We didn't have much around the house the other day so I decided to make a pizza using part of a roast I had left from the night before. I sliced it in thin strips I used a can of original sloppy joe and ready made pizza dough. I brushed the dough with olive oil and sprinkled with garlic powder and basil. I had slices of white american so I ripped into pieces and scattered around the dough. I baked it in the oven at 450 degrees for about 5-7 minutes just to to slightly cook the dough. Take it out and add sloppy joe sauce. I topped mine with diced red onion, roast and on half of it spinach and mushroom. I finished it off with some shredded Pinconning cheese. Bake at 450 until cheese becomes golden brown.
Need: Flank Steak Onion Powder Smokey Mesquite rub Sea Salt Pepper Cooking Sherry Olive Oil I seasoned up my steak with a light coating of onion powder, smokey mesquite rub, salt, and pepper. I let it sit for about 15 minutes after it is all seasoned. I preheat my cast iron skillet and added about 2 tbs. of olive oil and about 2 tbs. cooking sherry. When the pan is heated and ready I added in my steak I cooked it about 20-25 minutes. About 10-12 minutes per side until most liquid in pan is gone and the meat has started to become a dark brown. For this I used a cube steak and cooked it up just like you normally would. I seasoned up the meat with onion and garlic powder and some Applewood rub. I then scrambled up a couple eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper. I made my flour mix with the same seasonings that I used to season the meat. I dipped the steaks first into the egg and then into the flour mix and then repeat. When its gone through the 2 coats of batter, add it to a pan with a thin layer of hot oil. Fry then up til they are golden brown on both sides. Set them on a plate with paper towel to absorb the extra grease. Let them sit for a few while you make the gravy. I try to always have bacon grease around to add into my gravies. Turn your heat to low, depending on how much grease you have add some cornstarch and mix it all in. When it starts to thicken slowly add milk until it is a good consistency. Gravy is all on preference, some like a thicker gravy while some prefer the thinner one. If you need to season with a lil salt and pepper to taste. When the gravy is ready cut up some onion ( I used red onion because it is my favorite onion.) Butter one side of 2 pieces of bread and layer your sandwich ( I used my George Foreman Grill, but you can use a clean pan.)
You can't go wrong with chicken. I used chicken legs and seasoned them up with some Onion and Garlic powder and with Rotisserie Chicken seasoning. I added a thin layer of water in the pan and cooked them on about medium, covered until they we're cooked through. (Cooking them with the water helps them to stay moist during cooking.) When they were cooked I heated the George Foreman grill up and put them on 2 at a time just to crisp them up a bit. While the chicken was cooking I used a small pan and added a sweet honey bbq with a hickory bbq and some chopped onion and basil and heated it through. When the chicken is all done I took the bbq and poured it over the plate of chicken. I saved a little bit of the bbq to add to my spaghetti noodles I made up. I used a roast for this. I cut it up into chunks and cooked to about medium rare. I sliced it into thin pieces. I used an Italian loaf and sliced it into about 1.5 inch pieces. I buttered the outsides of the bread and layered the steak, slices of cheddar cheese, sauteed green pepper and onion, and spinach. I used our George Foreman Grill to cook them up. About 4 minutes and they were ready |
