Recipes #20 and 21: Balsamic Beer Beef and Spuds on a Stick!

Good old American food!  Steak, potatoes and corn on the cob!!  The recipe (#20) calls for sirloin marinaded in beer, tomato sauce, garlic and spices.  The Spuds on a Stick, (#21) just canned new potatoes marinanded in melted butter and parsley for 15 minutes.  Each was grilled for 15 or 20 minutes and turned once halfway through.

The corn was as described before:  Soaked for 30 minutes in their husks, then grilled for 30-45 minutes in their husks.  Remove the husk and eat.  No better way to make corn on the cob.  Flavorful and al dente!

All in all we'll give it 3 out of 5 stars.  It was pretty good, but it was just grilled steak after all. And the marinade actually overwhelmed the natural flavor of the steak. Nothing new or startlingly original about it, and it probably would have been better smoked with mesquite wood anyway..
