The Perfect Steak Dinner - 3 Dishes (and One Drink) to Food Nirvana

Here are four items that I think make the perfect steak dinner. Do all four. You won't disagree with me. What are the four?

Spicy Smoked Steak

Cook Steak

Cheese Fries

Seasoned Green Beans

Homemade Milkshake

I'm getting hungry, so let's get started.

Spicy Smoked Steak

2 pounds of steak (round steak works fine)

MSG (sold as Accent in the seasoning section)

1 tablespoon of butter

1/4 cup cider vinegar

2 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 eight ounce can of tomato sauce

1 large can mushrooms

1 banana pepper

2 bell green peppers

2 mid-sized onions

Some salt and pepper

Liquid smoke

Directions:

Tenderize the meat with a mallet and lightly coat the meat with the MSG powder. Take all the other ingredients, except the tomato sauce and put them on the top of the meat. It's important to keep it all on top.

Regarding the liquid smoke vary the amount you use to the amount of smokiness you want (don't overdo it, it's strong stuff). Pour the tomato sauce over the top of everything else.

Cover the steak snugly with foil. Poke holes in the foil. Cook it for half an hour at 400 degrees. It's a good idea to have a cookie sheet under the steak in the oven to catch drippings. Cover the cookie sheet with foil for easy clean up. Reduce heat to 200 degrees and continue cooking for an hour.

Cheesy Fries

3 potatoes (scrubbed and sliced in to French fry shapes)

3 tablespoons of melted butter

1/3 cup parmesan cheese (not fresh-grated)

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon paprika

1/2 chives

Directions:

Coat the fries in the butter. Mix the other ingredients together. Coat the fries in the mixture. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook them uncovered for forty minutes (less if you've thinly sliced them).

Seasoned Green Beans
10 fresh mushrooms

1 yellow onion

4 cups of frozen green beans

1 stick of butter

Mrs. Dash seasoning

Directions:

Chop the mushrooms and onions. Saute them until the onion is translucent. Heat the beans until they are tender. Drain the veggies and place them in a dish. Mix in the mushrooms, onion, butter, and Mrs. Dash.

Homemade Milkshake

4 cups of cold milk

4 cups of vanilla ice cream

Directions: Blend together in at high speed in a blender. Serves 4 to 5.

So there you have the perfect steak dinner. Personally, I think I'll fix this again tomorrow night. Good food is truly my weakness. Enjoy!
