A Better Bistro Steak at Home

This steak is a “sleeper”and the shallot, butter, wine sauce finishes it off nicely.  I would lean more toward the 3 minute mark on the cooking if you like the looks of the steaks on the right.  If you wanted a barbeque flavor you could finish it off outside instead of in the oven, but […]

Luscious Lamb Stew

  I don’t know why the chicken broth and the Vermouth works so well in this recipe, but it just does!  Perfect for a chilly night’s meal served with a warm artisan bread loaf.  It’s even better the next day when it has all night to meld those flavors together. Lamb Stew 2 T olive […]

Tantalizing Taco Salad

One of my favorite meals.  This taco filling is not too spicy so the kids are big fans of it.  You can always add hot sauce if you want to kick it up a notch.  My family is in love with “Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce”, which is an Asian hot sauce found in most stores.  […]

“I’ll Have Another” Delightful Beef Dish

 Funny story about “I’ll Have Another” – I actually picked the horse to win in the Kentucky Derby.  I just loved the sound of the horse’s name.  In addition, the horse had great odds if he won. Too bad I wasn’t there to place a bet. . .  that boy brought home the bacon.  By […]

“Wine” Not the Beef?

This is a truly wonderful dish for guests or special occasions!  The aroma of it cooking is enough to activate the salivary glands of any man, woman, or beast standing within fifty feet! If you don’t have a cast iron frying pan it is time to get one.  You will find that a grill is […]
