So this is a two-fer: quick and easy AND a family favorite. I grew up on this meal, and we always seem to say it as one word, like in the title. Simply thaw extra steaks you bought last time they were on sale overnight in fridge. My favorites are t-bones or strip steak. Not cheap I know. One hour before dinner, wash potatoes and prick with a fork. Place in 450 degree oven until dinner time. Start charcoal grill. As the fire gets going, marinade the steaks. By "marinade" I mean open spice cupboard and sprinkle on both sides of meat whatever smells good that day. Top off with lots of worcestershire sauce, plus some red wine, some sort of vinegar, maybe some soy sauce. Fires should be ready 30 minutes plus after starting. Grill 5-8 minutes on a side then let the meat rest as you put the rest of dinner on the table. Serve with a green salad and Clemson Blue Cheese Dressing for extra artery clogging effect.

A healthier option is to do steak and baked sweet potato which is what we had last night.

Great for company and a good excuse to open that really nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
