Dr Pepper Steak

This is not normally a recipe I would try because of the less than tender cut it meat it utilizes. However, my husband began telling me that back in the day, sodas were used to tenderize meants and make them more edible, I had to try.

4-8oz. Top Sirlion Steaks
2-12oz cans of Dr Pepper
3 tspn minced garlic

In a bowl, mix the Dr Pepper, garlic, salt and pepper. Spear the steaks several times to give the marinade ample points of entry. Drop the steaks in the marinade and cover for 75 minutes, excluding as much of the air as possible.

After 75 minutes, remove the steaks from the marinade and dry them well. Once all the steaks are dried, sprinkle Mrs. Dash Original to season. In a hot fry pan, on the stove, add butter and oil. Place meat seasoned side down in a hot pan! Continue until all the steaks are cooking. Once a nice browning has been established, turn the meat over. Place in a 425* oven for about 7 minutes.

once the desired temperature is reached, remove from the oven and serve. Enjoy!

** The cooking of these steaks can also be done on the grill**

Hamburg, rice, and corn casserole

This is the easiest recipe to make and comes out so delicious. The best thing is the ingredients could be modified in any number of ways and it would still be great!

I use:
1.5 lbs 80/20 burger
1 can corn
1.5 cups cooked rice
1 med onion (diced)

I cook a cup and a half of rice, according to the directions on the package. In another pan, I saute 1 diced, medium onion. Once the onion has browned I add the 1.5 lbs of burger and scramble it. Once the burger is thoroughly cooked, I add the corn to the mixture.

Once my rice is done cooking, I add it to the burger and corn. I mix everything together and add salt and pepper to taste.

As I said previously, this recipe could be modified in an infinite number of ways and still be delicious. This is just the way I grew up eating it and I enjoy it today. Enjoy!
