NY Strip Steak & Tater Tots

Quarantine supper tonite...  Live from NYC...
Today was just gorgeous... sunny, bright with a high in the low 60's... we had to get outside and bask in the warmth and feel the sun on our faces.  The hubs was such a good sport yesterday about having meatless Monday that today we grilled NY strip steaks.

Cooking steaks in the house isn't my favorite use of the meat, so we don't generally eat steak unless it's nice enough to grill... even in the winter... if it's sunny and bright the hubs likes to fire up the grill and cook outside (of course it's much more pleasant in the warmer months... but he does enjoy a good fire regardless).

Served alongside pan seared corn, broccoli and sautéed onions with the few remaining tater tots (egads... hahahaha) that we had leftover from another recipe (they were crunchy and salty and filled with unhealthy fats... but we ate them anyway and loved every minute of it). Accompanying our repast was a mellow New Zealand Malbec that was a bit smokey with a hint of blackberries at the finish...

We were thrilled by the NYC flyover this afternoon... 12:20pm EDT the Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy Blue Angels graced our skies honoring the frontline health care and essential workers... we were able to see them from the back deck... we are blessed to have the most capable health care workers in America right here in NYC...
What are you drinking?  And what's on your plate tonite?
