grill crazy saturday dinner



yeah, i admit i'm going a little overboard w/the grill but the weather has been perfect for it & ann seems to enjoy the various grilled dishes i've been preparing for her. it's too late to stop now...

this is a grilled little gems salad w/grilled ciabatta croutons, grilled avocado, grilled sweet vidalias & sweet 100 cherry tomatoes. there's a homemade variation of green goddess dressing on there too.




this is grilled marinated flap meat w/rosti potatoes. served w/a grilled trencher & rioja salsa. flap meat is becoming a popular cut, esp for grilling. as tara dugan in the sf chron writes:

"Also called flap steak, the unflatteringly named cut is similar to skirt and flank in that it comes from the less tender regions of the animal. Often cheaper than more popular cuts, this little underdog of the beef world has a wonderful meaty flavor and fine texture when prepared carefully."
