A friend of mine taught me how to make those potatoes and onions, we put a bit of Greek Seasoning along with the butter.. she called them HOBO Potatoes… don’t know why.. but they are good..[;)]
Jim, that must be McNamara’s band.
DD, I do those potatoes in the oven, love em. For me the steak is just a wee bit overcooked, nice thing about a good steak is that it will still taste great. I would love to dig into that one. I recently broke down and bought a Thermopen, it’s fast and accurate, just what the doctor ordered for a quick internal temp check.

Looks great, I never thought of pairing potatos and zucchini together though. I’ll have to try that with some garlic. The game, oh well, but on a positive note Ohio has a good band, The Best Damned Band in the Land. Chow Jim

Looking good Dog! And ya, unbeleivable game. I kept waiting for Ohio to wake up… to no avail..
Decided on steak and football tonight, a great combination!
Stopped by Midwestern Meats in Mesa this afternoon and picked up an Iowa corn-fed Bone-in Ribeye, took it home, rubbed it with a little olive oil and gave it a light sprinkle of Black and Red seasoning from Penzey’s.
I made some potatoes in foil, I don’t have a name for it but you basically slice up some potatoes and onions (this time I tossed in some zucchini), add butter and salt/pepper, wrap them in foil and toss them on the grill for a while.
Make sure the foil is tight so that they steam a little, but put them right on the hot grill so the bottom layer gets crispy.
Grilled up the steak.
Potatoes were done.
Sauted up some mushrooms and tossed a salad. Popped a bottle of wine and watched an unbelivable football game!
Wasn’t paying attention and looks like the meat got away from me a little, but it was still quite edible.
That looks amazing!! Thanks for making me hungry
Defintely bake. 375-400 sould be fine, put them on the lowest rack so they brown up a bit. That’s really the good part,eating the "crispys" off the bottom of the foil.
Yummy! I actually like my steak just like that.
For those of us with no grill other than a George Foreman, would you do the veggie packets in the oven on broil or bake?
Cathy, who want to make them to go with kielbasa.

I hate to break it to you guys but we were doing potatos like that in Boy Scouts back in about 1959. No damn zucchini, tho.

Farmer Boy’s, The SoCal mini-chain of Burger Restaurants has two side dishes that appeal to us.
1. BIG Thick Onion Rings- sometimes so heavy you have to cut them up and use a fork to dip them!
2. Zucchini Spears, a good 6-plus inches long. Also Battered and deep-fried. The orders are large enough that if you order both, you better have someone to share them with.
I am not a ranch dressing fan, but with these two items it makes a good dipping sauce.[:p]
One of my favorite "stopping off" places on my way over to San Diego. I’ve had the O-rings, but haven’t tried the zucchini, I’ll have to next time I’m by.
That steak looked fantastic. I don’t know about the zucchini, however. Not one of my favorites.
The day after the game, the St. Petersburg, FL newspaper printed this comment: "I could not have cared less who won, but here’s a new rule:
THE Ohio State cannot call themselves THE Ohio State for five years since it got THE stuffing kicked out of them."
It was a great day for the Gator Nation! Glad the steak and potatoes were good for you at least.

Potatoes look great–but I got burned out on zucchini during the glut of the ‘eighties, when I swear you couldn’t open your front door without finding a "gift" of the stuff from a neighbor. Right up there with the rats, moles, and birds from our cats!
I used to do something a little different w/ potatoes when I took kids (a church youth group, sometimes unkindly referred to as "sacristy rats") camping. Sorry: no measurements available, just throw it in a deep pot with a cover & cook it until it seems about right. (Oh: we liked thick-sliced peppered bacon.)
Fry LOTS of bacon, cut up some, until not quite crisp. Add a bunch of coarsely chopped onions & brown a little, then about twice as much (or more) red potatoes as onions, sliced. Stir around until hot & steamy, add S & P to taste, cover kind of loosely, and cook until the potatoes are done, scraping the stuff off the bottom periodically & mixing it in for flavor.
Looks good DD!
I love steamed veggies and we use the foil method as well. Yellow squash, broccoli, zukes, onions, butter and a dash of garlic salt. Don’t get crispy though, the squash and zukes have too much water in them I think.
