb the juices before you cut into it. We also put a slab of butter on top, for more flavor, it is amazing!
While the hubs was grilling, I made a couple things too. I love lemonade and years ago my friend Jenn shared an easy recipe from Lemon juice, water and sugar.
Here is the recipe that I use to make ours:
1 1/2 cups of Lemon Juice
8 cups of Water
1 3/4 cups of White sugar
Here is a yummy tip that I got from a friend, rim your glasses with a lemonade mix like Country Time. It is so pretty!
My boys loved having “fancy” drinks with their supper!
This is one of our favorite spots in the summer! We love eating out back on the porch, and it was gorgeous out the evening that we had our early Father’s Day meal!
I love setting a nice table to eat at and I am so excited to be able to use our porch out back now that it is summer. We will be grilling alot and eating together out here!
We have many more grilling parties planned this summer too and will enjoy BBQing with our new tools!
The little guy has been begging for little umbrelas for his drinks, and he was so excited to finally get to have them!
The steaks were perfect, a little pink in the middle and such great flavor! My hubby did his magic again!
We had a yummy new dessert too!
Homemade five minute strawberry Ice cream
{I will share this with you later in the week!}
