T-Bone and and Baked Potato


Every time I come home, I have to have my mom throw me a t-bone and a baked potato on the grill. I have never had a t-bone as good as hers; she has tricks that she won't even tell me when cooking them. She never thaws it in cold water like some people do, she lets it naturally thaw which apparently helps it contain juices. I’ve never watched her season them because she wakes up early in the morning and season them so that they can have a few hours to marinate and absorb the flavors. Then she uses Kingsfords charcoal and lightening fluid to start the fire. Before she seasons the meet she puts some hickory wood chips in some water to soak and uses them as well in the grill. I don't know if it's the hickory wood chips or the seasonings she used or the amount of time she lets the meat absorb those seasonings but whatever it is makes for an amazing steak. I have gone to several steakhouses, which originally had me thinking I didn't like steak, but after tasting my mom's I love steak. I love potatoes in every form. My favorite is baked potatoes because you can add all the toppings you want right in the slit. I really believe cooking it with the skin still on also adds flavor to it. However, it’s something about the smoke from the grill that makes a baked potato so much better. Putting the two together makes one delicious comfortable meal.
