  • Looks good, but those taters would have to cook alone for a while.  Those steak in a hot oven for15- 20 minutes after sear would be more like shoe leather for me.  Might have to do that in reverse...just have to use 2 pans. Or I guess you could remove the steaks and cover, and let sit out for 20-30 minutes while the taters finish up.  To me it's hard to over cook a potato.  Hash browns are cooked up pretty good.  Steak, you can ruin it in the span of a minute or two.  If it doesn't have a pink center, throw it to the dogs unless you are eating it as a Fajita.    Then it doesn't matter all that much I suppose since you are putting all sorts of stuff on the meat.   If it's going to be a miss, make the miss on the rare side.  You can fix that.

    I occasionally tweak recipes but I left the one as is. I even checked several several garlic steak with potatoes recipes with this one some cook with cut up steaks some the whole steak.... which is why I put in the two serving suggestion pictures.  

    This is what I would call a "lesser cuts of meat" with potatoes recipe.  I noticed that they didn't even call for tenderizing the steak as an option.  This is pretty much as shown a meat & potatoes one skillet meal especially if you like your potatoes seasoned and with a steak taste.

    I'm normally a steak purist guy, salt and pepper maybe even a dollop of butter when the steak is done cooking.  I like my steaks nicely marbleized, medium with a warm pink center and like you said you can go from rare to medium or well in a flash if you're not careful.

      I also like my steak hot off the grill -but- there's nothing wrong with indoor pan or grill cooking especially with some practice another good option to cook side by side and then combine for this dish but it would be making it a slightly different recipe.

    We have done different meat and potatoes one pan meals but I kind of liked this combination of ingredients.  Still looks good !   😉

  • The sliced steak looks like maybe flank.  The whole, maybe a rib?

    I like my steak more towards a cool center.  I try to pull mine around 125 degrees, cover and let rest 15 minutes....it works up to 135 or so.  Resting allows the juices to resettle.  You don't end up with a plate full of bloody juice.  I also usually buy my steaks 4-5 days ahead and let age in the refrigerator.  It drys them out some, which is good IMO.

  • Besides our Weber grilling cookbooks and others my favorite go to site is the beef it's what's for dinner site, loaded with information.  https://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com

    Oh my grandmother worked about 10 years in the meat department at sparkle market, taught me a lot about meat and cooking good food !

  • Speaking of pizza and related matters this Pizza Hut cutback has been in the works for a while now.  Some closed dine in restaurants here and other companies may be replaced with smaller carry out restaurants with no tables or waitresses, the new way of doing business.

    Pizza Hut to close up to 300 locations operated by bankrupt franchisee

    PUBLISHED MON, AUG 17 202011:54 AM EDT
     
     
    KEY POINTS
    • Pizza Hut will close up to 300 locations as part of a deal between the pizza chain and its largest U.S. franchisee, NPC International.
    • NPC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early July. 
    • The closing Pizza Huts underperform the rest of the chain’s locations, and the majority are expected to be dine-in locations.

    Pizza Hut will close up to 300 locations as part of a deal between the Yum Brands chain and its largest U.S. franchisee, NPC International.

    NPC will also put its remaining 927 Pizza Hut locations up for sale. The franchisee, which also operates nearly 400 Wendy’s restaurants, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in early July after struggling with its debt burden of roughly $1 billion.

    “In the event NPC executes a sale of its Pizza Hut business, Pizza Hut’s focus would be to ensure that new ownership brings to NPC’s Pizza Hut restaurants a strong capital structure, healthy balance sheet, commitment to operational excellence, and a growth mindset,” a Pizza Hut spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC.

    NPC’s 1,227 Pizza Hut locations account for a fifth of the chain’s total U.S. footprint.

    The closing Pizza Huts underperform the rest of the chain’s locations, and the majority are expected to be dine-in locations. In recent years, the pizza chain has shied away from its reputation as a dine-in restaurant and sought to draw more attention to its delivery and takeout, a change that has been accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic. Pizza Hut reported its highest average sales week for delivery and carryout in the past eight years during the month of May.

    Employees at shuttered Pizza Hut restaurants operated by NPC will be moved to better-performing locations, if possible, according to Pizza Hut’s statement. NPC has not made final determinations as to which locations will close or the timing of the closures.

  • To be honest with you....it has been forever and ever since I went to Pizza Hut, and there is one just about a mile from me.  I always get my Pizza elsewhere.   

    Our  go to sit down  place for Pizza  is Angie's in Barberton.    We also do Luigi's downtown Akron when we can .   For carryout, we usually do Antonio's.

    What are your  "Go To"  pizza places   for sit down and for carry out.?

    A lot of people think just like you do here.  The PH just down the road from us closed in Boardman the nearest ones are now in Poland or Canfield.

    Our favorite is Wedgewood Pizza in Boardman (no delivery) or Cocca's for delivery but there are a few other good ma and pa ones.

    Our never list Pizza Yuck, Papa John's among others.

    Gip,

    Angie's was a fave sit down place back in the '60s when living in Wadsworth, but it has changed. Still good though.

    Sit down: Luigi's has been & still is our fave sit down place even though we now live in North Canton.

    Carryout: Double cheese, double pepperoni, well done at Pizza Oven in Canton & Pepperoni Magnifico @ Marco's in North Canton (great pizza & an UNBELIEVABLE veteran's discount). I refused that discount during this pandemic until their business picked back up.

    Nice looking St. Louis cut ribs.  You do those on a smoker or roast in the oven?  No insult if you are a grill guy.  I like them either way.  Either method works and each have their advantages.

    Thank you.  Smoker all the way! Sometimes I'll finish in the oven after I wrap.  But always after 2-3 hrs of smoking.  Weber smokey mountain water smoker.  Usually apple wood,  cherry and pecan are in my rotation as well.

  • Outback Steakhouse Alice Springs Chicken

    One of the most popular menu items at Outback Steakhouse (despite the fact that it’s a STEAKhouse) is their Alice Springs Chicken. It’s popular for good reason. Who can resist grilled chicken with sautéed mushrooms, crispy bacon, and lots of melty Monterey Jack cheese with that honey mustard sauce? If I go to Outback, it’s always for the Alice Springs Chicken which is why I decided I’d share my copycat version of the recipe with you.

    One of the *KEY elements to this Alice Springs Chicken is the honey mustard marinade/sauce it's YOUR CHOICE !  You’ll start by making that, then allowing the chicken to hang out in the mixture from 30 minutes to a couple of hours so that it can absorb all of the honey mustard goodness.

    One of my favorite ingredients in this recipe is the mushrooms! I am always a sucker for tender sautéed mushrooms! I bought an 8 ounce package of button mushrooms, cleaned them, then sliced them up and sautéed ‘em in a little butter. The best way to clean mushrooms is with a damp towel (I usually use a damp paper) instead of running them under water. I do it this way, simply because they clean-up better if you wipe the dirt off versus running them under water.

    You’ll also need some crispy bacon to top each piece of chicken with. My favorite hassle-proof way to cook bacon is to bake it in the oven. Here are my instructions on How to Bake Bacon. I chose to go with one piece of bacon per piece of chicken to keep it a little lighter, but if you want to go all out, plan for up to two pieces of bacon per piece of chicken.

    Recipe with your choice of honey mustard marinade/sauce mixtures:
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
    Lowry’s Seasoning Salt
    4 or 6 or 8 bacon slices... depending on how much bacon you want per chicken brest
    1/4 cup regular mustard... *( OR about 3/4 cup of  your favorite brand of honey mustard WITH mayo and 2 tsp dried onion flakes it's YOUR CHOICE)
    1/3 cup honey... *use WITH your favorite honey mustard + mayo + dried onion flakes mixture, your choice
    2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise... *use WITH your favorite honey mustard + dried onion flakes, your choice
    2 teaspoons dried onion flakes...*use WITH your favorite honey mustard + mayo, your choice
    1 cup sliced fresh mushroom 
    2 cup shredded Colby/Jack cheese

    Directions:
    First, Sprinkle and rub the chicken breasts with seasoning salt. Cover and refrigerate from 30 minutes to several hours.
    While the chicken is in the refrigerator, cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside. ***DO NOT discard grease.***

    Saute chicken in the bacon grease for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until browned. Place chicken in a 9″ × 13″ casserole dish or pan.
    To make the Honey Mustard: In a small bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise and dried onion flakes -OR- your favorite honey mustard sauce plus mayo and flaked dried onion flakes... it's YOUR CHOICE.

    Spread some of the Honey Mustard over each piece of chicken, then layer with mushrooms, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.

    Bake in a 350° oven for 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and chicken is done.
    Serve with the left over Honey Mustard Sauce that you made.... THAT'S IT !

  • Here's a thought. Brown some extra lean (96%) hamburger meat and throw it in a pan with Cookwell & Company Green Chili Stew (or any brand you like better). Heat to desired level, pour it in a bowl and use a spoon. Yummy! For a change you could use cooked chopped up chicken breast meat as a substitute for the hamburger. Either way it tastes fine.?

  • I like to make mini pizza on English muffin halves. 

    Coat each muffin with your favorite store bought pasta sauce, add cheese, then do what you want, you get the idea.

    Bake.

    Easy pizza.

    French, Italian, English muffin, whatever anything that gets good and crunchy and still has some body is nice -plus- they have all kinds of spaghetti, pizza, marinara sauces on the shelf now unless we are having a big pasta meal with the meatballs we don't bother making sauce that often.  And everyone has Italian or other cheese and meats packaged up and really to go by the deli department..... especially now.

    We still do our Wedgewood Pizza stop especially if my wife is going out to shop but good and tasty pizza or other quick meals are so easy now.....and more economical and hot out of the oven.  We rarely get takeout now....but being retired helps !      😉
