Campfire Travel • June 2, 2021

INGREDIENTS

1 Blood Orange
2 ounces Blood Orange juice, strained
2 ounces pineapple juice
Prosecco

INSTRUCTIONS

Slice the edge off of the blood orange, thin slice one or two pieces off to use as garnish for the glass later. Juice the remaining orange and strain it so it doesn't have pulp. It should yield about 2 ounces of juice.

Add 2 ounces of blood orange juice in a champagne flute, come on top of that with 2 ounces of pineapple juice and top off the glass with Prosecco. Garnish with blood orange slices.

Ingredients FOR THE LEMON-PEPPER SEASONING: 3 tbsp. freshly cracked black pepper 2 tbsp. kosher salt 2 tbsp. grated lemon zest, dried for 1 hour 2 tsp. garlic powder 2 tsp. mustard powder 2 tsp. onion powder 1 tsp. sugar FOR THE STEAKS: 8 boneless rib-eye steaks (about 1 inch thick) Kosher salt, to taste 1 stick salted butter, melted Directions For the lemon-pepper seasoning: Stir together the pepper, salt, lemon zest, garlic powder, mustard powder, onion powder and sugar in a small bowl. For the steaks: Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the steaks lightly with salt and rub the lemon-pepper seasoning on both sides. Brush the steaks liberally with the melted butter Grill the steaks 1 minute 45 seconds, then rotate the steaks 90 degrees. Cook 2 minutes, then go ahead and flip the steak over to the other side. After 1 minute 45 seconds on the second side, rotate 90 degrees and finish cooking for 2 minutes, or until the steaks reach 115˚ to 120˚ on an instant-read thermometer (the steak will continue to cook slightly after you’ve removed it from the grill). This is medium rare— my favorite. Remember, you can always throw a steak back on the grill if it’s too red for your taste but you can’t undo it if it’s overcooked! via: https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a35823414/lemon-pepper-grilled-rib-eyes-recipe/
