Father’s Day Feast
Prepared and Written by Jessica Valenzuela
Prime New York Steak, Jalapeno Popper Purple Potato Salad & Broccolini
Dads are the best, so what better way to celebrate them with some great food!! For this meal I used my pellet smoker, however any grill or stove will do the trick. The great thing about this meal is that it is simple, and fairly quick, so you can spend the day with the great dads in your life instead of in the kitchen!

o Garlic Salt
o Riley’s Spice of Life Hickory BBQ Seasoning(available at GVM)
Jalapeno Popper Purple Potato Salad
o 2lbs Purple Potato Medley Mix
o 1 small bunch of Green Onions
o 1-2 Jalapenos (deseeded)
o 1lb Bacon(available at GVM)
o 2 Cups of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
o ¼ Cup of White Wine Vinegar
o 2/3 Cups of Mayonaise
o Salt (to taste)
o Pepper (to taste)
o 1 tsp Garlic Powder
Broccolini

1. I got my pellet smoker ready, and set to its highest setting (450 on mine)
2. I always take my steaks out of the fridge about 20 minutes before I need to put them on the grill. I season immediately and as the steak gets to room temperature it soaks up the seasoning. My family loves a dry rubbed steak, so I season liberally, but feel free to adjust the amount to your personal tastes.
3. While those sat, I roughly diced up the potatoes and put them in salted water on high on the stove. I also diced up the bacon and put that in a frying pan over medium heat to get nice and crispy. While those cook up, make the potato salad sauce by mixing in the chives, white wine vinegar, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk Smooth. Deseed (unless you like spicy, then leave a few of those bad boys in there) and thinly slice up the jalapeno. We only used one, because my family can’t handle the heat, but of course you can adjust to your preference. Once the potatoes are soft with a fork, strain them and immediately put them in an ice bath so that they stop cooking.
4. At this point, I put my steaks on the grill. I did about 5 minutes on each side so they got the nice sear on both sides and set the grill to the smoke setting. Smoke for about 10 minutes (for Medium Rare).
5. Once cooled, add the potatoes, bacon (save grease), shredded cheddar, jalapenos, and sauce to a bowl and mix, while smashing down to get the potato salad consistency.
6. In the same pan you cooked the bacon, throw the broccolini in, season with garlic salt and pepper. Cover with a lid.
7. Take the steaks off the grill and put on the counter to rest for about 5-7 minutes. By then the broccolini should be nice and soft. Sprinkle with some parmesan.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!!
