Fun

One person closes his eyes and tries to remember details asked by the others at the table: Color of the walls? What shirt is Dad wearing?

What are 3 things you're good at that took a lot of hard work and practice?

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.
