A great summer dish - next time you have the grill on - throw on an extra steak. After it is cooled, slice it very thin. I love it a day or two later with a variety of salads (tonight's salads were purchased macaroni and purchased potatoe salad, a tossed green salad, and cucumber salad). Because it isn't too hot to run the oven yet - we also had baked garlic bread. Yum! A perfect summer meal!
Cucumber Salad - well, I grew up on sliced cucumbers in vinegar with a sprinkle of pepper - for sure this must have been served just about every day - either with lunch or supper. And that is good - very good, and healthy too. BUT - if you don't care about a few extra calories.... try this - thinly sliced cucumbers stirred in sour cream with probably just less than 1 TBS vinegar. Add some fresh dill if you have any - it looks pretty. And - just before serving - grate a bit of salt over it. Don't add the salt early or your cucs will get watery.

Hi! I was surprised to see this come up on my bloglines -- I'd forgotten about it!
We're picking cucumbers from the garden daily now -- I like to make that sliced cuke salad too.
