Roasted Garlic Potatoes

3-4 Potatoes
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Garlic Salt
Pepper

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut potatoes up into half inch thick squares. Put in bowl. Mix oil in with potatoes. Sprinkle garlic salt (I use a lot) and pepper to taste, and mix. Spread in 13x9 baking dish. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes, for 30-40 minutes (until you can easily stick a fork through potatoes). Served with the Steak 2 recipe above.

Cream Cheese Corn

16 oz. Corn
8 oz. Cream Cheese
1/2 c. Butter
Salt and Pepper

Cook/warm the corn. Drain. Add cream cheese and butter, heat until melted and creamy. Salt and pepper to taste.

- This is so good. For the two of us I use 1 can of corn, 4 oz. cream cheese, and 1/4 c. butter. Served with the Steak 2 recipe above.

Steaks

- Marinade -

1 c. Mr. Yoshida's Marinade & Cooking Sauce
1 c. Worcestershire Sauce
1 can Coke
BBQ Seasoning to taste, I use A LOT

-I try out different marinades all the time. This blend of ingredients turned out to be really good. I will definitely be using this recipe a lot. I used new york strip steaks this time. I marinate anywhere from 1-24 hours, depending on how much time I have in advance. These steaks were marinated for 3 hours, they had a lot of flavor. After marinating, Lucas cooked on the outside grill for about 10 minutes. We like ours cooked between medium rare to medium. Served with Sour Cream Potato Casserole and Creamed Corn.
