Spoiled hubby (bacon & green beans with steak and grilled peppers)

My hubby has been a trouper and I decided to make him a special dinner tonight. If it wasn't for fall apart mouth watering steak let alone bacon I could probably be swayed towards being vegan. However, throw in the mouth watering succulent steak I am doomed. That being said, dinner tonight started with some bacon grease in my new cast iron enamel dutch oven. Throw in some chopped onion and green beans and you had me at bacon. Still I chopped up some bacon and added it in as well.
Recipe for Southern Green Beans:

1-2 pounds of fresh green beans snapped into 1" pieces
bacon drippings (if you throw your bacon out, you should seriously pray for forgiveness)
1 small chopped onion
1 tsp pepper (or pepper to taste)
1 cup water or broth
chunks of bacon

In the dutch oven I melted my bacon grease. Then added onions for 2 minutes just to where they begin to turn translucent. Add in the green beans, pepper, and bacon chunks and stir to coat for 3-5 more minutes. Add water and bring to boil. Once boiling, cover and simmer on low for 45minutes to an hour.

That being said, my hubby has a bacon complex. Loves it! Sometimes I think more than me. But thats okay. I know how to cook it, not the ready made stuff mind you, the REAL stuff so I know I am safe and wont be left for bacon so long as I prepare it for him every so often. *grins*

On to our main course...

Petite grilled steaks are where its at. Hmm, maybe I am spoiling myself here... oh well, that is what happens when I am left in charge of meal planning and he doesn't give me input. They looked god when I was at the grocery store. So in the cart and home they came.

We picked up some seasoning awhile back at the TAC OH Wooster Rally called "Bone Suckin Sauce'" Love this stuff. So I rubbed it on both sides and now they are hanging out chilling on the counter.

While the steaks were warming up to room temp. it gave me some time to prep an Ancient Sweets red pepper to be roasted on the grill as well. Slice off top, slice down the sides and peel out the guts. Drizzle some olive oil and add a shake or two of sea salt and they are ready for roasting. Ancient  Sweets red peppers have 427% of vitamin C! Holy crap thats alot!

So here is the final product of my slaving over my hubby's meal. No, he isn't spoiled at all! /sarcasm
