6.19.10 teriyaki basil beef skewers & iced watermelon

-
Our recipe for Scott's incredible sirloin skewers..
1lb cubed sirloin (2 inch), 1 tsp ground blk pepper, big pinch red pepper flakes, 1 cup Yoshidas(Costco), 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp roasted garlic, 1 tbsp soy sauce, bunch fresh basil, bruised, two sprigs rosemary bruised, half lime zested and squeezed, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 cup water (the Yoshida's is very concentrated)...toss beef cubes in marinade...i also tossed in half of a earl campbell sausage for an experiment...don't let the steak marinate too long...it's strong and the meat will be like jerky...which isn't altogether bad.
A chubby seedless watermelon skinned and diced is chilling in the freezer. We taste tested it already and Scott picked a super sweet, and perfectly textured melon.
A yellow onion is waiting to be sauteed with a lb of baby bella 'shrooms....and Bush's Baked Grillin' beans are warming.
I''ve spent the last week in ok city w Scott and just came home last nite. Very emotional to leave him yesterday, so I was grinning from ear to ear when he told me he was 30 min from home this morning.
So it's time to take some brews to the pool, with some icey watermelon and enjoy time with Scott.
