Food and Recipe's

I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but a seafood casserole can make for a tasty meal, and you can modify it with ease once you figure out your preferred seasoning combination...


Tonight's version:

Olive oil (to lightly coat the sides and bottom of the glass loaf pan)
Monkfish (cut into fairly small pieces)
Onion (sliced thin, lengthwise)
Pepper (sliced thin, lengthwise)
Zucchini (sliced thin into coins)
Mushrooms (sliced thin)
Butter (cut into either tablespoons or small cubes)
Seasoning (granulated garlic, Cajun seasoning, Homemade seasoning blend)
Panko breadcrumbs (either buy the kind with cheese in it, or finely grate fresh parmesan into it)
 
I was at the store staring at the steak prices last weekend.. not wanting to spend $18 on a single meal, and wanting to do some meal prep for the week... I decided to get a London broil steak. It was something like $8/lb. I bought a big one probably around $20 for 2.5-ish pounds. With this being a tougher cut, I decided to marinate it and use it for homemade mexican style meals.

Here's what I did. I cut lengthwise into three big strips. Salted them thoroughly, let them sit in the fridge for a couple hours. Then I did the marinade which was. Olive oil, horseraddish vodka, apple cider vinegar, lime, pepper, chili powder, red pepper, cumin, garlic, onion powder, hot paprika.

I let it marinade for a few hours. Then I smoked them my kettle grill with cherry wood until med-rare/med, then seared them off. They came out a bit overdone but that was fine for how I planned to use them.

So I also made scratch made tortilla's, salsa, pico, and quac. And I had one can of black beans and sour cream, lettuce, cheese as fixin's.

Sunday - Made a burrito
Monday - Made another burrito, but different
Tuesday- Quesadiller
Wednesday - More different quesadiller
Thursday - Fajita's

I also had enough for a small lunch on two day's for work. One leftover corner of quesadilla, and today a taco.
