Dinner for two

[Rosco]

Well i kinda wanted to make my wife a special dinner, this evening, and if i may say so myself i did an awesome job, i started playing around an idea of steak marinated in beer and tequila, and this is what i came up with, i call the "buzz cut":

Steak Estampado

10-12 oz tenderloin steak

For the marinade:
1/2 a can of Modelo Especial beer
2 1/2 tblspoons of Fina Estampa Blanco
3 tblspn of garlic powder
1 tblspn of pepper
1 tblspn of paprika
2 lemons (juice)
1 tblspn of oregano
pinch of salt

combine all ingredients in large bowl and place tenderloin, and let marinade for 1 hr, in refrigerator.

Then place 2 tblspns of butter in pan and place marinated steak , about 7-10 min for medium on each side.

I served with grilled veggies drizzled in olive oil, salt,pepper.
Also acompanied by a baked potato.

I also made a cuople of drinks using Fina Estampa Tequila Blanco.

Strawcherry Margarita

In blender place 3 strawberries
juice from one lemon
2 tblspn of Agave Nectar
1 cup of Bacardi frozen Margarita
3 tblspn of Fina Estampa Tequila Blanco
and fill with ice

Salt rim,Muddle 1 Strawberry on bottom of Martini glass,
Pour contents of blender, then with a straw take Grenadine, and swirl in the glass.

Also made a Strawberry lemonade, it too with muddled strawberry, and just a small hint of Fina Estampa Tequila Blanco.

Looks pretty tasty! You should start your own restaurant / Tequila bar.

Hey Rosco,

Out of curiosity...did you pan fry or grill the steaks? I have a gas grill an attempted this recipe the other night but I think I may of had the heat up too high. I used Prime Cut Sirloin (2-9oz steaks)...I browned off both sides for 1 1/2 minutes then grilled on medium high for 6 1/2 minutes a side.

The final product was of good flavor but it was very charred. Did I grill to long or should I of used the oven to reduce flare ups?

He didn't grill it, he pan sauteed it with butter.
