Dijon Marinated Sirloin

Saturday night steak night! With all guys in the house (except me!) steak is on the menu more often than it should be…This sirloin was scored in a crisscross fashion then allowed to marinate for at least 30 minutes…the scoring allows the marinade to fully penetrate the entire sirloin. After a quick grilling the beef is tender and flavorful…Enjoy!   Continue reading

Garlic-Herb Delmonico Steaks & Caramelized Pear Salad

Date Night! Instead of going out, put the kiddos to bed (mine are all gone for the evening!), and heat up the grill for a special ‘Night In’!! I bought these Delmonico steaks at the Amish Market and seasoned them with the perfect blend of seasonings. Raf fired up the grill and had them ready in no time. Meanwhile I prepared a delicious caramelized pear & pecan salad with feta and mixed salad greens. Simple but very very flavorful. ENJOY!!    Continue reading

Osso Buco

Osso Buco

Sunday Dinner…my favorite time of the week. This is the day when we all sit down together and enjoy a delicious meal. Sometimes it’s elaborate and sometimes it’s simple; but I love the process…a glass of red wine in hand, the chopping, stirring, roasting, baking…the mouthwatering aromas of whatever is cooking on the stove or in the oven…the kids and hubby popping their heads into the kitchen asking “when is it going to be done??” I love Sundays…

Sunday Dinner today was Osso Buco…tender veal shanks braised in a tasty broth until tender and almost falling apart…served atop creamy mashed potatoes…I special ordered the veal shanks on Wednesday from my local butcher and picked them up this morning…They are well worth the wait! Hope you enjoy this meal as much as we did! Continue reading
