FIRE-ROASTED POTATOES
Embers of a wood fire make a perfect oven for baking potatoes; the skin will turn crackly brown and the insides will be hot and fluffy. Uncooked potatoes take a full hour to bake, so you can pre-cook the potatoes if you want to speed things up.

Steps:
- Pierce the skin of each potato once or twice with the tines of a fork. If desired, pre-cook potatoes by baking them in a preheated 350 degree oven until just soft when pressed, about 1 hour.
- Prepare a wood fire outdoors and let cook down to embers. Place each potato on a square of foil large enough to wrap it, dull side up. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, to taste. Rub oil and seasonings into potato, then gather foil around potato to cover it tightly. If using uncooked potatoes, place them in embers of the fire 1 hour before serving; turn every 15 minutes with long handled tongs (do not worry if foil starts to blacken). Roast until the tip of a knife slides into the potato easily (remove a potato from the fire and pull back foil to test; return to fire if not cooked through). If using pre-cooked potatoes, place them in the embers for 20 minutes to heat through, turning with tongs once or twice.
- To serve, remove potatoes from fire with tongs. Unwrap potatoes with hot pads and cut open tops. Squeeze open potatoes to expose flesh and slather with plain butter or cilantro butter.
STEAK AND POTATO FOIL PACKS
As a park ranger, I've cooked a lot of meals outdoors. I often assemble a steak and potato foil pack and toss it into my backpack with some ice. Then when I set up camp, it's easy to cook over a campfire. If I'm at home, I use my grill, and the food is just as good. -Ralph Jones, San Diego, California

Tips:
- Choose the Right Steak: Opt for a tender and flavorful cut like ribeye, strip, or flank steak.
- Marinate Your Steak: Enhance the flavor of your steak by marinating it in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil for at least 30 minutes.
- Season Generously: Before grilling, season your steak liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook Over Medium-High Heat: Sear your steak over medium-high heat to create a beautiful crust and lock in the juices.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure your steak is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
- Let Your Steak Rest: Once cooked, let your steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Pair with Simple Sides: Grilled steak and potatoes are a classic combination. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
