Grilled steak and mashed potatoes (and chipotle mayonnaise)
February 27, 2011 Leave a comment
Tonight is a school night and our friends are coming over so we can plan our trip. We’re staying in a condo with a kitchen so we’ll take food. It will be less expensive and we will eat better. Since we are coordinating tonight, I wanted to keep dinner simple. I had sirloin steaks in the freezer and I dipped them in the last of the chipotle marinade that I made a few weeks ago (blogged on 2/12 and 2/19). I’m making the same mashed potatoes that I blogged with the marinade. My friend is bringing a salad so we are all set.
The chipotle chiles in adobo sauce come in a small jar and I only needed 2 for the marinade. I saved the rest and I’ve made two batches of chipotle mayonnaise. Take 1 cup of mayonnaise and 1 chipotle pepper and combine in a food processor or blender. Taste and add more pepper or more mayo depending upon how much heat you like. This is awesome on turkey or roast beef sandwiches.
