Surf and Turf

For dinner last night, my husband decided to make surf and turf. The surf part of the meal was shrimp which were sauteed in a mixture of butter and oil with garlic and a minced serrano pepper; very flavorful without a lot of heat. The turf part of the meal was a Bison steak which was grilled over charcoal with Montreal Steak seasoning. We have been wanting to try bison and it was delicious. It tastes a lot like beef, but is very lean. He roasted some oca potatoes, aka New Zealand Yams which were fabulous. They look like fingerling potatoes in size and come in a variety of colors which you can't tell once they're cooked. The vegetable side was whole roasted carrots with stems left in tact which made for a very nice presentation. We started our dinner with a spinach salad with radishes and sliced yellow tomatoes, dressed with our favorite Best Salad Dressing in the World, which is really how we found the dressing recipe. A delicious feast!!! I'm really glad my husband enjoys being in the kitchen when he whips together a meal like this.
