Steak Sandwich for my Husband.

I found an amazing website today. It rocked. I actually think I am going to make a couple of her recipes this week. I followed the recipe mostly, but I added a little of my touches. The website is http://thepioneerwoman.com/. She is awesome!!!! Her recipes are incredible. What a great find!!

My Weekly Tossed Salad

I made a regular toss salad with homemade croutons with the steak sandwich. I just cut up lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes and add cheese and croutons. This salad I always make a lot of and keep in my fridge for a quick lunch for myself.

Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich

1.5 pounds cube steak (tenderized round steak that’s been extra-tenderized

1 large onion OR 2 small/medium onions

4 French/Deli rolls

Butter

Lawry’s Seasoned Salt

Worcestershire Sauce

Tabasco
(I added a TB to about a 1.5 TBs of Montreal Steak Seasoning) For more flavor.

-Slice onions and cook in 1/4 stick butter until soft and light brown. Remove and set aside.-Slice cube steak against the grain. Season with Lawry’s. -Heat 2 TBSP butter over high heat (in same skillet) until melted and beginning to brown. -Add meat in single layer. Cook one side until brown, then flip and cook until brown, about a minute on both sides. -Add 1/2 (at least) Worcestershire sauce, 5 to 6 shakes Tabasco, and 2 TBSP butter. Add cooked onions. Stir. Top with toasted bread.

I also added cheese to the bread. Swiss.(Moz or Prov would be good too) That is my husbands fav.

I also used my sandwich press to brown both sides of the bun before topping it with the cheese and meat.

#2 Beef Leftover Recipe: Mexican Shredded Beef

First of all, I love to use my leftovers and try to come up with as much unique idea I can. Second, I love using shredded mexican meat because you can use it for tacos, burritos, nachos, sandwiches and even pizza. This I threw together with the leftover Roast from Friday. It turned out amazing. Geoffrey loved it!!!

I used the left over Roast about 3lbs.

2 packets of Sazon (It is Mexican seasoning found in a box. It is little packets!)

1 beer

1 can of Enchilada sauce

4 jalapenos (If you want it spicier add more jalapenos) I did not take the seeds out because Geoff loves spicy, but you can if you would like. I sliced the jalapeno into fours.

I threw this all in my pan and put it in the oven on 250. Then we went strawberry picking.(3-4 hrs) When we got back I shredded it. (It should easily shred) and I made awesome tacos. (Cheese, Guac., and Salsa. Homemade is best) It was perfect!

Strawberry Picking with the girls. We got 10lbs. You will be seeing lots of Strawberry recipes.

Leftover Beef Recipe #1

My husband looks forward to Saturday and Sunday because I always make a big breakfast. I let him and Alex choose what they would like. This morning I made him an omelet using the jalapenos I pickled and the left over beef from the roast.

I sauteed about 2/3 cp of beef with about 1/4 cp. of the jalapenos and I added some of the brine to keep the beef from drying out.

I used 4 eggs and a splash of h2o and put it in a greased pan. I added some chipotle pepper to the top of the egg.

I flipped the egg and let it cook for 2 more minutes

Added the cooked beef and about 1/2 cp of Cheddar cheese Flipped it onto a plate topped with a little more cheese and peppers.

Geoffrey loved it!

Pickled Jalepenos for Geoff

My husband loves jalapenos. He called home yesterday with some really good news and was basically floating. I wanted to make him something special.I pickled jalapenos for him. I tried them and they are very good. Geoff thinks that they need to be spicier....I am going to throw a habenero in the mix next time.

Pickeled Jalapenos

2cps. white distilled vinegar

2cps. water

1/2cp. olive oil

3 bay leaves

1 heaping TB of mustard seeds

3 dried red chillies

It is pretty simple. Throw it all in a pan and boil it for about 10 minutes. Then I washed and sliced my jalapenos and put them in a plastic conatainer (You can use a jar too and boil in a water bath to can). After the brine was ready I dumped them over the jalapenos and put it in the fridge....WHOOLA!
