This is a quick recipe when you want a meal with minimal clean up. I made this version with New York strip steak as it was on sale cheaper than sirloin. Ingredients: 8 to 12 ounces of steak  Marinade: 2 tablespoons olive oil  2 teaspoons Worcester sauce 1/4 teaspoon onion powder  1/4 teaspoon garlic powder  1/8 teaspoon salt Butter: 3 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon beef tallow (optional) 1/4 teaspoon thyme  1/2 teaspoon parsley  1/4 teaspoon onion powder  1/4 teaspoon garlic powder  1/8 teaspoon tomato powder (optional) New potatoes and fresh green beans based on your appetite  Begin by slicing your steak into bite size pieces. Add the steak and marinade ingredients to a zip top bag. Massage to get the steak well coated. Allow to rest at least an hour. In the meantime, half the potatoes and trim the beans. Lightly coat the veggies with a drizzle of olive oil. Preheat you oven to 400 degrees. When the oven is ready, ba...

Liege waffles are a thing of beauty. Made with a yeast batter and Belgium pearl sugar, they are a small caramel coated delight. Prep time is roughly an hour, so they can still be made and consumed the same morning. One important note, make sure you have Belgium NOT Swedish pearl sugar.  Ingredients: 1/2 plus 2 tablespoons cup of warm milk (about 105°) 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (packet) 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar  2 sticks room temperature unsalted butter 3 large eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract  2 1/2 cups all purpose flour  1/2 teaspoon kosher salt  Cooking spray Begin by combining milk, yeast, and brown sugar. Allow for the yeast to bloom about 15 minutes. It should be nice and foamy. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the Belgian sugar and the spray oil, on the bowl of your stand mixer. Using a dough hook blend until a firm dough ball forms pulling away from the sides. Cover and allow about an hour or until the dough...

My genealogy is pretty straight forward. Scotch-Irish, and English. Although I wasn't raised on much cultural foods, I thoroughly enjoy these Irish potato pancakes. You can find hundreds of online posts, and every one will be different. Depending on the area of Ireland they come from, they will vary greatly. Ingredients: 4 medium size russet potatoes  1/4 cup finely diced onions  2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup potato flour or AP flour 1 clove garlic I egg  Salt and pepper to taste. To begin, peel 2 potatoes and dice them. Add the pieces to a pan of water, then cook until tender. Add the butter and mash them to a stiff mashed potato consistency. Peel the other potatoes and shred them with a box grater, or food processor. Lightly sprinkle with salt then wrap the shreds in a kitchen towel. Squeeze as much moisture out as much as possible. Combine the mashed with the shreds adding the flour, egg, garlic, and onions. Mix well. Heat a frying pan over mediu...

My kitchen time has been very limited lately. Visiting my daughter and her family this weekend gave me a chance to finally cook something. My son-in-law said he wanted some tacos, but didn't have any ground beef. He also said he had a package of chicken thighs that need to be used. This is the result. Ingredients: 6 boneless chicken thighs  1 poblano pepper 1 bell pepper  1 sweet onion 3 cloves of garlic  1 can of fire roasted tomatoes ( I used a large can because that was available, but recommend a small can) 1 teaspoon chilli powder  1 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon  1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika  1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder. 1 teaspoon sugar Begin by slicing the onion, bell pepper, and poblano. In a sauce pan or Dutch oven, add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sweat the veggies until tender and translucent. Add the can of crushed tomatoes and all the spices and mix well. Cook for about a half hour.  Next a...

Let's be honest, I go to a steakhouse for the rolls, as much as the steak. Hot and fluffy with a cinnamon honey butter, I have to be careful not to fill up on this delicious bread before my meal arrives. This is a great recipe for creating these beauties at home  Ingredients: 1 tablespoon honey 6 tablespoons sugar 1 packet  active dry yeast 1 1/4 cup whole milk, warmed  7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided 1 teaspoon kosher salt  2 large eggs, room temperature 3 ½ cups  bread flour In the bowl of a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, combine the 1/4 cup warm milk with 1 teaspoon of honey and yeast, letting it activate the yeast for about 5 minutes. Add the sugar, milk, 6 tablespoons melted butter, and salt and mix until just combined. Add in the eggs, and mix to combine. Add the flour to the yeast mixture, and mix until combined. Scrape the dough into the center of the bowl. Knead the dough on  speed 2 for 4 to 5 minutes occasion...

There is something about a freshly toasted English muffin. Split,with all the nooks and crannies filled with melted butter, I think it makes a perfect breakfast side. This is an easy recipe, but takes all night for bulk fermenting. Ingredients: 100 grams active starter 15 grams sugar or honey 225 grams milk 125 grams water 45 grams unsalted butter softened  500 grams AP flour Corn meal for dusting  Start with 100 grams of very active starter. It should be bubbly and risen. Add starter to the bowl of your stand mixer.  Add all ingredients except the corn meal. Using a dough hook, mix on low speed for 1 minute. Allow the dough to autolysis for about 60 minutes. This allows the flour to absorb the water and milk. After resting, knead dough on speed 2 for about 8 to 10 minutes. Dough will be shiny and somewhat sticky. Cover bowl and allow to rise overnight. You can also transfer the dough to a graduated bowl to better track rise. ...
