Attention Vegans: Avert your eyes, this post is red meat-o-licious.

Last night, Beni and I found ourselves home alone without the children, which is an extremely rare occurance. With both boys at their cousins', we debated for just a few seconds what to do with ourselves. Quiet night at home it was.
To mark the special occasion, Beni prepared the most delicious cut of steak ever prepared in the history of man-kind. No lie. This is definitely "last meal" material.
It started as a simple yet beautiful cut of meat from Richard's they call the 'Razorback'. It's essentially a gigantic ribeye with bone-in. Beni spiced it up and proceeded to smoke it into submission.


While the meat soaked in the smokey goodness, Beni prepared the sides. Roasting in the oven were a medely of fingerling potatoes, carrots, sweet potatos, turnips, parsnips, and LOTS of garlic. The method Beni uses to roast vegetables gives them the perfect texture. The outside is just slightly crispy so your teeth pop through the skin, and the center is light and fluffy. The natural flavors of these roots are amazing. They were seasoned very simply with salt, pepper, and paprika.



Behold, Smoked Razorback with Roasted Roots and Blackened Snow Peas:


Seriously, if I am ever on death row, this would be my last request.
