Steak Bites

Steak Tidbits?

Sorry for crummy picture ... it was late and I was hangry ... 

I just decided to stick with the Steak Bites .... it describes them perfectly!

I love steak. And would love to eat it daily, but alas, I'm on a mission to live a little more Frugal and pay off some debt and the mortgage as soon as possible, so I figured, bits of steak are better than NO steak ... right?

Oh, yeah, there's the Pantry Challenge too ... so we pretty much are using what we have, which luckily, consists of some bits of steak!

This is a quick and easy set up ... and I can't wait to do it again!

1 1/2 pounds or so of steak. I used a flat iron steak as that's what I had in the freezer
2 tbs of ghee. Yes, I have ghee. If  you don't, you can use butter ...
salt
black pepper
Steak seasoning (I used this Montreal Steak Seasoning that I've had like forever ... it's being used a lot in the past few weeks!)

Cut your steak in to cubes, about 1 inch or so. Toss the cubes in a bowl and season generously with the seasoning, salt and pepper.

Turn on your stove vent and maybe crack a window open.

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add ghee or butter. Melt, swirl around the pan and add half the meat cubes.

Let cook for about 2 minutes and then flip all the pieces over quickly. Allow to cook til desired doneness and move them to a bowl or serving platter. Repeat with balance of the steak bits ... you should NOT need more ghee or butter but if you do, add a little more.

Stick a few random toothpicks in a couple of pieces if desired and serve up family style.

Enjoy!

*Note - I was serving potato soup alongside. I also had rice cooking in the rice cooker and some black beans simmering on the stove. The kids (all 4) opted to make burritos with a tortilla wrap, rice, black beans, green onions and cheese (for the soup) and the steak bits ... I'm glad they did because I was a little apprehensive about not having enough beef to go around! So thankful that my kids are innovative!

    My son would also eat steak every day if he could. When he was little he would always ask for a "big hunk of meat." I like the idea of little pieces though. Thanks for sharing!

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?
