So, last Saturday, my son’s 7 month birthday we did Guy Night at the GrillinFool’s. For years guy night was just my dad and I. We would do this a few nights of the year: Steaks bigger than your foot, a good bottle of red (or two) and a guy flick – doesn’t have to have a lot of plot but it needs to have some explosions and gun battles!?!?
Well, this guy night included my father – Fools Pappy:
As well as my FiL and my son – Future Pitmaster: GrillinFool Jr.
I prepared quite the meal and took a ton of pictures so I am going to break it down into 3 posts. I did Filets, Scallops and Crostinis. I’ll go into each in depth in their own post. Here are the finished products. Plated:

First things first. Gotta get a proper beverage to imbibe while preparing the meal. This Schild Estate Barossa Shiraz should do nicely:
The steaks were my typical deal, marinade, sear, bake, rest, slice. Take a look at these bad boys (cell phone for reference to size).
The Marinade was Andria’s, red wine, olive oil, black pepper and garlic in a ziplock bag overnight:
Pulled them out of the marinade, patted them dry and sprinkled coarse salt and black pepper and let them come up to room temp. Never put a cold steak on the grill:
Seared over open flames:
After the searing pull the steaks off to the side:
And of course the money shot of my steak:
Part II were the scallops and Part III were the crostinis
If you have any questions about the above dish please feel free to comment below or email me.

Yikes! And maybe when I learned something about lighting because I had no camera skills back in 2008, evidently!
