Cats Like Good Food Too

Grilled Fillet

Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.

We were setting the table and a large gray cat acted as if she wanted to help B with his fillet.

The fillet was bought as backup on the night we last prepared the lamb. (the local store was out of lamb and we ended up driving into 'Town" to Fresh Market for Lamb Chops.

Meanwhile... to the food... the fillet was pretty straight forward 3-4 min on each side on a medium high charcoal grill. I usually cook by feel (comparing to the thumb pad of your hand) because I'm still not a pro at getting an exact heat from a charcoal grill.

While the coals were getting hot and the steaks finished on the grill, B was hard at work on the potatoes. He quartered and then halved 4 medium small white potatoes, skin on, for a total of 32 potato wedges. The wedges were tossed in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt and cracked black pepper. After the potato wedges were coated, they were browned in a medium oven until light golden brown. When taken out of the oven, they were tossed with rosemary butter. .... I must say they were probably yummier than the fillet.

To make rosemary butter: melt 2 1/2 tbs. of butter and mix with a palm full of garlic and rosemary bread dipping oil seasoning. (Rub the seasoning between your palms or fingers to release the scent of the rosemary).

Oh .. .and there was a salad :) Here's a closeup.
