Onion Pepper Steak with jasmine rice and early harvest peas

2 to 3 large round steaks, cut into serving sizes
1 Tbsp. pepper
4 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 cups beef broth

Rub steaks with pepper. Melt butter in a skillet and sear steaks on both sides. Add garlic and onions as saute for about 5 minutes. Combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce and tomatoes. Pour over steaks and simmer for approximately 25 minutes or to desired doneness. Serve over rice with sauce left over in the pan. If you need to thicken the sauce you can add several tablespoons of flour to the sauce and stir over medium heat until sauce thickens up.

Red Macaroni is nothing like spagetti.

you cook a roast (crockpot) Cook up some macaroni shells. Shred roast in with macaroni. Mix in 1 small can of tomato paste. Mix in some of the juice from the roast to desired taste.

This is a very old family recipe.

Having kidney troubles, Newcomer??? http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif
Mmmmm red macaroni sounds yummy

[Newcomer]

Yep, I have another Kidney Stone. last time was 2 1/2 years ago I passed 3.

[monkey]

Sorry to hear it. I understand they are quite painful. I hope it passes soon.

[Ironhorse]

I keep getting those too. Have finally started drinking cranberry juice everyday, just to keep from getting them. Seems to be helping. When I get them, I'm practically immobilized. Always seem to get them on the same side too, have had 4 so far in the last two years.

[Yosemite_Wolf]

nachos and margaritas at El Cids with Kim and Epic Steve and WarrenMeister and Sheila. Then I came home and cooked up some baby back ribs, corn and bread. Mmmmmm

[Yosemite_Wolf]

Shepards Pie and salad.

[beautiful_mess38]

Went to the pool with 3 kids came home with 6. Good thing I took out a big piece of london broil.

[Dodgergirl]

Um, chips & salsa earlier, then prime rib & cream of chicken soup later in the evening at NGI.

But gotta say the steak I just BBQ'ed (yup bbq'ed at 1 am) was incredible. Elvis & I devoured it...

[monkey]

Last night was Steak Diane. It was sooooooo good. Ate every last bit of it too.

[Summer]

Monkey, what is steak Diane? I've been in the mood for steak but the BBQ is kaput. Tonight we're having chicken cordon bleu (already prepared) and scalloped potatoes - and perhaps a Devils food cake (got an urge for it now!) LOL

[monkey]

Steak Diane is a filet mignon with a brandy, mushroom, cream sauce.

Originally the name "Steak Diane" came from way back when a man would come home starved after a long hard days work and would say;

I am Dying for a steak. hence Dying became Diane (Steak Diane)

(The statemant above came from the book called : Necomers book of little fibs" http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

[monkey]

Newcomer, isn't it a little early for you to be drinking so much? http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/laugh.gif

[Summer]

OMG, that sounds totally incredible!

[monkey]

STEAK DIANE #1

2 lbs. filet of beef
3 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. oil
1/4 c. brandy or cognac
1/4 c. shallots, minced
1/2 c. parsley
2/3 c. sliced mushrooms
1 tbsp. Worcestershire
2 tbsp. Sauce
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/4 c. dry Madeira
Salt, freshly ground pepper

Cut beef into thin slices. Heat butter and oil in large skillet. Brown quickly on both sides. Pour brandy over meat; ignite. Let flames burn out; remove meat to platter. Pour off most of butter and oil. Lower heat.
Add to skillet shallots, parsley, mushrooms, Worcestershire, Sauce, mustard, Madeira and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil; simmer 2 minutes. Add beef for a minute or two. Place beef back on platter; pour sauce over.

This is not the NGI recipe, but Chef is not available, so I pulled this one off the internet. I'm sure it's pretty close to ours.

[Summer]

I do not have enough confidence to try this recipe - would probably ruin an expensive cut of meat - but maybe should just go to NGI? http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/stickdance.gif

[Dodgergirl]

Do it before the middle of October, the 23rd I believe.... cause after that ya gotta wait until next Spring....
Dinner at NGI is an experience, and the food is incredible (damn, theres that word again...) http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/bonk.gif

[Sandman]

I'm drooling. I need to make a trip up to NGI. Maybe now that I got the garden photos up for monkey she will allow me to come eat there again. http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/lol.gif

Catdabrat, I tried your leftover turkey and noodle casserole. It was so excellent! Only thing was with my family's taste of high spiciness, they kicked it up a notch with one person adding hot sauce, another Lawry's seasoning salt and another with ground pepper and more hot flakes. All in all it is a great recipe for leftover turkey. Planning on doing the Monte Cristos tomorrow. Your family must be so lucky having you as a cook!

1 medium portobello mushroom cap, finely chopped
1 /2 cup (a couple of glugs) red wine
3 /4 cup beef broth or stock, see cook's notes
1 (28 to 32 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, see cook's notes
A handful chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 pound rigatoni, cooked to al dente
Parmesan or Romano, grated, for garnish
Warm crusty bread, as an accompaniment

Heat a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium high heat. Go once around the pan with a slow stream of extra virgin olive oil. Add crushed pepper flakes and infuse oil 10 seconds. Add beef, onions, garlic, and seasonings. Brown meat for 5 minutes; add mushrooms and cook 5 minutes more. Add wine and reduce 1 minute. Add broth and tomatoes to sauce and reduce heat to low. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes to combine flavors. Toss pasta with half of the sauce and serve with extra sauce for topping. Pass grated Parmesan or Romano and warm crusty bread at the table.

i add chili pepper flakes for heat. I use spaghetti instead of rigatoni.

Not too sure what I am having yet. Will probably make chicken or lasanga. Mmm

Looks like I'm roasting a turkey for tonight..., probably add mashed potatoes & gravy, veggies & open a bottle of Chardonnay.
