Home Made Korean BBQ

Korean BBQ is so easy to make and fun way to enjoy your food. For the marinates I made a chicken basil, skirt steak and mini burgers. For the chicken basil marinate I processed basil, olive oil, garlic. For the skirt steak I processed some garlic, favorite bbq sauce of your choice, olive oil, honey, cayenne pepper. For the mini burgers I processed the actual ground beef with some cumin, paprika, tumeric, some olive oil, salt and pepper.

Next step you can either use an actual bbq, but instead I used a mini electric grill indoors on my stove with the vent on so it does not get smokey in your home. Make sure to flip the meats over so they don't burn.

Asian Noodle Stir Fry

For the stir fry sauce I mixed the following ingredients together, chopped up garlic, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt, pepper, chili flakes. First place a few spoons of the sauce with the already cut pieces of skirt steak into a bowl to sit and marinate for about 20 minutes before cooking begins. Next you want to cook the vegetables, I used carrots, mushrooms, snow peas, broccoli, beginning with sautéing the onions and then adding the rest of the vegetables one by one depending on which ones take the longest to cook. Once all the vegetables are cooked, next on a frying pan cook all the meat making sure to add in more sauce when needed. Once everything is cooked add the vegetables and meat together.

For the noodles I used flat glass noodles and boiled them until cooked, placed them into a bowl, then added in the stir fry and mixed everything together.

Delicious Peppercorn Steak Dinner

I chose to complete this meal with a side of sauteed spinach and some mash potatoes, but you can add any side of your choice. I used a piece of rib eye steak, I first seared the meat on the stove on high heat. Make sure to flip over so both sides get nice and seared. Turn the oven on 375 and place the steaks in the oven after searing so the rest of your meat gets cooked.

For the Peppercorn sauce I first reduced a few cups of red wine in a saucepan, lots of crushed peppercorns, chopped up garlic, spoonful of margarine, a rue (I made by mixing some flour and cold water) few cups of beef broth. Once all reduced into a sauce smother the steak in the sauce before placing in the oven as well as serving the dish with a side sauce.

Tortilla Cups

This would be a great appetizer for a dinner party. To start with you will need a cupcake baking tray. Cut your tortillas in half and carefully place them into the cups making sure to fold them in a manner that all of the ingredients do not spill out. Next I make a red rice which goes great with this dish or you can use any rice of your choice. To make the red rice I used a rice cooker, once ready I add in a few spoons of tomato sauce, pepper, salt and oil. In order for the rice to really get red and have flavor leave the rice in the cooker after adding the ingredients.

Using the cooked beans of your choice that have been cleaned and drained place spoonful of beans I chose to use black beans, red rice, a layer of cheeses you choose to use, I used some cheddar cheese and mozzarella. Place in oven at 375 for about 20 minutes. Once ready take tray out and top off with some home made salsa. To make the salsa dice up onions, tomatoes, cilantro and for some heat jalapeno, lime juice, salt and pepper.
