Last Friday, Ben and I decided to grill steak since the weather has been super nice lately. We needed a side dish to go with our steak so of course we chose potatoes! Now this was no ordinary steak and potato dish. We recently purchased Strawberry Fire Jam from our local farmers market. This "fire"jam is made with strawberries and jalapeno peppers! We decided that this would be a perfect glaze for our steak. So we marinated the steak in a balsalmic vinegar marinade (balsalmic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, onion, salt and pepper) for ~2 hours. We then put the steak on the grill and brushed our "fire" glaze (1/2 cup of jam, 1/4tsp cycanne pepper, 1/4tsp pepper) onto the steak. For our potato dish we made Leek and Potato gratin (from the Italian cookbook warren got ben). *if you want the recipe I can send it to you! In short, our dinner was both sweet and savory with a little kick! Just the perfect meal for a friday night!
