What's planned for the 4th?

[jmcginley1]

Tomorrow we are BBQing a my good friends house. He provides the house, the beer, and the hard liquor, and I bring the wine and a good portion of the food.


I am making two things for tomorrow.

Peppercorn encrusted steaks (Black Angus porterhouse steaks rubbed with olive oil, black pepper, salt, and peppercorns), and some homemade burgers (80/20 beef, eggs, italian bread crumbs, black pepper, sea salt, chili powered, minced onion and garlic) with some very sharp cheddar ready for melting.

As much as I am a wine guy, warm weather outside parties call for beer. I know the night will end with a few of us drinking some killer cabs with the steak, (I have a half case of Joel Gott, and some random Chilian cabs I've been wanting to try)
