Grilled Tri Tip

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

This recipe is inspired by one I found here that was very highly rated. My version is scaled down and has my own twists, of course. This turned out quite well, and I'm glad I gave it a try. I can definitely see doing this again over ...

First Grilling of the Season

Sunday, May 22nd, 2011

We fired up the grill for the first time this year, finally. Fresh thick asparagus spears, tiny "marble" potatoes, and little thinly cut t-bone steaks, served with some sautéed garlicky mushrooms. :-)

New England Boiled Dinner

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

The traditional Irish-American dinner makes another appearance for Saint Patrick's Day. A New England Boiled Dinner is corned beef, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage simmered together for a hearty dinner that's incredibly easy to put together. See the link above for my recipe!

Bulgogi

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

Tonight I made my galbi recipe with some thinly sliced beef bottom round to make bulgogi. We like the galbi much better. This was kinda jerky-like, tasty jerky, but still not the best texture for dinner :-P I served this with some steamed broccoli and ...

Biscuits and Hamburger Gravy

Sunday, February 13th, 2011

This was a quick hearty breakfast constructed from yesterdays leftovers - a leftover hamburger patty and a couple biscuits. It can easily be scaled up to serve more, browning meat from scratch and adding seasoning as you like. If you prefer a country gravy, just replace the beef ...

Slow Roasted Top Round Roast

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

Tonight's dinner was adapted from this one on AllRecipes. The high heat followed by very low and slow works well for tougher cuts of beef like top round. While it will never be as tender as a porterhouse or rib eye, it is still good. I served ...

Beefalo Burgers

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Dinner tonight was some very tasty beefalo burgers. Beefalo (no, that's not a typo) is a cross-breed between domestic cattle and the North American Bison. It's significantly lower in fat and somewhat higher in protein and nutrients than beef. I grilled these up in a grill pan ...
