Sarah's Labor Day Meal

So I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I love to cook. Bake would actually be the better word, because I prefer baking, but I also love to cook. So for Labor Day Derek and I decided to have a couple friends over, and since I miss cooking for my friends so much I decided that I would do the cooking. The line-up for the meal includes......Teriyaki Steak, Country White Bread, Potato Salad, Green Beans and Oreo Truffles.
                                               TERIYAKI STEAK
2lb boneless chuck steak marinated in:
1/2 cup soy sauce                1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar           1 clove garlic minced
2 Tbsp brown sugar            1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp minced onion
This marinated all day then I broiled in the oven until cooked to taste.

                                             COUNTRY WHITE BREAD
I am so lucky to have received a bread machine when i got married. It has made my life so much easier. I greatly enjoy the ability to just throw the ingredients into the machine and walk away.
7-9 ounces milk                        1 large egg
1 1/2 Tbsp butter                      4 cups bread flour
3 Tbsp sugar                            2 tsp active dry yeast
These ingredients I threw into my bread machine on the dough setting. When the timer beeped I threw the dough into a loaf pan, allowed to rise again for about a half-hour, then threw into the oven at 350 for 28 minutes.

The potato salad is my mother's area of expertise, and I let her make it today just because she makes it better than I do. It includes a yummy assortment of potatoes, hardboiled egg, pickles, bacon and mayonnaise mixed in with it to create a scrumptuous salad.
