Steaks with Horseradish Salsa

The same day I made the chicken noodle soup, I also decided to make a nice meal for Drew, Becca, Steve and I.  I like horseradish in small doses and let me be honest-I think I added a smidge too much in this dish.  But all in all, the steaks were juicy and the horseradish salsa was a really refreshing touch!

Horseradish Salsa

3 ripe medium tomatoes (chopped)
1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 small red onion, minced
2 tbsp bottled white horseradish
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (we didn't have this...so I used a bit more olive oil)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt

Steak seasoning:

1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 garlic clove, crushed with garlic press
4 steaks of your choice

Basically, you toss all the salsa ingredients together in a bowl and mix them up well.  Then refrigerate while the steaks are cooking.

Rub the steak seasoning on the steaks and cook on the grill until their done to your liking.

The other items we had with this meal were homemade macaroni and cheese, sauteed brussels sprouts, and challah bread.  It was a delicious meal...that we followed with a serving of creme puffs.  :)

Like I said, I think I used too much horseradish and if I had been in possession of some balsamic vinegar, it may have toned down the harshness of the horseradish.

I hope you enjoy this!


mmmm Challah!
