Dang Tasty Steak with Zesty Vegis

steakvegis
Steak Marinade:

About 2-3T Tay’s Herbed Garlic Oil (Recipe below)
Splash of Worcestershire
Shake of McCormick’s Montreal Steak Seasoning

Hickory Wood Chips and Charcoal Grill!
Plain Salted Butter, melted

Brush Tay’s Oil over Steaks. Splash each side with Worcestershire and brush around. Season each side with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Saran wrap. Marinade for 4 hours, or so.
I use Charcoal Grill with a Cast Iron Griddle that I set onto the grate of grill. I get the griddle to 500 degrees, or so. I lay Hickory Wood Chips around griddle and charcoal. I sear the steak for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then, I rotate it 45degrees (NOT FLIP, just turn it to get those nice grill marks), then, it sits for another 1 minute and 30 seconds.  Then, FLIP your steaks. DRIZZLE seared side with Melted Butter. And, repeat steps. Don’t forget to drizzle with Butter once done.
ONCE DONE… Add onto foil and fold corners in, sealing it into the foil. ALLOW TO SET FOR 7-8minutes!!! DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
We like ours with a nice pink inside. You can do 3-5 minutes on each side.

Tay’s Chimi Sauce
(Chimichurri- USE THIS!):

1T EVOO
6T Mayo
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1T White Wine Vinegar
2T Balsamic Vinegar
2T Dried Cilantro
1tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1/4tsp Cumin
1/4tsp Pepper
1tsp Dried Oregano
A lil shy 1/4tsp Sea Salt

Buns/Wraps of Choice (Also, AMAZING on Softshells the next day!)
Shredded Moz. Cheese
Toppings: Onions, sliced thin. Fresh Tomatoes or Pico (I used fresh tom.)

Evenly coat Chops with Marinade and Marinade about 5 hours. Mix Tay’s Chimi Sauce Ingredients, set in fridge til use.
BEST on Charcoal Grill (Tastes amazing if done right. If it tastes like Smoke… You are NOT doing it right!). Or cook in skillet… Just cook the Meat! 
Once cooked, allow to set a minute, covered. Thin Slice cooked Meat. Lay flat and top with Shredded Cheese and melt. Add to Buns/Wraps with Toppings of choice.
(Some topped with A LITTLE Ketchup on one Bun Slice, then Chimi Sauce on Other Bun Slice. Fresh Tomato Sliced. Red Onion Slices. Some liked it with no Ketchup, just Chimi Sauce).
 – Also, an Optional Topping: Dried Oregano seasoned Mushrooms sauteed w/ Butter Spray or Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I skipped.
LEFTOVERS?  Melt Cheese over Meat (I used PepperJack). Top Meat with Sunny Side Up Eggs. Serve with Toast and a lil Salsa on side! (I skipped Chimi Sauce).


Skillet Tip: Lightly Oil or Spray pan. Get to a nice heat, to a SIZZLE. Sear Pork on each side about 3-4 minutes, or til done. Allow to set a few minutes.
Charcoal Grilling Tip: We build a hill in center of grill. Light charcoal (We use Regular Charcoal for above recipe). Once coals are ashy grey, they are ready. Place on food, on outside of hill of charcoal. Prop Grill Open, using a Slightly crushed pop can. Chicken tip: Lay Chicken on outer part of grill (Outside hill). Once Chicken isn’t sticking to grate, so much, it’s ready to flip. Flip once, that’s it. Cook til Thermometer reads correct temp.
AVOID TOO MANY FLIPS. Allow meats to sizzle once it hits grill. Seal that side, flip. Seal other side. Locks in Moisture! Also, Meat cooks as it sits!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Sirloin Steak (I threw mine in frozen)
4 Beef Broth Cubes
2 Herb Ox Beef Broth Pkts. (Or use 2 more Beef Cubes) *SEE NOTES

1T Soy Sauce
1/2T Worcestershire
About 1/8tsp Liquid Hickory Smoke
1tsp Dried Oregano
1/2tsp Onion Powder
1/2tsp Garlic Powder
1/4tsp Pepper
1/8tsp Sea Salt
1.5c Mushrooms, sliced
1 nice sized CUP Onion
1 Celery, halved long way, sliced
1/4c thawed Frozen Peas (Last 30min.) *Optional, I forgot

2c uncooked Egg Noodles (Last 30 minutes, about)

LIGHTLY/BARELY brush Crock Pot with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (A LITTLE)-Yes, do! Add all, except Peas and Egg Noodles. Cook on LOW for 6 hours. Last 30minutes, add in THAWED Peas and Egg Noodles. Once Noodles are soft. Eat. OPTIONAL to add 1tsp of Horseradish Topping to each Bowl Served (Recipe Below). House was split on that.
Being Lazy and forgetting to thaw, I just threw a Frozen Slab of Sirloin into the Crock. Once thawed, I cut into cubes, and added back to crock. Tasted just fine. 
* NOTES: In an attempt to cut “Some” Salt, I used 2 Herb Ox Beef Broth Packets in place of 2 Beef Broth Cubes. Herb Ox is a NO SODIUM Broth. You can VERY WELL use Beef Broth Cubes in it’s place. So, 6 Beef Broth Cubes, if skipping Herb Ox.

1T Prepared Horseradish Sauce
4T Sour Cream
1/8tsp Mustard Powder
1/2tsp Lemon Juice

1/4 tsp Hot Pepper Sauce (We used Louisiana)
1 tsp Regular Mustard
1 tsp Onion Powder
a sprinkle of Cayenne Powder
1T + 1/2T Garlic Powder
3T dried Basil
1T + 1/2T Dried Parsley
1 tsp Course Black Pepper
1 tsp Dried Minced Garlic (I’ve used 2tsp Fresh Garlic, as well)

Vegis:
Green Pepper, sliced into strips
Red Pepper, sliced into strips
Onions, sliced into strips
Mushrooms, sliced into strips
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Shakes of Dried Oregano

Steaks: Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Pour marinade over desired type of meat (Preferably a slab of dead cow or chops). Cover, and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Cook meat as desired. Try our best technique for a good steak. (Below). Cut up. Vegis: Cut up. Lay into foil. Drizzle a LITTLE Olive Oil on. Sprinkle with Oregano. Cook, we do on grill. Butter Flavor Cooking Spray skillet. Brown each side of Toast. OR Grill each side of Toast, Butter it.
Top with Toppings.

Steak Cooking Tip: Olive oil in skillet, get that pan hot, I mean I want that steak to sizzle or you’ve ruined your whole meal. Sear for about 3minutes on each side, you want a nice brown, but not fully cooked. Just leave it cook, don’t move it too much! This locks the juices in. Juices rise when cooked. By searing each side, you lock those juices in. Transfer and bake, or grill til desired. Remember that the steaks cook as they rest and absorb the juices. So, allow a few minute rest and cook to just under desired steak- Rare, Med., etc. Or all the way on grill, just be sure it sizzles once it hit it! No constant flipping!!! One and done!

betterington

2 Pork Chops (I used Bone In) *See Notes
Marinade (5 Hours):
1tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1-2tsp Soy Sauce (I believe I did 2)
1.5tsp Dried Oregano
1/2tsp Dried Thyme
1/2tsp Pepper
1/8tsp Sea Salt (Optional)
1tsp Mustard

1T Flour
2tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2c Mushrooms, chopped
3/4c Onions
1tsp White Wine (Movendo- USE!)
1/4tsp Garlic Powder
1.5tsp Worcestershire
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
1/2tsp Dried Oregano

Fridge Croissants (I used 2 pkgs.)

Preheat Oven per Croissant Instructions.
Meat: Marinade Chops 5-6 hours in Ziploc Bag. Remove Bones, dice. Place BACK into Marinade Bag. Add in half Flour, mix around. Add in other half, mix around. Heat 2tsp Oil in skillet. Add in Pork. Once browned, add in Broth and REAL Bacon Pieces. Cook and stir, til juices are cooked down.
Mushroom Mix: Heat Oil in skillet. Add in Onions, then Mushrooms. Cook some. Add in rest. Cook juices down and til Mushrooms are softer. Don’t burn.
Rolling: I usually use the smaller packages of Croissants. I use 2 per each BETTER-ington. Press out into a square with fingers. From one corner to another, line with Mushroom Mix, then Pork Mix. Fold in corners to seal. Bake according to Croissant Instructions.
((Also, can bake into a pie! Layer it on in for a BETTERington Pie))

Notes: Steak Can be Used! Even Chicken (Use Chicken Broth). Even Healthier- Serve in Egg Roll Wraps, Butter Flavor Cooking Spray Skillet, Brown each side, Sprinkle with Garlic Powder. Or in Muffin Pan using Wontons. Do the Taco Wonton Technique- Lay one Wonton in Muffin Cup. Top with Mushroom Mix, press another Wonton on top of that, then add in Pork Mix (Cheese Optional-Provolone or Moz.)

2lbs of meat I used this time around. Cut into strips about 1/4in thick. Sometimes, I make nuggets. Your choice. They say to cut off the fat. After long periods, it can go rancid. But, we eat this so fast there’s no need to worry about ever getting there.

Country Fried Cow and Mashed Taters (Country Fried Steak N Mashed Potatoes)

countrysteak1

2lb. Steak, cut into larger chunks
1/3c + few TBS. Vegetable Oil
In bowl mix:
1c Flour
1/2 tsp Seasonal Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4-1/2 tsp Paprika
1T Grated Parmesan Cheese (Store shelf kind)
Beat together:
2 Eggs
1/2c Heavy Whipping Cream
1/8 tsp Sea Salt (Optional)
1 tsp Louisiana Hot Sauce (Optional – I forgot)
SAUCE:
1 can Cream of Chicken
1 Packet Turkey Gravy
1/2c Sour Cream

Mix well the sauce. Set in fridge. Mix flour mixture in one bowl. Beat egg mixture in separate bowl. Toss steak with flour mixture. Pour egg mixture over steak in flour. Give a slight toss. Heat oil on skillet. Brown all sides.
For Tender Fried Steaks (Pictured):
Slightly Butter Flavor Cooking Spray Crockpot. ADD IN SAUCE first. Lay fried steak on top. Leave it be. If stirring is needed, Stir Minimumly! Cook on LOW, or even warm, for 4 hours. I say DO NOT stir often, due to browned batter falling off. It’s a mess if you do. BUT, a delicious mess!!!
OR
Preheat oven 350. Fry in oil til browned. Move to baking dish. Pour sauce over. Bake for 15minutes. Slightly turn. Bake another 10-15 minutes. Or until desired doneness.
OR Crispier(Works for whole steaks, as well):
If you add a lil baking powder and baking soda into the egg mixture for extra crunch, it will turnout too… Fry. Bake at 350, if needed, to desired steak doneness. Heat sauce in pan, top sauce mixture RIGHT BEFORE serving.
Your option on cooking method. All work.
Also, I pour egg batter over, because I think it’s easier than alternate dipping (Flour, egg, then BACK into flour), which I lose most batter on fingers. Especially, working with small pieces. Whole steaks alternate works.
