Autumn has been in full swing and winter is just around the corner. Although my crockpot season has started our temps have been gorgeous so our grilling season hasn’t quite ended yet. Before I relent and stash the grill for the winter, I wanted to grill dinner one more time…

Whether using this on beef, poultry of vegetables, this grilling rub is fantastic all year-long.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. smoked paprika, 2 Tbsp. dried parsley, 1 Tbsp. dried oregano, 4 tsp. hot chili powder, 2 tsp. ground coriander, 1 tsp. cumin, 2 tsp. fresh ground pink Himalayan salt, 1 tsp. fresh cracked tricolor black pepper, 1/2 tsp. ground mustard

Directions: Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight jar.

To Use:  Rub onto meat or vegetables with a small amount of olive oil. Allow meat to come to room temperature before grilling.

Usually our grill makes a reappearance in late February when I want to chase away the winter…

Monday… does anyone really love Monday? I don’t and especially after DST Spring ahead… Tonight, I needed to whip Hubster up something hearty, simple and easy. Once again, something I could just prep and forget… This is personally my busiest month at work.

Hubster's Beef Stew

Hubster's Beef Stew

 

Ingredients:
cubed steak, 2 shallots, 2 Tbsp. butter, 4 cubed potatoes, 5 sliced carrots, 1 bunch celery (chopped), 2 bay leaves, 1 tsp. celery seed, 1 tsp. mustard seed, 2 c. white wine, water, fresh cracked black pepper, fresh ground sea salt.

Directions:
Melt butter in stock pot, add shallots and meat and brown. Add wine, bay leaves, celery seed and mustard seed, bring to a boil. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, salt pepper and cover with water. Place lid on pot and simmer for a few hours. Discard bay leaves. Serve hot.

Hubster doesn’t like gravy in his stew, but you can take the broth and thicken it with cornstarch or flour.

Tonight, my meat & potatoes man had his meat & potatoes and ate it too…
Serve over alone, over rice, with biscuits or bread. Hubster had his stew with a big chunk of Irish Soda Bread. I used a semi-sweet whit table wine for this recipe.

What are Mondays like for you?

Since I’m pesco-pollo vegetarian, Hubster was overdue for some red meat (of course when we go out to eat, he usually orders chicken). Other than the venison I refuse to cook make him prepare himself, It’s been a few months since he’s had red meat for dinner. So I made this quick and easy steak dinner for him.

Hubster's Steak & Pepper Strips

Hubster's Steak & Pepper Strips

 

Ingredients:
thin cut steak, 1 yellow pepper, 1 orange pepper, 1 green pepper, 1 red pepper, 1 shallot, white wine, extra virgin olive oil, fresh cracked black pepper, fresh ground sea salt

Directions:
Rub both sides of steak with olive oil and season with salt & pepper, let set at room temperature for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cut steak in long thin strips. Slice peppers and shallots and toss in with steak. Transfer to baking tray and drizzle with white wine. Bake until strips are done to your liking. Hubster’s took about 10  minutes.

Hubster thought the baked pear and butternut squash I made last night was the perfect accompaniment to this steak. That’s the first time he’s actually complimented the pairing of side dishes with the main course. Could it be that he’s learning about food?..

What is something you prepare for your sweetie, that you don’t consume?
