Well I'm sitting here watching Real Housewives--- craving cookies...... I have decided to just type about them instead of eat them tonight.
I love onions-- grilled, saute', broiled, baked, or grilled-- I love them all. This steak is covered in them and the steak is juicy and delicious. The sweet treat is really tasty and not horrible for you -- 1 coookie = 94 calories and 3.2 grams of fat. The steak I have no idea but it is really freaking good anyway!!!!! If you are reading this blog for Healthy Living you have come to the wrong place sweetie---- I am trying to change my evil ways, but cheesecake is good---- just don't eat the whole damn thing. I try to throw in healthier suggestions if the recipe is not good for you-- the rest is up to you. I love to cook and I love to eat really great tasting food--- moderation and self control is the new mantra. Think ahead and plan for the bad food--- or make up for the bad food if you fall off the right track.
Marinated Steak with Caramelized Onions
1/4 cup Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
3 Tbsp Country Bob's Steak sauce (or Bold and spicy A1 is good too)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp minced garlic ( I use the jarred kind--fresh would be great too-- 2 cloves minced)
1 Boneless beef sirloin steak (1 lb)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
Mix dressing, 2 Tbsp steak sauce sugar and garlic until well blended. Pour over steak in shallow dish; turn steak to coat both sides. Refridgerate 1 hour to marinate (better taste the longer it sits).
Heat oil in large non-stick skillet on medium high heat. Add onions; cook and stir 5 min. Cover; cook on medium-low heat 15 min. or until onions are golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, heat broiler. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on rack of broiler pan. Broil, 4 inches from heat, 8 min. on each side or until done (160 degrees) Remove from heat; cover. Let stand 5 min before cutting across the grain into thin slices. Stir remaining steak sauce into onions. Serve with meat.
This is great on top of a salad, or with a side dish of baked potato, or sweet potato--- excellent with asparagus.
Cherry-Chocolate Smart Cookies
1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 Tbsp unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup dried cherries
1 tsp vanilla
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 oz dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
cooking spray
*Preheat oven to 350degrees
*Weigh or lightly spool flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours and next 3 ingredients (before the salt) in a large bowl. Stir with a whisk.
* Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; add brown sugar, stirring until smooth. Add sugar mixture to flour mixture; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add cherries, vanilla, and egg; beat until combined. Fold in choclate. Drop dough by Tbsp onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Cool on pans 3 minutes or until almost firm. Remove cookies from pans; cool on wire racks.
This should make 30 cookies-- serving size 1 cookie.
Of course you could use bittersweet, or milk chocolate--- could also change to apricots, or other dried fruits---- as always--- make it how you like it..... you are the one that is eating it.
Have a geat night
Carla
