After a long hectic week at work I got off work Friday with time to prep out a nice dinner.
With my wife's help some steaks were already thawed and a favorite of ours was soon to be.

Creamy Ranch New Potatoes
Halve a few pounds of small New Potatoes
Boil till tender, but not too tender, drain and cool, set aside
Make a light colored roux with 4T butter and 1/4C flour
Add one packet of Ranch mix, 1T salt and mix well
Add cream or milk slowly, stirring all the time, till a thick creamy consistency is attained
Add 1C finely chopped green onions
Gently mix potatoes into cream sauce
Plate and garnish with a little Paprika or Cayenne
Cast Iron Onions
Prior to the steaks cook thick slices of onion in the cast iron.
A little bacon grease or EVOO and get some good color on them
The onions will season the pan and add to the steaks
