Grilled Beef Skewers / #SundaySupper

Tweet

I am so excited about these Grilled Beef Skewers! It's time for #SundaySupper and we are talking beef. But not just any beef.  Certified Angus Beef® is on the menu today and we are cooking up Cowboy Recipes! These Grilled Beef Skewers are made with a Boneless Beef Sirloin Tip Roast, and they taste incredible! I added onion bites for a really tasty flavor combination, and I paired the beef skewers with veggie skewers to add color and great flavor to the plate!

 Grilled Beef Skewers
(printable recipe at end of page)

Certified Angus Beef® Boneless Beef Sirloin Tip Roast
1/2 Vidalia Onion
1 each Red, Yellow, and Orange Peppers
12 Mushrooms
Black Pepper 

Cut down the veins that you see in the roast. They end up into beautiful steaks. Take the piece of steak and make slices down the length of the cut piece, approx. 1/2" wide. Cut those strips in to cubes.

Cut the onion in half and then the half in quarters. Wash and pat dry the mushrooms. Cut and and chop peppers into small squares.

Load the onions and beef on to the skewers. But before you do, wipe the skewers with a paper towel sprayed with cooking spray. Let the beef and onion have just a bit of room so they cook evenly. Sprinkle with pepper.

Cut the peppers and mushrooms to fit onto the skewers. Add more onions too. Sprinkle with pepper. 

Put the beef and veggies on the grill. Use a timer to turn the skewers every 2 minutes. The beef will be medium rare in about 8 minutes. 

Enjoy your Grilled Beef Skewers! I served them with a small pasta salad and a slice of bread~the beef had a great taste and texture. My family loved these! I bet yours will also! These skewers would also make a great meal for a party. You can build the skewers ahead of time and because they cook so fast you can start them as the party guests arrive!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Thanks so much to Cindy from Cindy's Recipes and Writings for hosting today's fun event!

BBQ Filet Beef Tips / #SundaySupper

Tweet

These BBQ Filet Beef Tips are one of my favorite meals. I first had this meal many moons ago at my favorite restaurant in Las Vegas. Whenever my husband and I celebrated birthdays we would go to this special spot. It was out in the middle of the desert, and the owners had turned the old ranch house into a restaurant I will never forget. It was charming and rustic, and they had a huge open grill where they cooked the steaks. They made their steak tips with sirloin instead of filet, but because we are talking about lean beef this week, I wanted to make this plate using my favorite cut of beef, filet mignon.  This meal is easy to make, the beef tips melt in your mouth, and it's the perfect meal to celebrate a special occasion!

BBQ Filet Beef Tips

(printable recipe at end of post) 

1 Baking Potato
Oil
10 ounce Filet Mignon Steak
Butter
2-3 Mushrooms, sliced
2-3 Onion Slices
BBQ Sauce 

Cut the steak into small bite size pieces. Discard any fatty pieces. I do not think it is necessary to season the filet. It has a wonderful flavor on its own. However, if you want to season it, now would be the time.

Wash the potato, cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half in half. Cut slices, rinse slices with cold water and place each slice on a baking sheet. I only put them on the baking sheet because when I am frying them I want to fry similar size pieces together. Fry in a medium size pan on the stove with medium high heat. When they are brown enough, place them on a paper towel to drain. Season with salt if desired.

Cook the steak on medium high in a frying pan with a pat of melted butter.

In a separate pan, melt a pat of butter and fry the mushroom and onion slices.

Serve with a side of BBQ sauce, and enjoy your special meal!

Grilled Chicken and Steak Stir-Fry / #SundaySupper

Tweet

Chicken or steak. Hardly a major problem in the realm of everyday life, but it can be a dilemma! I always choose chicken. My husband always chooses steak. I love a moist and tender grilled chicken breast over almost anything else. My husband is a dyed in the wool lover of all things steak. The only thing to do~ Cook the stir-fry I was planning, using both! That is how this Grilled Chicken and Steak Stir-Fry became Dad's favorite recipe, and one all of us love!

Grilled Chicken and Steak Stir-Fry

Makes 2 servings
Crushed Black Pepper
Garlic Powder 
Low Sodium Teriyaki Sauce
4-5 ounces Chicken Breast
4-5 ounces London Broil
Grilled Corn Cob
 Mushrooms
Mixed Peppers
Onions
Grape Tomatoes 
Whole Wheat Pasta
Yum Yum Sauce
Sour Cream

Sprinkle the chicken and london broil with black pepper and garlic powder. Pour teriyaki sauce over steak and chicken. Use two forks to pierce the meat and chicken continuously, tenderizing the meat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

 

 Grill the chicken, london broil, and corn cob.

Slice the peppers and onions into thin slices. Chop mushrooms. Cut tomatoes lengthwise. Cook pasta. Cut corn off the cob.

Start cooking mushrooms on the stove with a 1/2 tablespoon of butter. The mushrooms take longer to cook than the other vegetables.

Sprinkle the onions and peppers with ground pepper, and saute in a large pan until tender.

Add the cooked pasta to the pan of  peppers and onions. Mix together.

Add tomatoes and mix together. Mix yum yum sauce and sour cream. Drizzle over dish.

Your Grilled Chicken and Steak Stir-Fry is ready to serve. Thank you for joining me today!

How to Cook Your Favorite Restaurant Meal at Home~A New Series

Tweet

I have an exciting new series starting today, "How to Cook Your Favorite Restaurant Meals at Home"! In this monthly series, I will be using a meal from the menu of a different restaurant each month. I will show you how I cooked it, and how much I spent, comparing it to the price on the menu.
As much as I enjoy dining out, I don't always feel that the price I pay is justified. And when I feel like that, it takes all the fun out of it! Throughout my restaurant career, I worked in several restaurants, and owned a couple, so I am more than familiar with the daily stresses and expenses of making it run. It is very expensive! But as a consumer, my money only goes so far, making it important to carefully choose how I spend.
The menu item I chose is from Outback Steakhouse. I made the Outback Sirloin, 12 ounce cut, with a side of Fresh Steamed Broccoli, and a Hot Baked Potato. The cost of this meal at Outback is $18.99.


$18.99 meal
    3.49 soda
    1.81 8% tax
    4.00 tip
$ 28.29  Total per meal cost


I bought a 2.5 pound Certified Angus Beef from the grocery. It was on sale for $4.99 a pound. It gave me 40 ounces of meat. That's a little more than I needed for 3-12ounce steaks, so I had a little extra and some gets lost in the cooking. I also bought 3 potatoes, and broccoli.


$3.73  Beef
    .43  1/4# broccoli
    .25  potatoes
    .25  soda
  4.66  Total per meal cost



Of course, I know that there are advantages to eating out. You don't have to clean up and do dishes, you get to get away, enjoy yourself, and have someone wait on you. You also get certain things extra. At Outback, it's that special, yummy bread they serve you. The purpose of this new series is not to talk you out of eating out, but to show you how you can eat at home like you can eat out, but for a lot less!

 

Stuffed Meatballs / #SundaySupper

Tweet

This Stuffed Meatballs Appetizer comes together easily and is fun to eat with friends and family. We are talking about eating, sharing and enjoying the heck out of meatballs today for #SundaySupper!  The meatballs can be put together ahead of time by letting them simmer in a crock pot, and then just place the meatballs in the bread cups when it is party time!

Irish Stew

Tweet

I make Irish Stew every year. Earlier this year, I bought a new cookbook called, "The Complete Irish Pub Cookbook". So, I decided to try their recipe this year, and I liked it.  If possible, make the stew a day ahead of time. The extra time allows the flavors to meld together for a rich, deep taste. As in most years, I used beef in place of the lamb. I hope you enjoy it!

Beef and Cheese Quesadilla w/ Pico de Gallo, Guacamole and Baked Chips

Tweet

Happy Cinco de Mayo! This is always a happy, fun day at our house, because we love any reason to celebrate and eat Mexican food! The Holiday Recipe Club is also celebrating today, so it's party, party, party!!! I chose tomatoes as my ingredient this time around, and nothing says tomatoes and yummy, like pico de gallo. I rounded out this meal with a Steak and Cheese Quesadilla, a fresh bowl of guacamole, and some home baked chips! Have a great Day!

Pico De Gallo

3 Roma Tomatoes

1 small Onion

1/2 Serrano Chili

1/2 cup fresh Cilantro

1 tablespoon Lime Juice

11/2 teaspoon Salt

Cut your tomatoes in half.

Cut each half into 8 strips.

Chop all the strips into diced tomatoes.

Dice your onion, by cutting it in half, slicing it down,

and then chopping the slices.

My onion pics did not turn out, sorry.

Cut your serrano pepper down the middle, lengthwise.

Remove all the seeds and membrane by running

the pepper under cold water. Remember that the pepper

transfers to your hands, so don't touch your eyes 

until you wash your hands.

Cut the half of the chili into 4 strips.

Place the strips right next to each other, and chop 

the strips into tiny diced pieces.

Mix everything in a bowl.

Pull the cilantro leaves off the stem, roll them together,

and chop. Add to bowl.

Roll the lime around on the counter, under your hand.

This loosens up the pulp, and helps the juices flow.

Cut in half, and squeeze out your lime juice.

Add to bowl and stir.

Add salt now, if you want. I don't add it, and I think it

is delicious!

Let sit for about an hour at room temperature.

This will let all the flavors infuse into a delicious dish.

Baked Tortilla Chips

 Pan spray

2 Flour Tortillas

Garlic Powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 Fold your tortilla in half, and cut each half into six chips.

Spray a baking pan with pan spray. Place each 

cut tortilla chip on the pan with a little space

between each one. Very lightly spray

pan spray over chips. Sprinkle with garlic powder.

If you would like to add salt, now is the time.

Bake at for 8-10 minutes.

Remove and let cool.

Easy Guacamole

1 Avocado

1/4 -1/2 Pico de Gallo

1 tablespoon Sour Cream

1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Cut a fresh, ripe avocado in half, around.

Remove the seed.

You want your avocado soft to the touch, but not too soft.

They can go from good to bad in no time.

Scoop the avocado out with a spoon, and smush down 

with a fork in the bowl. (Yes, smush is a technical, culinary term).

Add the pico de gallo, sour cream, and lemon juice.

Mix well. This should be made right before serving.

You can refrigerate it for a very short time(30 minutes)

but it taste its best when eaten right after being made.

Beef and Chicken Quesadilla

 1/2 pound Sirloin Steak

Shredded Fiesta Blend Cheese

Onion

2 Flour Tortillas

Slice your steak down into wafer thin pieces.

Place the meat on your cutting board, and tenderize

with a meat mallet. Then turn the meat over and do it

on the other side.

Cut your onion into slices.

Pan fry the steak. It will need to be turned

over a couple times to be done.

You can make a half a quesadilla or a whole. To make a half,

 just sprinkle the quesadilla with cheese, top with steak and 

onion on half and fold. 

When you fry, just fry half then flip 

to other side.

To make a whole quesadilla, place the tortilla with cheese 

and meat in the bottom of the frying pan. Cook bottom until brown,

and then flip entire quesadilla over. I did this by 

flipping the quesadilla onto a plate and then sliding it back 

into the pan.

Cut quesadilla into 8 pieces and serve.

Top with sour cream and guacamole,

salsa and chips on the side.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
