Working late is not fun.  It means I can’t cook dinner, and I’m tired and cranky.  But it does give me a chance to think about recipes I’ve made in the past that I want to make again soon.  Such as this one:

Grilled Steak with Grilled Fries
Any good steak lover knows that the best way to enjoy a good steak is with simple preparation. This recipe works best with a strip or porterhouse steak, or any steak that is about an inch or more thick, which will provide the right combination of a seared surface and juicy interior. If you have a large enough grill, grill the potatoes with the steak so everything will be done at the same time.
Ingredients:
Steak:
1 (2-pound) porterhouse or steak, about 1 inches thick
2 tbs. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. sea or kosher salt
1 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
Cooking spray
1 tbs. unsalted butter, softened
Fries:
1 teaspoon sea or kosher salt
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 medium baking potatoes, each cut into 12 wedges (about 1 1/2 pounds)
2 medium sweet potatoes, each cut into 12 wedges (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Preparation
To prepare steak, coat steak with Worcestershire. Cover and marinate steak in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
Prepare grill with one side on medium heat and one side on high heat.
Remove steak from Worcestershire; discard Worcestershire. Sprinkle steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes. Place steak on grill rack coated with cooking spray over high heat; grill 3 minutes on each side. Turn steak and place over medium heat; grill 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Place steak on a platter. Rub butter over top of steak; let stand 10 minutes.
To prepare fries, combine 1 teaspoon salt, paprika, 1 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. Combine oil and potatoes in a large bowl, tossing to coat. Sprinkle potatoes with paprika mixture; toss gently to coat.
Place potatoes on grill rack coated with cooking spray over medium heat; grill 18 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender, turning occasionally. Remove sweet potatoes; keep warm. Grill baking potatoes an additional 6 minutes or until tender.

Serves 4.
