Ingredients:

• Steaks with Garlic-Chive Butter
• 2, 1lb filet mignons (or any steak would be good with this)
• Seasoning for the steaks
• 2 Tablespoons chopped chives
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 Tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Seasoned Baked Potatoes
• 2 large russet potatoes
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

1. Steaks with Garlic-Chive Butter:
2. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with your favourite steak seasoning (I used Montreal steak seasoning) and grill for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness (adjust for however you like your steak).
3. Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until the butter is smooth. Serve with the steaks and/or baked potatoes.
4. Seasoned Baked Potatoes:
5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
6. Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with the olive oil, seasoning salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 45 minutes to an hour or until the skin is crispy and the inside is soft.
7. Red Wine Vinaigrette:
8. Whisk all ingredients together and serve.
