Bourbon Ranch Calabrese Steak

Bourbon Ranch Calabrese Steak Recipe with mixed veggies.

People wanted an update on the eye of round experience. Couple things to note; this is my 4th time cooking with an iron skillet, my first time cooking eye of round, my first time cooking beef inside and not out on a grill and I can read a recipe but god only knows if I am gonna follow it.

I have been hitting so many 5 stars out of the kitchen now that anything less is, well, a bummer for this competitive gal. I think we have to give this a 4. Not for my effort,of course, but just for ingredients. Had I done this with a fillet…. Shut the door!

The trick is to marinate and not over cook. I probably should have pulled it three min. sooner. The middle was good but the outsides were just ok. All in all pretty flavorful and John was full and that usually never happens!  

P.s for those not in the know, like I was, eye of round is a very tough cut of meat.

 

I do hate being told what to do and so…. maybe that’s my deal with recipes. I got this off line from the Paula Dean lady but some how translated Italian dressing dry packet mix, into ranch. That’s weird because I don’t really care for ranch. Anyway. I also added the Calabrese because…. I’m just trying to use it up and hey, it makes things yummy.

Roasted Beet Recipe

Jonah J. Jenkins Roasted Beet Recipe to the rescue! I’ve been reading about beets lately and it seems I should table my dislike and figure out how to like them.  As I suspected, garden beets taste DRASTICALLY different than you can crap you buy at the grocery store. I hit my peeps up on fb for their fave recipe. Mr. Jonah J. Jenkins for the grand slam!!! It sure is great to have friends that cook and can inspire you!!

Jonah J. Jenkins came through with the grand slam with this easy 2 step roasted beet recipe  :

  • Do not peel them. Wash the beets and chop off the stem/greens. You can use those later for smoothies, or sautéed with olive oil and garlic!
  • Rub each beet with olive oil
  • Bake them whole in the oven (350-375) for about an hour

Using a fork, when you are able to push into the beets, with little resistance, they are done. Let the beets cool, slice them into bite sized chunks and put them into a Tupperware container, to enjoy when you are ready.  You can also freeze them for a later time. 

**** I did try freezing them.  I thawed my Jonah beets, tossed them with walnuts, balsamic vinaigrette and added some chevre! Oh my gosh, so tasty and that led to my Beet Tower recipe!  Check out my blog;  BA’s BEET TOWERS
