Tri-Tip Steak & Sauteed Sweet Potatoes

This has become one of our favorite meals. A bit of background is needed - I often tease Jon that he has a part-time job of getting us good food. He makes weekly runs to a farm to get us our milk, a farmer's market to get eggs, yogurt, applesauce and some produce, a butcher to get our meat and another dairy place to get our butter!

Our butcher, Butcher Bill, recommended we try a tri-tip steak and gave us some instructions on how to cook it. This is such a great summer meal when served with sweet potatoes that have been baked {400 degrees for 45 minutes}, sliced w/ skins left on and then sauteed in olive oil and sea salt until they are a little golden crispy. This salad rounds out the meal nicely.

Tri-tip steak marinade:

3/4 c. Lea & Perrins worcestershire sauce

2 Tbsp. montreal seasoning

Marinate the steak for at least several hours. Grill on medium heat (300-350) for 45 minutes, rotating often and basting with the marinade. Discard the rest of the marinade. After the steak is done, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

The inspiration

For a couple of years I have been typing up recipes and dreaming of getting them all into a book - one place that I can look for all of our go-to recipes we've compiled over the first 15 years of our marriage. But I hit a slump and became discouraged that this was never going to happen. Until the other night when I was talking to my friends Julie and Eric and they loved the idea, and Eric suggested that instead of a book, I create a blog! This way I could post what I already have typed up, it would all be in one spot, and maybe someday if I ever do actually get it put into a cookbook, it will be ready!
