Big Steak...

Tonight's dinner -- BIG STEAK on the kamado, marinaded in lots of garlic and other good stuff.  We bought a big roast and decided to butcher it ourselves... after all, how hard can that be?  (We will find out soon enough...)
We took some time to trim off the fat, there was not much there.
We got 2 giant steaks (one is tonight's dinner) 2 smaller steaks, 1 roast and 1 tip that we will use for a stir fry.  Not bad for a $29.00 roast (Top sirloin roast) - cheaper per pound than chicken!
Tonight's dinner - One GIANT steak - we will need help eating this.
Need to start with a marinade - this one will be with olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, salt, pepper and lots of garlic.
Did I mention lots of garlic?
My helper adding the dijon mustard.
There was a bit of red wine left, so we added it too.
Into the fridge to marinate...
Need to shovel the deck before BBQing or do we call it Kamadoing?   I guess we can just call it grilling?!
Oops, how did that get in there?
Grill starting - needs to warm.
While the grill warmed we prepared onions and potatoes.
With olive oil, salt and pepper -- for the grill.
Mmmmm, grill is ready for the steak...
And there it is!
Salad - topped with feta, capers, red onions and tomatoes.
Cooked perfectly.
The final dinner plate.

Yes, these pictures were over kill, but the meal was amazing!!!   We worked together for this one and it was better than the pictures tell.
