Local Grass Fed NY Strip Steak, Roasted Fennel and Asparagus, Whipped Garlic Potatoes and Crispy Potato Skins

I saw a picture on Google images that inspired this one. It was really good but how do you go wrong with steak especially when it’s local and grass-fed. if you’re not a fennel fan you may still like this. When roasted with olive oil and salt and pepper the fennel becomes almost sweet and…
