T-Bone Steak and Summer Potato Salad

This hearty meal combines juicy T-bone steaks with a tangy potato salad. The steak marinade infuses flavour, while the salad balances creamy dressing with zesty pickled jalapeños. Prepare the marinade and pickled peppers ahead of time to streamline cooking. For best results, let the steaks rest before slicing and serving alongside the room-temperature potato salad.

      Lay steaks in a single layer in a shallow dish. Spoon marinade over to cover both sides, and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

    • Step 2

      Preheat grill to medium high.

    • Step 3

      When ready to serve, remove steaks from marinade (discarding marinade) and barbeque, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare doneness. Transfer to a plate, tent with foil, and let rest.

    • Step 4

      Serve with Summer Potato Salad.

  • Summer potato salad

    • Step 1

      Place potatoes in a large pot of cold salted water, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool for 10 minutes.

    • Step 2

      Cook eggs to just under hard boiled. Let cool; peel, quarter and set aside.

    • Step 3

      In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil and melt butter. Add onions and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer onions to 1 plate and let cool slightly.

    • Step 4

      In a large bowl, stir together dill, mayonnaise, pickles, pickled jalapenos, pickled jalapeno liquid, and salt. Gently fold in potatoes, onions and eggs. Season to taste with black pepper and serve immediately.
