This
wonderful meal is celebration with out a special cause. It can be a
reward for just being yourself. Or as an honor to that someone that
brings you joy.
A
juicy steak that cuts like butter, topped with a mushroom sauce,
creamy real mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli
Ingredients:
1
lbs chuck steak
4oz
sliced mushrooms
½
cup chopped red onion
½
cup non fat half & half
2
tbs cake flour
2
tbs whiskey
kosher
salt & pepper to taste
Brine:
¼
cup kosher salt
Directions:
To
make sure your steak is tasty, coat it with kosher salt for at least
an hour.
When
ready to cook, rinse
and
pat dry with paper towels.
Pre
heat the oven to 225
degrees.
(this is low and slow)
Line
a pan with foil and spray a rack to set inside.
Make
a couple of small slits on the sides of the steak where the white
line of fat is. This will keep the steak from “cupping”.
Place
in oven for about 25
minutes
or until a thermometer reads 110
degrees.
Heat
2 tbs of olive oil and 1 tbs of butter in a large skillet over medium
heat. When hot, sear the meat for 2
minutes
or until a nice golden. This will go enterprisingly quick since the
outside layer has dried in the oven. Test for temps of about 135
to 140 for
medium.
Go no further if you want a juicy steak. Remove the meat and tent
with foil to rest.
Into
the grease add the onions and mushrooms. Stir and cook for 8
minutes
adding the tbs of flour stir well for the last minute of cooking.
Spoon
in the bourbon and add the cup of non fat half and half. Cook and
stir until nice and thick, about 6
to 7 minutes.
Serve
over the steak.
Some
avoid making mashed potatoes because of the peeling and
cutting involved. So here we use a pre-diced potato, frozen to make
hash browns. Just dump them into boiling water for 15 minutes, test
to make sure they are soft, drain and mash with some butter and milk:
heaven!
Cook
broccoli in the microwave by placing it in a bowl and adding about 2
to 3 tablespoons of water. Microwave on high for about two
minutes, then check for tenderness.
Then
when finished, sprinkle with salt and add a tbs of butter.
What
a special feast!
REMEMBER:
Happiness
is an essential part of life. The pursuit of happiness is enshrined
in the foundation of our country.
You
deserve to be happy. At times we might lose track of that. Some
days we need to sit and refocus on that truth.
Spend
time doing things that make us happy.
Try,
in our words and deeds, to bring happiness to those around us. Even
little unexpected things can brighten a persons day.
The
doctors oath states : “First do no harm”. Let us try: “First,
do something good!”
You
will find that a head rests easy at night when it has brightened the
day for others.
