Birthday in Grinnell, Iowa


A new post from Rex in Grinnell, Iowa!

What did you make?
We grilled some Iowa top round sirloin on a coal fire outside in 30 degree weather. Alongside the steaks are bacon-wrapped asparagus and vegetable kebabs (potatoes, eggplant, red and green bell peppers, onions)

How long did it take?
The steaks were pretty large and took a couple of hours to grill (we bought a total of 10). Prep time was roughly half an hour for all of them, brushing them with a rub of worcestershire sauce, pepper, garlic powder, and a bunch of other random spices found in the cabinet. The vegetables took about 15-20 minutes to cook on a dying fire.

How did it taste? Would you make it again?
Tasted pretty good of course, everyone likes grilled meats! Steaks were very tender, but a little tough because of the cut (ribeyes have more fat and might be better for grilling). Vegetables were a little burnt at the edges, but otherwise good. Was a bit of an expensive meal that consumed a lot of time, so it would only be made again for special occasions.
