Wednesday - Beef Roast in Wine Sauce - Crockpot Recipe
Thursday - Basil chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce
Friday - Spaghetti Squash with Tomato and Beef Sauce
If you wondering why a lot of what I make has a sauce. One reason it makes it taste so much yummier and also I start preparing and cooking when Davey is having a snack at about 4pm and then he eats at 6 and Shane and I don't eat until 7 or 8. Having a sauce for the meat to sit allows it to not get dried out during the time we are working out and having some family time.

ReplyDeleteCoconut Ginger Steak and Shrimp
ReplyDeletePick your favorite cut of meat, we like Top Sirloin, because it is one of the leanest cuts.
1 or 2 lbs peeled and deveined Shrimp, depends on how much shrimp you like
2 Can coconut Milk
4 Tbs ginger
2 Tbs Honey
In a bowl mix in 1 can coconut milk, 2 Tbs ginger and 1 Tbs honey. Trim fat off of steaks. In a pan place the steaks and pour the mixture on top and refrigerate, until about 30 min before you want to grill the steaks. I usually keep them in the frige for about 6 hours.
In another bowl, mix the other can of coconut milk, ginger and honey. You can either put the shrimp and coconut mixture in a bowl or ziplock, whatever is easier for you. Also refrigerate, when you take the steaks out also take the shrimp out and make a foil bag to pour the shrimp and mixture into and seal up.
Grill the steaks to your liking. Also, put the foil bag on the grill (top rack if you have one) and cook until the shrimp are pink and the tails curl.
When done grilling serve steak with shrimp and sauce mixture poured over the top!!
I have two recipes to put on here. I swapped Tuesday and Wednesday, I wasn't in the mood for Chicken last night. So Tuesday we had Beef Roast. For the roast get your Crock pot ready.
ReplyDelete1 Sirloin Beef Roast
2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
1/2 Red onion, chopped
5 Vine Riped Tomatoes or medium sized tomatoes
3 TB Black Pepper
2 TB Dried Mustard
Red Wine
Put your roast in the Crockpot. Put your tomatoes, garlic and onion in around the roast. Sprinkle that pepper and mustard on top of roast. Pour wine into Crockpot until there is only about an inch of the roast showing. If you have a digital crockpot put it on high for 4 hours, if not just put it on low for the time your at work or 8 hours.
Super easy and yummy!!!
Tonight is....
Lemon Dill Chicken
4 to 6 chicken breasts
4 TB Dill Weed
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
1 Cup White Wine
2 TB Garlic Powder
2 TB Onion Powder
Olive Oil
In a skillet brown the chicken with a little olice oil, dill weed, onion and garlic powder on each side and a little lemon juice on the bottom. After browning the chicken put in the wine and the rest of everything else and cook on a low heat until ready to eat!! Eat when ready!!
The lemon dill chicken is the best yet. I am sitting here at my desk and work eating it for lunch and it is amazing. Great job Karen! Healthy and super delicious! Who knew it was possible!?!?
