a wicked good steak IV
Ingredients:
steak (filet mignon cut preferred!)
fresh rosemary
worcestershire sauce
kosher salt
1) Leave the steaks out on the counter for a little while to get the meat closer to room temperature.
2) Dry off by placing a paper towel below the meat while dabbing with another one on top.
3) Salt the meat, add fresh rosemary, and the pour some worcestershire sauce on it and press in firmly while ensuring full coverage.
4) Grill on medium heat for about 4min/side.
Veggie Spring Rolls w/ Jalapeno Soy Sauce
When I’m not cooking (most of the time) I’m living off of stuff found in the freezer section of Ralph’s. My latest addiction is Chung’s Veggie Spring Rolls.
The spring rolls come with a kind of sweet & sour sauce that is pretty good, but I was in the mood for something more spicy. If you cook a jalapeno in w/ the spring rolls and then mix that with a good amount of soy sauce you’ll have some easily made spicy dipping sauce.
Turtles
These are awesome and wicked simple.
Ingredients:
1 bag of pretzel snaps
1 bag of Rolos
1 bag of Pecan halves
Stack up a tray of pretzels and put a Rolo on top of each one. Put the tray in a preheated oven (350 degrees) for 3 minutes. The Rolos should be intact, but about to melt. Take the tray out of the oven and squish a halved pecan on top of each one. Place the tray in the refrigerator to cool. This is a crunchy, chewy, salty & sweet bite of awesomeness.
Caribbean Spice Wings
These are the best wings because they are made with the best sauce. If you haven’t tried any of the sauces from the allspicecafe go there now and buy them all! I usually make these with the Caribbean Spice as it is the mildest and a good warmup to non-hot sauce lovers. For a more potent batch, try either the Chipotle Garlic or the Cayenne Habanero (now with a XXX option!).
Ingredients:
3-5lbs. of fresh chicken wings
1 bottle of hot sauce from the allspicecafe
Grill the wings to perfection (this is usually a smokey endeavor as the wings are full of fat the burns off on the grill – make sure your neighbors aren’t quick to call the fire engines). Put the grilled wings into a bowl and pour in 1/2 to 1 full bottle of hot sauce (depending upon how many wings you have and how hot you want it to be). Move the wings around in the bowl with a wooden spoon until you have good sauce coverage all around. Enjoy! (and get some napkins)
