Sensational steak

It's quick, easy, and downright delicious. So splurge on a mouthwatering cookout favorite this weekend.

Southerners love grilling in all its incarnations. Many of us naturally gravitate toward ribs and chicken; others go for hot dogs and burgers. But we're willing to bet that for most of you, there are times when nothing else will do but a big, juicy steak.

For a casual Saturday night in the backyard, our Peppered Rib-eye Steaks are a griller's delight, a choice cut that's easy to prepare. The rub-on seasoning is made with herbs and spices that you probably already have on hand. Green Onion-and-Bacon Mashed Potatoes is chock-full of every decadent ingredient a steak lover craves. To round out the meal, try our boxed recipes for Buttery Garlic Bread and some other simple accompaniments.

So get ready to smell the smoke and hear the sizzle. We guarantee this will taste better than any steak house fare, and we suggest you tip the cook.
