Sleet Steaks

[ZILLA]

I just finished dinner. I grilled two sirloins with a modified rub. I used my regular beef rub and added ground clove and ground coffee beans. It was really good. Served it with roasted roots and field green salad. I stole the idea from Steve R. of the BBQ Bible books. He had something similar in the rub and sauce book called Bon Fire Rub. It finally got chilly here, 34 degrees and sleet at grill time, 27 with the wind chill. Supposed to be 31 for a low. Not too bad for south Texas. My wife made lemon iced Scottish short breads for dessert. One bottle of Gnarley Head Old Vine Zin, and one of Toasted Head Meritage. Nice dinner.

What is roasted roots?

sounds like a nice dinner, Zilla. That rub sounds good. I do a similar thing with Instant Espresso powder in the rub[the only thing I ever use instant coffee for.] The Old Vine Zin sounds special too.

What is roasted roots?

Quartered new potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, onions, chopped garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper. Toss with oils add S&P and roast at 350 till roots are done. HMMMMMM! You will be a hero! Any combo of the above can be used.

Kick that oven temp up to 400-425, make sure you anoint with evoo, sprinke a little rosemary [fresh is best, but dried will do]. Roast till veggies are caramelized---you will be as superhero.

Sweet potatoes, and any winter squash, like butternut[my favorite] can be added also.

You are 100% correct. That would be great!

Zilla, I do it like that around here all the time.
