I won. She flinched.

She begged me to grill lamb chops. Haha.

 

Awesome, I love lamb chops. Perfect with the corn also.

 

My wife came back from the store with a eye-of-round beef roast. My experience with these are that they are generally tough and dry.
I injected it with a mixture of worchestershire, oil, lemon juice, garlic etc. and used a method (found on google) where you put it in a 500degree oven for about 25 minutes, then turn the oven off but leave the roast in the oven for 2 hours to slowly continue to cook while the oven is still hot, but gradually cools down to prevent the outside from drying out. It worked great and was very tender and juicy.

I had some horseradish sauce rubbed on the outside with garlic pepper and bar-b-q spices. I used the drippings to make a gravy for the rice, and drizzled some of the extra gravy over the meat after cutting it.

 

Thanks I haven't really tried food photography yet and took a shot of our dinner since it looked delicious. It was a grilled ribeye marinated with Allegro marinade for about 20 min cooked med rare. Velveeta cheesy broccoli and red potatoes with olive oil and Lipton onion soup mix.

 

One of the kids' favorite side dishes with grilled chicken, tjops or steaks:

We love grits for breakfast - either as a hot cereal with butter, milk and sugar or just with butter along with bacon, sausage, eggs etc.
Anyway, we had some leftovers from this morning so I put it in round containers and in the refridgerator. When grits cool down it "gells" so it takes on the shape of the container. Typically if I do this for grilling side dish I will mix bacon bits, mushroom etc. into the grits, but these were just plain breakfast leftovers.



Cut the cylinders in slices and add a little bbq spice, Grill Mates Molasses Bacon in this case.



Put it on the grill to reheat and get a little brown, and then top with cheese. We had these with grilled chicken tonight.

 

U SIR SUCK!!!!!! Im sitting at work bored and even worse hungry... and you HAD to post this pic of such food looking food!!!!!!!! DAMN U!!!!!!!! lol

 

I hate it when that happens. The worst time to look at this thread is when you are hungry.

 

I buy eye of round any time I find it on a good sale. It makes the BEST whole muscle beef jerky.

 

SO, I was challenged to solo a pizza for the family tonight whilst they braved the wilds of the Gardens Mall. Without further ado:

Step one, pull the dough out of the fridge about 90 minutes before cooking. Yea, I could make it totally by hand...but there's times when its just easier to pay less than $3 to have it made. Real dough!



Chop up and saute some sweet onions, sweet red peppers, fresh mushrooms:



I also grated up about 12oz of mozz, and crumbled up and cooked a half pound of italian sausage. I cheated and store-bought a 5oz package of pepperoni as well.

So, step one: Rollin, rollin, rollin!


Pro tip: Pre-heat the stone in the oven for a solid 10 mins. Also, bake the crust with nothing on it for about 4-5 mins to get it to start setting. The rest is silly easy.

After the 5 minute pre-bake:


DON'T go nuts on the sauce. You'd be really surprised how little you need. This was about 3 tablespoons.


First cheese layer, about 6 oz of the mozz:


Pepperoni, sausage, peppers, mushrooms, onions. The step-daughter is a mutant of some kind, and she just likes cheese:


Top with another 2oz or so of the mozz:



Into a 400 degrees fer about 12-13 mins, depending. Turning once if you have a shitty oven like I do.

Then, pull it out and add another layer of pepperoni and the rest of the mozz, because reasons.


5 more minutes, then hit briefly with the broiler



Top with a wee sprinkle of parmesan:



NOMNOMNOM

 

Pizza looks really good. I make my own every now and then and to be honest I stopped making my own dough a while ago just faster to use like what you have. Sometimes I used to get it from a local pizza shop where some friends worked. I usually do an everything pie, a cheese pie and a nice garlic cheese bread. GOOD stuff. Pizza stones are awesome finally had to get a new one the old one was getting very nasty looking and came to it's untimely demise from the floor lol

 

Here is a pic of the cheese squares I made the other day...

 

Since its berry season I made Bluberry Muffins today from scratch. I used the recipe from my America's Test Kitchen Cookbook
