Grilled Steak with Garlic-Parmesan Crust

Serve it with snow peas or sugar snap peas with dressing (while they're still in season!) and fresh blueberries or raspberries.

* 2 lbs. boneless New York strip or Delmonico steaks (about 2 or 3 steaks)
* 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (Alternatively, preheat the broiler.)

With the lid closed, grill (or broil) the steaks on one side to the desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare).

When you flip the steaks, spread a light coating of margarine or butter on top of the cooked side of each steak. Sprinkle each steak generously with Parmesan cheese and lightly with garlic powder. Then cook the steaks to desired doneness.

Remove the steaks to a plate or cutting board and slice them into strips to serve them.

Scramble Flavor Booster: After flipping the steaks, sprinkle them with black pepper or a little cayenne pepper in addition to the garlic powder.

Tip:

Enjoy a little summer all year long: If you pick or buy extra berries while they are in season, consider freezing some. Gently rinse and dry them (remove stems for strawberries), lay them on a cookie sheet in the freezer, and then transfer them to a freezer bag or other container once they are frozen.
