New York Strip Steaks

February 12, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

A grilled New York Strip Steak is topped with flavored butter to make an exceptional steak.

I love a good steak, especially a steak grilled outdoors on a grill. In the dead of winter, in Wisconsin, going outside to grill is really not an option. The grill doesn’t stay hot enough because there is cold air gushing through it.

But, as I said I LOVE a good steak! So, when it’s winter out in Wisconsin one needs to improvise to get what one wants! I have come up with a way to grill a steak indoors and have it taste like you made it outdoors.

Place the steaks on a very hot grill pan.

You start by heating up a grill pan on medium high and get it nice and hot. Then you slap on the steaks and get good grill marks on both sides of the steaks.

Then you finish the steak off in a 400 degree oven, this way the steak doesn’t become too tough like it would if you cook it completely on the grill pan.

Meaty delciousness!

Flavored butter in my opinion really takes the steak from a 4 Star to a 5 Star, it’s absolutely fabulous! If you haven’t tried this before, I suggest you try it real soon. Try one of my favorite butters.

  • Once the grill pan is hot, add the steaks to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Grill each side of the steak for 3 minutes.

Italian Beef Sandwiches, what can I say but YUM! So easy and packed full of deliciousness. You take a beef roast and add french onion soup, pepperoncini peppers and liquid and some zesty italian dressing and slow cook it for hours to make Italian Beef Sandwiches.

Pile everything in the slow cooker.

If you are not a lover of the pepperoncinis (like me), don’t let this stop you from making these Italian Beef Sandwiches. You can discard the peppers once the sandwiches are done.

Yummy!

Yummy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The juice from the peppers make the sandwiches very juicy and give it a nice punch of flavor.

Hearty Beef Vegetable Soup

January 24, 2014 by Kay Leave a Comment

I made this recipe for Hearty Beef Vegetable Soup for a Lunch & Learn at work. Within a half hour the soup had vanished and I even doubled the recipe. I got rave reviews on the recipe. I promise it’s good, you should plan on making it soon!

You start this Hearty Beef Vegetable Soup with ground chuck and bacon (nothing is bad if it has bacon in it) and you add in a ton of vegetables along with cheddar cheese soup, beer and beef broth. The beer really adds a depth of flavor but if you prefer not to use beer you can add in an extra cup of beef broth.

Adding the milk in the end makes the soup creamy and mellows out the tomatoes in the soup. Add cheddar cheese when you serve up this hearty soup. Enjoy!

Add some cheddar cheese if you please.

Tamale Pie

January 15, 2014 by Kay 1 Comment

Tamale Pie is a layer of polenta with a mixture of rice, corn, beef and tomatoes baked on top. Are you familiar with polenta? It is corn meal mixed with a liquid and then it can be eaten directly, baked, fried or grilled. In this case, the polenta is baked at the bottom of the Tamale Pie.

The great thing about this recipe is the fact that you can freeze it if you wish. This recipe makes enough for two meals. I made half of the recipe in a 2.5 quart casserole dish and the rest of the recipe I split into ramekins to freeze and use at a later date.

As mentioned in Monday’s post, I made 2 pounds of ground chuck and split the meat between Monday’s Post for One Pot Pasta Dish and today I will use the rest of the meat for the Tamale Pie.

Brown the onion and ground chuck in the olive oil. Add in the spices, tomatoes, rice and corn and cook until it boils. Next you will make the polenta and divide evenly between your baking dishes.

Add parmesan cheese if you like but only to the portion you are going to bake right away.

Serving Size: 8 - 10 Servings

Tamale Pie

A mixture of polenta, beef, rice, corn and tomatoes come together to make a delicious pie.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 pounds ground beef
  • ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes (more if you like things spicy)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup rice, cooked
  • 1 cup corn, fresh or frozen
  • Cornmeal Crust (recipe below)
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • *Make filling: Brown ground beef in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat until browned, drain the fat.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add the red pepper flakes, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add the crushed tomatoes, rice and corn. Cook mixture until it comes to a boil
  • Make Crust (recipe below). Pour 1/8 of the crust (1/4 cup) into the bottom of each of eight 10- to 12-ounce ramekins or use two, 2.5 quart baking dishes or a combination of both. Smooth tops with a spoon; cool 5 minutes. Top each with filling, dividing evenly; sprinkle with cheese.
  • Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until filling is bubbling and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes for ramekins, 45 minutes for baking dishes.
  • *If you are going to make this recipe along with the All In One Pasta Dinner, you will use half of the beef mixture you browned before making the two recipes.
  • For the polenta:
  • 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • Whisk cornmeal with 1 1/2 cups cold water.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups water, salt, and pepper to a boil.
  • Gradually stir in cornmeal mixture. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring often, until very thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted.

Notes

To freeze this dish, do not add cheese in step 3. Let pies cool completely; do not bake. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; freeze up to 3 months. To cook small pies: Remove plastic wrap from frozen pies, and cover with foil; bake 45 minutes. Remove foil, top with cheese, and bake 30 minutes more. To cook large pies: Defrost overnight in refrigerator. Sprinkle with cheese; bake, uncovered, 45 to 60 minutes.
