1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
½ cup Soy Sauce
4 TBsp Minced Garlic
3 TBsp Olive Oil
2 tsp Ground Pepper
1 cup Cedar Creek Cabernet Sauvignon
4 tsp Worcestershire
2 TBsp Dijon Mustard
Marinate Steaks for 24 hours minimum for the best results. For cooking the steak, place it on a hot grill 500°, for about 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Internal temperature should read 135° for 10 seconds at least. Let steak rest at least 10 minutes prior to plating.

½ cup Heavy Cream
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper

Note: Double Gloucester is a cousin to American Cheddars. Gloucester is a city in Britain where the cattle that make this cheese come from.
Peel then cube potatoes (2 inch x 2 inch) and place in water to boil. Boil for 20 minutes or until fork tender. Place butter in sauce pan on medium heat until melted and foam starts to dissipate. Brown slowly as to not scorch butter. Once browned, set aside. Mash all ingredients together until creamy.
