For last Christmas, my aunt purchased a salt block for me. I have had great fun with it since then. But because it tends to make a mess when I use it on my stove top, I have not pulled it out of the cupboard in quite a while. Until tonight. It was a perfect spring day as I drove to the grocery store and after smelling the wonderful scents wafting through the air from grills as we passed houses I decided to pick up some brats and steak for the evening. At the time, I had completely forgotten about my salt block and had no intention of using it. After arriving home, though, it occurred to me that the grill would be the perfect way to use the block.

Now the brats didn't seem appropriate for the salt block. It's not a large one anyway and I needed room for the steaks which would benefit from the salt. I rubbed a little pesto and garlic on my steaks and let them settle for a while as I grilled up some chicken breasts to add to tomorrow's lunch salad. Then I laid those beautiful rib eyes upon the block and listened to the satisfying sizzle of beef fat on hot salt. I like my steaks juicy with a little red and these were not very thick rib eyes, so I only let them cook for a few minutes on each side. I gathered up my grilled brats and my Reynolds Wrap packets of corn and red potatoes and ventured back into the house anxiously anticipating my delectable dinner.
