Best. Meal. EVER

I think I concocted the best meal ever last night.

New York Strip with sauteed green beans and roasted new potatoes with carmelized onions and a camambert cheese sauce.

Are you ready?

First thing - preheat oven to 400 degrees for the potatoes. I will say this meal was easy because I have 2 ovens..
Coat potatoes in oil and a little salt and pepper - roast about 45 minutes.

Once the potatoes are in, you can start prepping the cheese. This cheese comes in a wheel. Open the cheese and then place it back in the little wood container (without the plastic around it..) Cut a chunk out of the top of the wheel and discard that chunk (or eat it...)
Thinly slice 2 cloves of garlic and put them on the cheese. Pull some rosemary leaves off the stalk and drop those on there as well. Coat with a good drizzle of olive oil. Toss a little salt and pepper on there as well.
Bake on a cookie sheet for 25 minutes or so, until warm and gooey. 350 is better, but i don't think 400 would be a big deal. if so... you could just add cooking time to your potatoes at 350 and all is well.
Oh heck yeah.

Once your hubby places the steaks on the grill, get the onions going. Throw about 3 tablespoons or so (or so!!) into a skillet. Once melted, add 1 large onion, sliced thin. Let it sit and don't stir too much so that you get nice brown-ish onions. Once finished, remove to a plate and save the buttery skillet. (at this point i had the potatoes out resting so i just threw the onions on the potatoes... just a side note)

Toss some green beans (i confess i used frozen but they were great) in the hot skillet and sautee around until crispy. Salt and pepper as you wish.

About the times the steaks come off, the cheese and potatoes can come out of the oven to sit so you don't burn your dang mouth when you eat!.

Smash the potatoes a little bit.

On the plate - put a good scoop of the smashed potatoes, a generous helping of onions, and the scoop some of that evil cheese out on top.

Like so:
We ate this with a bottle of Brazin Red Zin. Lee made noises I have never heard as he ate the potatoes. Devine.

A new addition to the kitchen is my old-timey veggie basket. This was a great way to get the bowl of veggies off my butcher block.
