Marinated Ribeye Steaks

Ingredients

6 Ribeye steaks, 10-12 ounces each

3 Tbl Lemon pepper

1 cup soy sauce

1 Tbl onion powder

1 Tbl garlic powder

1 TbL sugar

1 tsp dry ginger

1 tsp paprika

2 Tbl Garlic, minced

2 Tbl Liquid Smoke

2 Tbl Steak seasoning

Instructions

Mix all ingredients except the steak seasoning together in a bowl. Place the steaks in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag (no more than 2 steaks per bag) and pour enough marinade into the bag to cover the steaks halfway when they are laying flat. Squeeze all excess air out the bag and seal. Allow the steaks to marinate in the refrigerator, lying flat, for no longer then two hours. Remove steaks from refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.

Sprinkle the Ribeyes with the steak seasoning

Prepare grill and cook steaks over direct-high heat cooking until desired doneness is reached, about 10-12 minutes for medium rare. Turn the steaks once during cooking.

Yield: 6 servings

Grilled Tripletail with Lump Crab and Chive Beurre Blanc

Tripletail has always been my favorite Gulf fish. The old-timers used to say, "If you can see a tripletail, you can catch a tripletail." They have this peculiar habit of floating near the surface around buoys, crab traps, and other floating objects, often lying on their sides and appearing almost lifeless. This behavior makes them easy to spot and, if you're quick with your cast, easy to hook. The meat is mild, white, and flaky—perfect for grilling. Pairing it with lump crab and a chive beurre blanc elevates this dish to something truly special.

Potato Gratin

Potatoes are the one vegetable I could never give up. Fried, roasted, mashed, or scalloped—doesn’t matter, they’re always on the table in one form or another. This gratin is my favorite way to make them feel a little more special. It’s rich, creamy, and just decadent enough to make it feel like you’re putting in some extra effort. There’s a good bit of cheese in this recipe, but that’s exactly how it should be. The combination of sharp white Cheddar, gruyere, and Parmesan gives it the perfect balance of nuttiness, creaminess, and tang. And using Yukon gold potatoes instead of russets makes a big difference. They have just the right amount of starch to get creamy without getting mushy. This dish is a showstopper on the holiday table, but I’d eat it on a random Tuesday without hesitation.
