Steaks and Portobello Mushrooms on the Barbeque (with the guys)

The “guys” decided that they should teach us on how we should work on our Show Me The Curry videos! What better way to tell us than “show” us how it’s supposed to be done! Hetal and I sat back and watched the drama and the action unfold…and we both have to admit that they did a really good job 🙂 Having said that, don’t worry, we are not changing our style!
Enjoy this video and learn a trick or two about grilling and summer parties 🙂 What we loved the best, we got a great meal out of it 😉
