Beef and Broccoli with Cauliflower Rice

Image
Beef and Broccoli served over rice with a substitution of cauliflower rice for those on the New Year's Resolution diets is the casserole of the week! Comfort food doesn't have to be fattening or loaded with carbs! Cauliflower is a great substitution for carb loaded vegetables and starches. It has a neutral taste that blends well with any flavors it is teamed. Try using it in place of rice or mashed potatoes!  Cut carrots at a diagonal and boil in salt water until tender-crisp. Cut the broccoli into flo rets. I also used some of the stems. I sliced the stems thin and boiled them the same as the carrots. I also sliced onions into large wedges and cooked them in a little butter covered to steam them until tender-crisp also. It is important not to over cook the vegetables. Cooked and cooled vegetables. London Broil, sliced thin against the grain, marinading in 1/4 soy sauce and 2 cloves of minced garlic for an hour or overnight. Bring a skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil to medium hi...

Simple Beef Stew

Sometimes the most comforting foods can be the simplest to make. I had stew meat in the freezer. I didn't have carrots or whole potatoes on hand, but I did have mashed potato flakes that the hubby bought when he went shopping last week. He also got some of that macaroni in the blue box! I know! Anyway! I dressed it up with sweet peas that I had on hand. My son rolled his eyes when his girlfriend, Aly mixed the stew, potatoes and peas all together, but I like it that way also! To each his/her own! 1-2 pounds of beef sirloin, cubed flour salt, pepper and garlic powder 1-2 tablespoons oil 1 pkg onion soup mix beef broth or water Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix about 1 cup of flour with a generous amount of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Coat the cubes of beef with the flour mixture. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Brown on all sides. If there is oil left in the pan, move the meat to the side and add a little flour to absorb the oil. Stir until smooth. Add enough...

Homemade Beef Jerky

This first time I made this was for Christmas gifts for the guys to take hunting... In turn, they brought me venison to make them some more! LOL  It must have been pretty good! I like making it in the oven better than a dehydrator. Basically, you put it in the oven and walk away... Your nose will remind you it's in the oven! 2 1/2 pounds lean round steak 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons liquid smoke � teaspoon onion powder � teaspoon garlic powder � teaspoon black powder Place the meat in the freezer for a couple of hours to make it hard and easier to cut into thin strips. Cut long narrow strips about 1/8� thick. For the marinade, combine the remaining ingredients in a gallon plastic bag. Add meat slices to the bag, seal and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Remove meat from the bag and drain. Line a cookie sheet with foil and place wire racks on top. Place meat slices on the racks, leaving a little space in between each slice. Place rack...
