KERRY'S GRILLED STEAK OVER SPINACH

KERRY'S GRILLED STEAK OVER SPINACH



Anyone that knows me knows how much I love summertime. I love the weather, the beach,   boating, and of course cooking on the grill. So I don’t care if it’s winter.  I just slide my grill closer to the door and enjoy the food and memories of past summers. Maybe this one will inspire you to do it too.







Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves minced

2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon oregano

1/8 teaspoon pepper 
1 pound shell steak
1 bag baby spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion
1 container of mushrooms sliced
4 red potatoes 

In a small bowl combine three minced garlic cloves, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, thyme, oregano and pepper. Put the steak in a zip lock bag and coat all sides with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight (the longer the better).
Clean and cut the potatoes in half. Boil them until tender. Drain and reserve in a bowl.

Fire up the grill! Turn it up to the medium - high setting. Grill steak on one side 5 to 6 minutes. Then turn it over and grill for another 5 to 6 minutes. I like my steak medium rare. So adjust cooking time to your liking. At the same time add the potatoes until they are  grilled. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile heat a pan on the stove with the olive oil and remaining minced garlic, onion. Cook for 3 minutes then add mushrooms and spinach. Cook till spinach is wilted. You are ready to slice the steak across the grain and lay over a bed of spinach. Add the potatoes and enjoy!
