Meal 2- Garlic Stuffed Sirloin


This meal has to be one of my favorites! I really liked how the meat was so tender and had excellent flavor.



INGREDIENTS:
1 tbl. olive oil
1/4 c. of finely chopped fresh garlic.
1/2 c. thinly sliced green onions
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 3 lb. boneless top sirloin steak, cut two inches thick.

1. preheat grill or barbecue
2. heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over low heat. add garlic and cook for 5 minuets, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
3. add onions, increase heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until onions are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. stir in salt and pepper . remove from heat and let cool throughly.
4. trim excess fat from steak. make a horizontal cut through the steak, parallel to the surface, approximately 1 in from each side. cut to but not through the opposite side. spoon the cooled stuffing into the pocket, spreading evenly. secure the opening with wooden picks. (make sure you buy 2 inch sirloins for this because, I bought 4 1 inch thick sirloins and ended up having to stack two on top of each other and then securing them with shish kabob sticks, not fun. it turned out fine though)
5. place steak on grill on medium-low. cover grill and cook for 26-32 minutes for rare to medium, turning once. remove picks.
6. trim excess fat and carve the steak into 1/2 inch-thick slices.

Makes 6 servings.

To go along with this dish I also made a Spinach Saute. most of my brothers and sisters did not like this (meaning they didn't try it) simply because it had the word spinach in it. I don't know about others but I really like spinach when it is cooked right. Any-who,

INGREDIENTS:
2 tbl. olive oil
1 small onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
10 oz. fresh spinach rinsed and dried
shredded parmesan cheese.

1. heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. add onion and soutane until it starts to soften.
3. add garlic and spinach. saute just until spinach is wilted.
4. top with shredded parmesan and serve immediately.
Makes 4-6 servings.



till next time,
Hannah

  2. That looks and sounds scrumptious Hannah! You know something, our family has meat as the main corse practically every night. It's the natural American way. Jillian was just saying how she has never eaten so much meat as she does now with our family because her parents had mostly meatless meals when she was growing up. But I was trying to think of dinners that would work without meat. Aside from pasta, I couldn't think of any. And meat is so good anyways. Do you prefer chicken or beef?

I don't moderate comments so if you are going to write something, just please don't embarrass yourself. I assure you that I am doing more than enough of that to cover for the both of us.

Also, try not to be a dick.

Thanks
