Dinner Complete: Mom's Birthday

My other true passion in this life is cooking. I always say Detailing is therapy for my mind, and being in the kitchen/on the grill is therapy for my soul. I cooked this recipe for my mother last year for her birthday, and this year, she asked me again, instead of going out to eat, to prepare the dinner for the family. I picked up most of the recipe off a Food Network show that Paula Deen and her son were hosting. From there, I made it my own a little bit, and over time, I came up with this!

 

Garlic and Spice Rubbed NY Strip with Red and Yellow Peppers, Caramelized Sweet Onions, Fennel, and Garlic-Wine Mushrooms

Served with Baked Sweet Potato and Salad

 

Ingredients:

IMG_3191_zps2f9d3cd2.jpg

  • NY Strip (either bone in or bone out...this is my choice cut of meat)
  • Red Bell Pepper
  • Orange Bell Pepper
  • Yellow Bell Pepper
  • Fennel
  • Sweet Yellow Onion
  • Sliced Mushrooms (pre-sliced from the store)
  • Garlic
  • Fresh Basil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Ground Mustard
  • Garlic
  • Chili Powder
  • Oregano
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Butter for Grilling

(I don't care to talk about the salad or sweet potato)

 

 

Procedure:

I started by getting out two baking pans, laying down a little Worcestershire Sauce, and placing the Cow in the pans.

Letting the Cow sit in the bath on that one side for about five minutes, I flipped them over and let that side bathe as well.

Taking a fork, I gently ran it down the cow to create little channels to assist in my rubbing and whatnot. From that point, I then took chopped garlic and rubbed each side of the Cow with it.

Next step is to "rub" the Cow.

I then took the Fennel, Bell Peppers, Onion, and Mushrooms, washed and sliced them up.

I needed a beer. This stuff Doesn't Suck.

I headed outside, started to get the grill going, then headed back in, and got the veggies on the stove.

Once the grill was loose, I placed the steaks on, and a little pat of butter on top of each one.

Grilled to perfection.

Top the Cow with Veggies.

Tie it all in with a nice glass of Pinot Noir.

Now I am hungry again.

Dove Poppers:

15 Doves, breasts removed and halved (single person daily limit here)

15 jalapenos, sliced in half and seeds/core removed

pineapple cream cheese (this is key!)

30 thin slices of center cut bacon

your favorite honey BBQ sauce

 

 

fill jalapeno halves with cream cheese, place dove breast on top, wrap in bacon and secure everything with a toothpick. grill on medium to medium-high indirect heat (400-450F) for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy, basting with BBQ sauce a couple times. watch out for flare ups.

 

i didn't get a chance to snap a pic of this one, they were all eaten less than a minute after taking off the grille! i've got more meat in the frezer so next time i make them, i'll post a pic

PESTO KIELBASA

 

This recipe is fairly easy and it allows me to use some detailed cooking methods.

 

I used a Turkey Polska Kielbasa, but will vary it by using any prepared dinner sausage.

20150224_154741.jpg

 

Two boxes Long Grain & Wild Rice.

20150224_154800.jpg

 

Pesto sauce and Parmesan Cheese.

20150224_160347.jpg

 

One Zucchini Squash and two small Yellow Squash.

20150224_154747.jpg

 

This is where the detailed part comes in.  Cut the vegetables in even thicknesses, about 1/4-inch, so that they will cook evenly.  If some are much thinner, they will get overdone and mushy.  Do the same with the sausage, but you can go a little thinner, like 3/16-inch, so there are more pieces.

20150224_160340.jpg

 

Cook the rice according to package instructions (this brand takes 25 minutes).

 

Over medium-high heat, with some olive oil, cook the sausage.  Since it is already fully-cooked in the package, it just needs to be heated and browned a bit.

20150224_165526.jpg

 

Then put it in a serving dish (one with a lid), and add a few scoops of Pesto Sauce.

20150224_165832.jpg

 

Stir well to distribute the pesto.

20150224_170026.jpg

 

On medium-high heat, brown the veggies in one even layer.  Just brown them on the surface but don't cook them all the way through, or they will be mushy.  You want them to still have some crispness when eaten, nobody likes mushy squash.

20150224_170031.jpg

 

I use two forks to turn them, as it is easier that trying to use a spatula.

20150224_170603.jpg

 

With a medium-sized pan, I end up with three batches of veggies, since I cook them in one layer.  This may not be efficient, but the rice cooks slow so there is enough time.

20150224_171143.jpg

 

After each batch of veggies is done, I add it to the serving dish.

20150224_170850.jpg

 

Cover the dish to keep them warm.

20150224_170857.jpg

 

Once they are all cooked...

20150224_171334.jpg

 

Give it gentle toss, so the veggies don't get mangled.

20150224_171446.jpg

 

Serve on a plate, garnish with Parmesan Cheese.

20150224_172253.jpg

 

You can also serve it over the rice in a bowl.
