Thanks all!  It was a good weeknight meal. I just need to make sure next time I send my husband shopping that he knows to get more than one steak for all of us!!!

Great meal, great carrots. Will have to grill some carrots this weekend. 

 

Upping my veggie game is my goal this year.

I have the exact opposite problem. The wife is always asking, "are we feeding an army?"

I almost always cook with the intention for leftovers (except maybe fish). I don't like to eat out for lunch much, and leftovers help with that :)

I have a glaze that I brush over my carrots.  I like to cook mini carrots rather than the whole.  I like the uniformity of how those mini carrots cook.  The glaze is some honey, bourbon, and a touch of cayenne pepper brushed on about every 2 minutes for 10 minutes before they carrots are done.  Occasionally I'll add some fresh grated ginger.  The proportions are anywhere from equal measures honey and bourbon to 2:1 honey to bourbon, depending on how sweet you like things.  For the cayenne, that is to taste.  I've found that I generally like things spicier than most folks.  

NOTE:  I've also used reduced maple syrup in place of the honey.  Sometimes a splash of balsamic vinegar is an interesting addition.  Enjoy!

Now you're talking Ken! But hard to argue with the bourbon part! 

@Shuley - that steak looks perfect!

That sounds like an awesome glaze
