Grilled Flanken Style Korean Short Ribs (Galbi or Kalbi) by John Spottiswood

I adapted this recipe from one in Bon Appetit and another from Chef John (foodwishes.blogspot.com). Chef John recommended blending an asian pear into the marinade to help tenderize the meat. I didn't have an asian pear, so I substituted a fuji apple and reduced the sugar slightly. I thought the resulting marinade, and ribs, were…

Skinny Sliders with Caramelized Onions, Yum! by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Minimizing is the new super-sizing and these little sliders are terrific. No need to heat up the barbecue because these mini burgers are best made on a George Foreman grill, Panini maker or in a pan. The deep, subtle sweetness of the caramelized onions really add a wonderful flavor to these little gems. To make them skinny, I’m using…

Super Bowl Sirloin Soft Tacos by Patti Fisher

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on the grill but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or…

Firecracker Chili by Patti Fisher

We had 3lbs. of stew beef and a few ideas. Stew, for instance, but that included veggies Ken doesn’t like. I suggested chili and was scoffed at because Ken is the chili master…a well deserved title. But, today I actually impressed him with my first from scratch chili. Woo Hoo ! Lots of smoky heat and tender meat. Excellent!!!…

Traditional Beef Stew by Chef Chuck

Traditional Beef Stew has been around for many years. Less desirable pieces of meat like the butt, pieces from the leg, and shoulder are most commonly used when making stews. These fibrous cuts of meat require longer cooking times with a variable amount of liquid- a cooking technique called braising. Braising uses moist and dry heat.…

Spanish Steak Sofrito by Patti Fisher

This is a simple but elegant dish that will impress your dinner guests and a nice change for the traditional holiday fare. It’s a sure winner for tailgating. One of our Face Book friends posted a picture of this when he went out to dinner. I had never seen this and I had to know more because it looked so good. So, I did some…

Cuban-style Steaks in Garlic-Lime Marinade by John Spottiswood

These steaks are a treat and a great way to make an inexpensive cut of meat memorable. You can use bottom round (best), top round, or a thin cut sirloin for this dish. The steaks should be cut about a 1/2 thick. Mine were a little thicker, so I pounded them with a mallet to thin them. In Cuban restaurants, this recipe is called…

Reuben Casserole by Glenn

I love Reuben sandwiches and wanted to have another way of enjoying this hearty treat. So I created this casserole using a homemade Thousand Islands dressing without the mayo. It takes some pre-planning but is very well worth it. Enjoy!

Frizzed Beef Gravy by Glenn

Also known as Creamed Dry Beef it is a breakfast staple among the Pennsylvania Dutch and is often served as a luncheon treat over a split baked potato. This is NOT S.O.S. it is what S.O.S. aspires to be.
