Beef Fillets and Vegetables

This year at our local county fair we bought a steer to support the 4H sale and local young farmers.  It's a great way to pay support the community and you know exactly where the beef you are eating came from.  We buy it that day and the local locker/butcher will transport it to his facility.  They will also dry age the meat for 3 weeks.  The locker will make almost anything you want from beef. I'll post another day about the options, but its a great way to get what you want, and know exactly what you are eating.

So, as it sits today I have half of a side of beef in the freezer just waiting to be eaten.  When I took a peek the other day, these beef fillets were right there ready to be eaten.  MMmmmmmm.

The steaks looked great, but for some reason there's was a funky color in the picture!

I seasoned these puppies up with a little olive oil and seasoning I bought at the store.

This is something new I had never tried before.  Last year we received a gift of some Omaha Steaks products and in there were these Potatoes Au Gratin.  They are frozen and you put them in the oven for 20 minutes and they turn out fantastic. I would think these would be great at holidays or other occasions where time is a premium and you have other thing to worry about.  They turned out delicious and the only time you spend is the time it takes to open the bag and put them on the pan!

I don't know if the Schwan's man stops everywhere.  Some people think they are somewhat expensive and they kind of are.  You are also paying for convenience and one of the easy things we like is the vegetable blend.  You can do it on the grill or stove.  They taste delicious and my kids eat em up!

The finished product.  Steaks were on the grill.  I grill them for a few minutes on each side with the grill as hot as I can get it!  My Weber does 550-600 degrees.  Time to Eat!
