This is one of my favorite summertime meals. It’s easy to buy, prep and cook. With only four ingredients you would never guess something could taste so good.

Ingredients

1. Sirloin steak
2. Steak seasoning ( salt and pepper is an excellent substitute)
3. Corn on cob, husked
4. Mushrooms

Prep:

• Apply steak seasoning liberally to steak.
• Wrap mushrooms and corn in tin foil.

Cook:

• Cook an very hot grill until steak is done to liking. About 8-9 minutes for me.

For 4th of July I made hamburgers with corn and snap peas. There is nothing better than a big ole hamburger to celebrate with on the 4th. I love lots of taste so I added pepper jack cheese with onions and red peppers to top it all off.

A good hamburger is one of my all time favorites. I wanted something tasty and real with this hamburger so I decieded to make my own ground beef. To start out with I picked up two rib eye steaks. I don’t have a meat grinder but I do have a food processor. I read online that steaks will work better in the food processor if they are partially frozen. After cutting off the steak bone I put the steaks in the freezer for about 2 hours. Once they were partially frozen I removed from the freezer and cut up into smaller squares. They ground up amazingly fast in the food processor. There you have it — gound beef. Season with a liberal amount of salt. I also seasoned with ground black pepper and ground rosemary.

To cook — It’s the grill man !

After grilling the burger — I topped with pepper jack cheese, sauteed yellow onions and sauteed red peppers.

To serve — I used kaiser rolls ( just make sure your hamburger is big enough) and BBQ sauce.

Side dishes — Snap peas grilled in oil and salted. Grilled corn seasoned with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Here is some really great tasting food we cooked up for the this years’ “Big Game” ( Boo Steelers).  It was an awesome feast and all the food was very appetizer-ish.

1. Home made potato chips. Slice thin ( use a mandolin) fry in vegetable oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic and parsley.

2. Home made pesto served on bread.

3. Smoked beef brisket served on bread for bite size sandwich snacks.

4. Beans !
