Sunday Night Steaks

We were originally going to go out for dinner tonight but our plans got changed.  I hadn't planned dinner for tonight, so I went into the freezer and the first thing I saw were some Rib Steaks so I pulled those out.  I had some Russet Potatoes that I could bake and I had gotten some lovely red and yellow beets from Door to Door Organics this week, so I threw them into the oven to roast and saved the greens to mix with a half bag of spinach that was in the fridge for Sauteed Greens.

So I went back to my post from Saturday and edited in dinner for tonight on my Weekly Menu. Voila...dinner is planned.

It doesn't get much easier than grilled steaks...especially for me, since Frank does the grilling LOL.  The beets are simply wrapped in foil and roasted until fork tender and then tossed in a balsamic glaze.  You can find the recipe here.  Simply eliminate the carrots and substitute yellow beets.  The Potatoes get wrapped in foil and baked along with the beets.  And the greens need only be washed, chopped and sauteed with bacon, onions and garlic for a delicious side dish.

Cook diced bacon until crisp.

Add onions and garlic, saute until tender and fragrant.

Add Greens and saute quickly until wilted.

Sauteed Greens

2 slices of bacon, diced

1/2 small onion, diced
