Due to a massive summer storm, the evening's festivities, as well as the attendance, were toned down however, that did not put a damper on the main event: DINNER
Our host (HOS & CMS) supplied top of the line Rib Eye's which, knowing the quality, I simply prepared by rubbing them with fresh garlic and olive oil, seasoned as well with salt and pepper. In addition, I rubbed down a Swordfish steak that I caught earlier in the day on the lake (JOKE) with olive oil, salt & pepper.
Swordfish & Steak ready to go.......
In addition, we grilled delicious sweet corn from the farm to accompany the evening's protein.
As you can see, we were cooking with SERIOUS HEAT (notice the white hardwood charcoal=HOT) The steaks were seared over the open grill and we turned the corn every 3 minutes. After the steaks were seared, we added the fish.
I prefer my steak rare, so I removed it after a total of 7 Minutes. As you can see below, a perfect sear by HMS, left the steak juicy and delicious on the inside................

Simplicity at its finest. No need for fancy marinades and sauces tonight. Just plaine ole great tasting steak and fish. Happy 4th of July to all.....

Is it awkward that I'm sitting at my cube at 9:12am on a Tuesday, and my mouth is wattering from the steak photos above?
