Cowboy Steak Rub

More all star sizzlers from Lori's kitchen.
Here's a great Tex-Mex inspired rub, excellent on Ribeye Steaks:

Ingredients:

1/4 C Ancho chili powder or chili powder
2 T Paprika
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 t salt
1 t coarsely ground black pepper
2 T olive oil
4 10-12 oz. beef ribeye steaks, cut 1" thick
Snipped fresh parsley

Preparation:
For spice rub, combine in a small bowl chili powder, paprika, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir in olive oil to make a paste which will cling to meat.( I added a bit more oil to get the right consistency)
Trim fat from meat and coat both sides of steak with spice rub.
Wrap steaks tightly with spice rub and refrigerate for at least 1 hour

Grill to your hearts desire and sprinkle with parsley

Something's Cookin at Golf Zoo

I've decided to take a break from the golf blogs and start publishing some of my favorite recipes.  I'm not only a golf vacation diva, I'm also a great cook!

Here's a quick and simple chicken recipe that's heart healthy and tasty:

Chicken with Roasted Sweet Potato Salad.

2 sweet potatoes (about 1 lb) peeled and cut into thin wedges
1 red onion, thinly sliced
3 T olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
4 6 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bunch spinach, thick stems removed (about 4 cups)
2 t fresh lime juice

Heat oven to 425. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes, onion, 2 T oil, 1/2 t salt and 1/4 t pepper. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so.
Rinse and pat dry chicken breasts, season with 1/2 t salt and 1/4 t pepper, I use a little more of each.
Spray grill with PAM.
Grill chicken approx 5-6 minutes on each side.
In a large bowl, toss the warm potato mixture with spinach, lime juice and 1/4 t salt (I doubled the dressing)

Serve with the chicken. Enjoy!
