Title: Strip Loin Roast with Roasted Garlic & Chive Mash
Post by: TentHunteR on December 08, 2012, 11:12:03 PM
I picked up a 4 lb. Strip loin from the butcher for $6.50 lb. But what to go with it? Hmmm... how about some Roasted Garlic & Chive mashed potatoes?

The family's hungry so I better get cooking, literally!

Garlic peeled & drizzled with olive oil.

On the pit running about 275°

Meanwhile, give  the garlic & olive oil a whir...

... and finish the potatoes.

The family was giving me looks of, "Enough pictures already... can we eat?"

Served with a salad and homemade Blue Cheese Ranch dressing.


Thanks for letting me ramble on again!

That looks delicious. I have got to start experimenting with different cuts of meat.

Whole cuts are usually less expensive per pound and so worth experimenting. I believe I liked this even better than prime rib.

That was my wife's steak I used just for the pic. I ate that end piece which was just the way I like; just barely medium and extra crust! ;D
