One person begins tapping or clapping a beat. The others try to follow along. When the leader stops, the last person to stop is out!

What is your most unusual talent? Can you demonstrate it?

This steak tip recipe is a favorite in the home of our Executive Director, Lynn Barendsen. Her elder son, Tano, nominated it as his favorite back-to-school family dinner. The rub originated from a Mario Batali recipe, and the Barendsen-Rossi family uses it on both beef and lamb for easy meals.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 lbs. steak tips (about 1 inch thick)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix all herbs, salt and pepper until combined.
Pat steak tips dry and coat with the rub.
Brush gently with olive oil.
Place on a preheated grill (or in a cast-iron skillet) and cook for about 5 minutes per side (for steak tips about 1 inch thick; for thicker meat, add a minute or two; for thinner meat, decrease the time) for medium-rare meat.
