FAQs
Q: Can I cook this on a stove instead of a grill?
A: Yes. Pan-sear the steak and cook sausage in a skillet. You will still get good flavor.
Q: How do I know when the steak is done?
A: Use a meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. Let steak rest a few minutes before slicing.
Q: Can I make coleslaw the day before?
A: Yes. Make the coleslaw a day ahead and keep it in the fridge in a sealed container.
Q: Can I freeze leftovers?
A: You can freeze meat and beans, but coleslaw does not freeze well because mayonnaise can separate.
Q: What cheese is best on garlic cheese bread?
