THE RECIPE FILE

FLAT IRON STEAK With Basalmic Vinegar Glaze


This cut of steak is from the shoulder of a beef animal. The steak encompasses the infraspinatus muscles of beef, and one may see this displayed in some butcher shops and meat markets as a "top blade" roast. Steaks that are cross cut from this muscle are called top blade steaks.  

Barbecued Balogna-Memphis Style


In 1993, Sandi and I traveled to Memphis to partake the Memphis In May World Championship BBQ Contest. One of the most unusual barbecue items we ate while there was a Barbecued Balogna sandwich at Jim Neely's Interstate BBQ Restaurant. Here's how to do it in your own backyard.

Spicy Apple Cider Rib or Chicken Mop


Use this on either ribs or chicken. Flavorful with a little kick to it.

Ingredients: 2 cups apple cider, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tbl. white vinegar,
2 tbl. tomato paste, 1 tbl jalapeno pepper-chopped and seeded,                             1 tbl.brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. black
pepper.Optional: use honey instead of brown sugar.

 

Preparation: In a saucepan, add cider, onions and jalapeno. Over
medium-high heat, bring to a boil and reduce by half. Add remaining
ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool
down. May be used immediately or after completely cooling down.

Buttermilk Chicken


Buttermilk gives this grilled chicken a lively twist! It's a milky brine that brings juiciness and flavor to the chicken. You can also adapt it for a whole chicken or breasts if you like.
