I was ready for a burger fix, done flat iron style with a
good all over browning.
It about did me in today trimming the front yard and mowing,
almost 90 deg. I quit with the back yard
to do tomorrow.
For my sides I wanted some WOW roasted potatoes and a good
tomato salad. I had some nice Tennessee tomatoes to use. I made up my own salad
recipe.
Two large tomatoes, cut in wedges then in half
Some fresh basil sliced thin, I had 10 leaves
3 thin slices of Vidalia onion cut in half
1 bunch of trimmed asparagus, cut 1 inch and nuked for 1 ½ minutes
then cooled
3 TBS. White balsamic vinegar
1 TBS. Olive oil, I used extra light
A good pinch of coarse sea salt, or kosher
A few grinds of fresh pepper
Mix all together and chill for a few hours before serving.
I had some golden potatoes I precooked in the microwave and
then cooled in the fridge. When ready to cook I cut up the potatoes, poured
about 3 TBS. melted butter over, a pinch of coarse sea salt and some generous
shakes of WOW seasoning. They went into a basket and on the gas grill about 400
deg. for about a half hour to brown up.
I had 3 sirloin patties from my butcher, thawed for the
burgers. I seasoned up both sides well with some Tatonka Dust and in the fridge
a couple hours before grilling. They went on the Weber at 400 deg. on the flat
side of grill grates. 5 minutes then flipped for another 4 minutes. I had some
Kaiser buns sliced and buttered I toasted on the grill the last two minutes.
I had Tennessee tomatoes sliced, romaine lettuce and some
onion for my burger. The wife had mustard, lettuce, tomato and dill pickles on
her sandwich. I had mustard, smoky horseradish sauce, onion, lettuce and tomato
on mine. We both thought the tomato salad was a keeper and I must say the
burger was a great fix! I need to order some more WOW seasoning, it is getting
about standard for my potatoes.
