Okay, so I'm back to food....again.
I can't help it. When I cook something delicious and simple, I love to share it. Do any of you use these recipes? I would love to know. Anyway, here is what I cooked for Ike and his dad for dinner tonight...
Steak! Not just steak, jumbo steak! (to all of you vegetarians, ignore this carnivorous part).
Every summer my parents buy a steer at the county fair (with another couple, or maybe two, because that's a lot of meat!). They have it butchered and are stocked with meat for probably the whole year. And It. Is. Good! It could probably stand on it's own, but I marinated it anyway. Here is the recipe for the marinade (thanks to the Pioneer Woman AGAIN).
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Cooking Sherry
3 Tablespoons Honey
2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
2 Tablespoons minced Ginger
3 cloves minced Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
You mix it all together. Put your steaks (we used two enormous steaks, and this was plenty) in big zip lock bags, pour the marinade over it, seal and let it set for 3-5 hours (I did it for 2 hours and it was still great).
After you're done you can strain all the garlic, etc out of the marinade, add 1/2 cup of water to it in a saucepan and boil for 10 minutes. It made a great dip for the meat.
(Somehow I had cooking sherry and sesame oil in the pantry. Who knows why?!)
Next, the roasted potatoes. Even easier.
I chopped up a bunch of red potatoes, put them in a bowl and tossed them with 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil and a package of dry ranch dip. I put them on a baking sheet and baked them for 35 minutes at 450 degrees.
And finally....the Peach Cobbler.
This meal reminded me of the dinners my mom cooked for us on Sundays growing up. Complete comfort food. Noticing a pattern?
However, I don't think she had a shot of whisky while she cooked....
