• 785 Beef cutting

    Title: Onion 'n Pepper Beef Steak Sandwich
    It looked pretty okay until
    8 oz Beef round tip steak cut 1/8
    To 1/4" thick
    where the ideal thickness is "as thin as possible."
    I would think that 1/8 inch would be about as thin as I can manage. You might well be able to do better.

    Your knives are pretty good. I'd suggest
    freezing the beef until it's firm but not hard
    frozen and then slicing. For a recipe of this
    nature one could use "shaved steak," a product
    which I don't have much use for, but here it
    looks appropriate.

    There are multiple things with this recipe that I would not like, and
    maybe only one thing that you would like. But the only changes I made
    before publishing it for you were in an attempt to repair some of the
    damage done by someone publishing it in two column format at one point.
    Title: OPEN-FACE TOASTED VEGETABLE SANDWICHES
    Categories: None, Sandwich

    I like "none" as a category.

    1 Eggplant -- about 1 lb.
    2 Red bell peppers
    1/4 c Olive oil
    4 Mini-loaves
    French bread preferably
    Whole wheat
    3 oz Sun-dried tomatoes -- sliced
    Into strips
    1 Avocado -- peeled and
    Sliced

    Sundried ttomatoes and avocadoes are fine. red bell
    peppers, sometimes they go well in things.

    1/2 c Chopped basil
    3 Firm, fresh plum tomatoes --
    Sliced
    1 c Lowfat Mozzarella cheese --
    Grated
    1 c Lowfat cheddar cheese --
    Grated

    But reduced-fat cheese is suspect.

    8 oz Alfalfa sprouts

    Alfalfa sprouts, too.

    4 Pickles

    Not sure - neither sour dills nor bread-and-butters
    seem to go here. Maybe half-sours? Giving the recipe
    the benefit of the doubt.

    Nobody hung around to take the blame for this one, eh.

    Title: Stuffed Mushrooms #3
    Categories: Appetizers, Syd's book
    Servings: 6

    24 Extra Large Fancy Mushrooms
    2 tb Minced Onion
    2 tb Minced Green Pepper
    1/4 c Bread Crumbs
    1/2 c Sour Cream

    MMMMM-----------------------------GARNISH----------------------------------
    Sliced Ripe Olives

    Preheat oven to 325F. Remove the stems from the mushrooms and reserve
    them for another recipe. If you want you can mince some of the stems and
    include them with the stuffing mix. Combine the bread crumbs with the
    sour
    cream and mix until well blended. Add onion and green peppers. Mix
    well.
    Fill each mushroom cap with the stuffing mix and place on a cookie sheet.
    Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until hot. Remove from oven. Garnish with
    sliced olives and serve as a great appetizer. CAUTION: Since mushrooms
    contain a large amount of water it is necessary for these little beauties
    to cool a little before eating. The very hot water in them can cause
    burns
    to the mouth and then your guests can't enjoy the entree. From: Syd's

    I would think that 1/8 inch would be about as thin as I can manage. You might well be able to do better.

    Your knives are pretty good. I'd suggest
    freezing the beef until it's firm but not hard
    frozen and then slicing.

    We actually have several grades of knives. There is the normal sort of
    chef's knife which I try to keep sharp as best I can. Then for
    something that requires a finer shave, I use a ceramic knife that our
    daughter gave us a few years ago. With fresh beef I can do 1/8 inch or
    maybe a little bit thinner. I have heard of slicing semi-frozen meats,
    and do that occasionally -- but I'm usually not taken the effort.

    For a recipe of this
    nature one could use "shaved steak," a product
    which I don't have much use for, but here it
    looks appropriate.

    We do have some of that in the freezer -- it is carried by BJs and Giant
    on occasion. It does work well for Philly cheese steak sandwiches.


    We would not put any of the Additional toppings onto our PCS. Only
    additional topping might be fried or sweated onions (not raw). Also the
    only cheese for us is Cheese Whiz. That is pretty much the only thing
    we use whiz for.

    Title: The Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich
    Categories: Sandwich
    Yield: 1 servings

    5 oz Steak (read below)
    Water to moisten
    2 1/2 oz Desired cheese (read below)
    9 1/2-inch hoagie roll
    Fried onions
    Additional Toppings:
    Mushrooms, raw onions,
    Sweet red & green peppers,
    Pizza sauce, lettuce,
    Tomato

    At Olivieri Prince of Steaks in Philadelphia, chef/owner Rick Olivieri
    (third generation) tells us about the original. "It all started in
    1932 with my grandfather Pat. He owned a small hot-dog stand but got
    tired of eating hot dogs every day, so he sent his brother around the
    corner for sliced steak. He prepared it, slapped it into a hot-dog
    bun and was just about to eat it when a cabbie pulled up and said,
    'Hey, that looks good.' The rest, as they say, is history, part of
    which included the addition of cheese in the late 1940's, when they
    were looking to try something new."

    To make one cheese-steak sandwich, take the steak (Olivieri's
    recommended cut: the eye of the chuck) and slice it very thin. Panfry
    in large skillet with no grease or oil, just enough water to moisten.
    Right before it's done, top with desired cheese (American, provolone,
    mozzarella or Cheez Whiz) until melted. Put meat and cheese on the
    hoagie roll, then top with fried onions. Add additional toppings if
    desired. *Article from Woman's Day magazine*
