Steak Peanut Bowl

The eating habits of the Weir household have been changing lately...for the better.

For as long as I can remember, we've always opted to eat out on Saturday nights. Most likely it's ingrained in me by my parents who always, without a doubt, order in or eat out on Saturday nights. It makes sense - you work hard all week and deserve to treat yourself on Saturday after errands or fun plans. That's why Andy and I easily fell into the same routine.

But the past few weeks have been different. Now that we've got a grill, Saturdays are an opportunity to try out a new recipe on the grill without the stress of added work after a long day at the office. We relax all afternoon, go grocery shopping, marinade some meat, and then piece together a beautiful meal like these steak peanut bowls.

Every time I make this peanut sauce we end up having loads of leftovers that get put on everything. It's the perfect balance of salty and sweet, and makes the ginger marinated steak taste even better. I've also found that if there's meat on the plate, I can get away with loads of veggies making up the rest of the meal.
