Steak Sandwiches with Gorgonzola Sauce

We made a 4 1/2 pound New York Strip Roast for Christmas. In addition to a 5 pound turkey breast. And double baked potatoes. And a green bean casserole. Oh, did I mention the bacon wrapped shrimp, the bacon wrapped water chestnuts?

Yes. There was a LOT of food for 10 people. We had leftovers. Sort of intentionally ... because I really wanted to make these sandwiches!!

I had these mini hot dog buns leftover STILL from the boat parade so I figured I could make this a substantial Friday night, day after a big holiday dinner ... yup, it worked out great with the recreating leftovers! Sweet!!



The only 'real' recipe here is the gorgonzola sauce ... you can use blue cheese if you prefer but I picked up a little 7 ounce container of this stuff earlier this week with these sandwiches in mind ...



Here's what you need:

Leftover cooked beef, sliced thin
beef broth (enough to cover the sliced beef in a small pot)
A-1 Bold and Spicy Steak Sauce.  A few good, generous shakes of this stuff is a game changer
small buns, dinner rolls, sliced in half, place on baking sheet and drizzled with olive oil

AND  .... for the sauce:

3 shallots, finely chopped
olive oil to coat bottom of small pan
1 cup white wine
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 tsp steak seasoning (I used Montreal Steak Seasoning)
1 cup of gorganzola cheese crumbles
handful of parsley, finely chopped



Ready?

Bring beef to a gentle simmer in pot covered with the beef broth and A-1 Sauce.

Heat olive oil in small skillet and saute the shallots for about 3 minutes, stirring.

Add wine and reduce by half. Look at the bottle and think, hmmm...this is the good stuff and pour yourself a generous glass.



Turn heat down to low, and slowly stir in cream. Allow to simmer 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often.  Add steak seasoning and stir well.

Turn off heat, add cheese and stir well. Take OFF heat and stir.  Add parsley and stir some more (the cheese should be melted by now)

Broil the buns under the broiler until golden brown to your preferred browness (Hubby and I are total opposites, he likes his charred, I like mine just golden).

Divide the beef among the rolls.  Top with a little bit of the sauce (it will NOT be thick) and serve up. I had some leftover sauteed peppers and onions that I topped my sandwich too ... Hubby used some of the broth from the beef pot to dip his sandwich in to.

And there you have it ... leftovers for the most part with a pretty cool sauce to take it over the top!  Enjoy!

Non Toxic Mosquito Spray

Image
Let's face it, living in Paradise does have a few drawbacks with the #1 complaint being ... BUGS. Yeah, bugs.  Mostly mosquitoes that can just ruin an evening of relaxation on the patio ... those pesky little guys can really do a number on you quickly!  Heaven forbid if you are one of those who are very sensitive to the bites (the Boy), you will have welts in no time. So Hubby always decides to spray AFTER everyone starts swatting the air and scratching. We have to gather up our drinks and appetizers, go indoors and wait for 20 minutes or so for the toxic fog to flat away ... only to be swatting and scratching AGAIN in 30 minutes. After seeing THIS tip a few too many times, I figured, what the heck, $5 at Walmart is worth it to try, right? Guess what?  It seems to work!!!  I need to do a few more nights to say for certain but I say it's WAY better than that can of toxic stuff ... and cheaper to boot! You must use the ORIGINAL flavor, and yes, it nee

Smelly Shoe Fix!

Image
Honestly, we have real good hygiene habits in my house, I can assure you of that! But, lets face it, living in paradise with 125% humidity can be a little trying sometimes ... my running shoes (which have NOT seen much running action for quite a while) get a little ripe smelling ... and oh man, you should smell the shoes that Hubby wears outside in the yard, patio, garage and boat that constantly get wet ... enough to suck the oxygen right out of your body ... whew! Then you have the Boy ... who works out pretty darn hard and doesn't always wear socks, nor does the Princess ... I mean, seriously, I've had to throw shoes away because you could smell them just sitting there. No one wants to be the person that people are wrinkling their nose at when they are walking by you! So when I saw the featured post for the Smelly Shoe Solution (and dang, I'm still trying to find the original post because I had no need to bookmark it, such a simple fix!) Yes. That's IT!

Rice Cooker - Hard Boiled Eggs

Image
One of the things I picked up at Costco was a new Rice Cooker. The one I have, well, I gave that to the Boy when he went away to college (so he could make his macaroni and cheese), not to mention, it was small as heck, like mini size! So, I figured, you know, Hubby likes to make rice occasionally. The Boy makes brown rice in the microwave every other day and leaves the bubbly residue behind for ME to find when I go to heat something up (I hate a dirty microwave, totally wigs me out and sends me running for the windex!) ... so I grabbed the rice cooker ($29.95), a 10 pound bag of organic brown rice and a 20 pound bag of Basmati rice. I'm asking myself now, a whole week later, what the hell am I going to do with 20 pounds of Basmati rice? Anyways. Then I was reading the recipe booklet that came along with the cooker. They had one recipe that said to add the eggs, unshelled, to the steamer basket.  Ok. That made me re-read it a few times. Unshelled? Did they mean out of the shell?
