Steak Dinner For Two

All of the beef at Kroger this weekend including steaks were half of the price per pound than usual. I got them and decided at the store what to serve them with, which of course was super easy, potatoes and something creamy! I ended up serving them with Smashed Red Potatoes and Steamed Broccoli with Cheese Sauce.

For the steaks I only seasoned them with salt and pepper before grilling them.

Smashed Red Potatoes

Ingredients
Serves 2

6 red potatoes
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper
1 tsp garlic salt

Directions

Boil a large pot of water on the stove. Once boiling place the potatoes in the pot. Cook them unil soft, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes. Place them evenly on foil. Take a pint glass and using tongs to told them in place slightly smash them by pressing down on the glass. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Place the foil with potatoes on the grill and grill for about 25 minutes until golden brown. Do not disturb the potatoes or they will fall apart. The bottom will be more cooked but will get nice and crispy.

Steamed Broccoli with Cheese Sauce

Ingredients
Serves 2

1 head broccoli
1 cup water
4 oz Velveta cheese
1/4 cup milk

Directions

Steam the broccoli in the water on the stove until cooked, about 15 minutes, and drain. Heat the Velveta and milk in the microwave for 1 minutes. Take out and vigorously stir with a fork until creamy. Serve the broccoli with the cheese sauce.
