Stephanie Clark started her career in cost accounting and manufacturing operations — and it was leading her company's first ERP implementation that hooked her for good. Twenty years and 500+ implementations later, she's the founder of Elliott Clark Consulting (ECC), a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central partner built around a simple belief: technology only works when the process behind it is right first.

Stephanie developed ECC's Process → Technology → Automation methodology after watching too many implementations fail for the same reason — teams jumping to technology (or now, AI) before the underlying process could support it. She holds PMP, CPIM, and CBAP certifications and has spent two decades helping manufacturers and distributors get ERP right: effective, sustainable, and built to actually hold up under automation and AI.

When she's not presenting or writing on ERP strategy, she's leading ECC's growing team of consultants, helping mid-market manufacturers and distributors move past spreadsheets and disconnected systems into ERP environments that are genuinely ready for what's next.

Eric Monchecourt is known among friends, neighbors, and local food enthusiasts as a dedicated grilling enthusiast based in Penfield, New York. He has spent many years developing practical outdoor cooking skills through consistent hands-on experience. His approach to grilling emphasizes preparation, patience, and reliable techniques that yield consistent results. By paying close attention to heat control and ingredient quality, he has earned a reputation within his community for preparing flavorful Angus beef steaks alongside fresh vegetables using a Blackstone griddle.

Eric lives and works in Penfield, NY, where backyard grilling has become an important part of everyday life. Over time, he has turned outdoor cooking into a personal craft shaped by steady practice and curiosity. Whether preparing meals for family dinners, neighborhood gatherings, or weekend cookouts, he carefully manages temperature, seasoning, and timing. The Blackstone griddle remains his preferred cooking surface because it allows him to cook several ingredients at once while maintaining control over heat and cooking pace.

Eric Monchecourt developed his interest in grilling through a long appreciation for outdoor cooking and the sense of community it creates. Early experiences around backyard meals sparked curiosity about how simple ingredients could be transformed through heat and preparation. Instead of treating grilling as a casual activity, he gradually began studying cooking methods, learning how different temperatures affect meat, and understanding the importance of preparation before placing food on the cooking surface. These early lessons helped build the practical foundation that guides his cooking style today.

Eric prefers the Blackstone griddle because it offers a flat cooking surface that supports a range of cooking techniques. The design allows him to create distinct heat zones across the griddle, helping him manage multiple ingredients at once. While one section of the surface reaches high heat for searing steaks, other areas remain at moderate temperatures for vegetables. This arrangement allows meals to cook evenly while keeping flavors balanced and ingredients properly prepared throughout the entire cooking process.

Monchecourt places strong emphasis on ingredient quality when preparing grilled meals. He often chooses Angus beef because it is known for its consistent marbling and dependable flavor. Before cooking, he carefully inspects each cut of meat to ensure it has balanced fat distribution and a healthy color. The preparation process usually includes allowing steaks to reach room temperature and applying simple seasoning such as salt and pepper. This approach keeps the beef's natural taste at the center of the meal.

Eric Monchecourt also prepares fresh vegetables alongside the steaks to create balanced meals that include both protein and produce. Bell peppers, onions, zucchini, asparagus, and mushrooms are commonly placed on the griddle next to the meat. These vegetables are usually lightly coated with olive oil and seasoned with salt or herbs before cooking. The moderate heat of the griddle allows them to soften and caramelize gradually while maintaining texture. Cooking them beside the steak also allows subtle flavors to blend across the meal.

Eric follows a grilling philosophy built on three simple principles: precision, patience, and continuous practice. Precision comes from carefully managing heat levels and cooking times. Patience ensures that steaks form a proper crust and that vegetables cook without burning. Practice helps him refine techniques with each cooking session. By maintaining this steady and thoughtful approach, he continues to improve his results while keeping the cooking process enjoyable and approachable.

Monchecourt often prepares meals for family gatherings and neighborhood cookouts where grilling becomes a shared experience. The griddle frequently serves as the center of conversation while food cooks and guests gather nearby. During these moments, he enjoys sharing simple cooking tips and discussing grilling methods with others. These gatherings highlight an important belief he holds about outdoor cooking: meals prepared with care can bring people together and create lasting memories around the table.

Eric Monchecourt continues to view grilling as a skill that can always improve through learning and experimentation. Even after years of cooking outdoors, he remains open to testing new ingredients, trying different seasoning combinations, and adjusting techniques when necessary. This willingness to keep learning reflects a mindset focused on steady progress rather than perfection. Through consistent practice and dedication to quality preparation, he maintains a humble approach to grilling while continuing to develop his craft.
