5 oz. Buffalo Sirloin and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Baked Potato and Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: 5 oz. Buffalo Sirloin and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Baked Potato and Green Beans

Not quite as cold today, high in the 40's. No rain but cloudy and dreary out. Not a whole lot going on today, a bit of laundry and watching Football. I had bought some Honey Crisp Apples from Kroger the other day and they were possibly some of the largest and juicy Honey Crisps I had ever had! Good crop coming in so far. Have to fast after 10:00 pm tonight, Doctor's appointment in the morning and they'll be doing blood work, checking Cholesterol and Sugar. So for dinner I wanted a filling and healthy dinner so tonight I prepared 5 oz. Buffalo Sirloin and Sauteed Mushrooms w/ Baked Potato and Green Beans.







I used my favorite brand of Buffalo, Wild Idea Buffalo 5 oz. Petite Top Sirloin Steak. I seasoned it with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper and pan fried it, in Canola Oil. Fried it about 4 minutes per side, to a medium rare. The taste of Wild Buffalo Steaks are just incredible! The meat has a sweet taste to it and cooks up so easy. I topped it with some Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms.







For a side I had a Baked Potato that I seasoned with Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. i also heated up a small can of Del Monte Cut green Beans and had a slice of Klosterman Wheat Bread. For dessert later a Jello Sugarless Double Chocolate Pudding topped with a dab of Cool Whip Free.

Buffalo Steak and Egg Breakfast!

Another morning in the 20's here so I wanted to fix a hearty Breakfast to warm it up! I had a Wild Idea

Buffalo 6 oz. Buffalo Sirloin Steak, a 1 Egg Scrambled Egg, and 2 slices of toasted Klosterman Wheat Bread.






I seasoned the Buffalo Sirloin with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. I then pan fried it in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, fried it about 3 1/2 minutes per side. Nice char outside and moist and pink in the middle. These are the most tender and delicious Buffalo Steaks there are! I could eat these for any meal. I also made a 1 Egg Scrambled Egg that I topped with a sprinkle of Sargento Reduced Fat Shredded Sharp Cheddar. To finish everything I toasted a couple of slices of Klosterman Wheat Bread topping with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. With the morning papers and a hot cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea I was ready for that cold and blustery Saturday!

Surf (Scallops) and Turf ( 5oz Buffalo Sirloin) w/ Sauteed Mushrooms, Baked Potato...

Today's Menu: Surf (Scallops) and Turf (5 oz Buffalo Sirloin) w/ Sauteed Mushrooms, Baked Potato, and baked Garlic Knot Bread

I had no clue on what to have for dinner tonight, even considered going out for dinner. When I get those urges I just go on line and to the restaurants web site and look at all the calories, carbs, and fat that's in their food and that pretty much squashes that urge to eat out! So I hit some current cooking magazines I had and came across a Scallop dish that looked and sounded too good to pass, Basil - Lime Scallops. With the Scallops I added a Wild Idea Petite 5 oz. Buffalo Sirloin. I had tonight's dinner, Surf (Scallops) and Turf (5 oz Buffalo Sirloin) w/ Sauteed Mushrooms, Baked Potato, and baked Garlic Knot Bread! After eating I'm very glad I stayed home and cooked instead of going out!



To make the Basil - Lime Scallops you'll need; 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh Basil, 1 Teaspoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce, 1 Teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 Clove Garlic, minced, 1/8 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, and 8 Jumbo Sea Scallops. I had purchased the Scallops last week at Kroger and had them in the freezer. To prepare them start off by whisking Basil, Lime Juice, Soy Sauce, Olive Oil, Garlic, and Red Pepper Flakes in a shallow bowl until smooth and well blended. Add Scallops; turn to coat evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Cook Scallops 3 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached. There are 2 Scallops a serving. You can Garnish with Lime Wedges (Optional). If you need an easy and delicious Scallop recipe you have one here! The marinade is perfect for Scallops, i think it might go good with Shrimp also. There are 92 calories, 2 grams of fat, and 5 carbs per serving, 2 Scallops. The recipe is at the end of the post.



To go along with the Scallops I had a Wild Idea  Buffalo 5 oz. Petite Sirloin Steak, Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms, a Baked Potato, and baked Garlic Knot Bread. As always, as of late, I used a Wild Idea Buffalo as my choice of Bison Steak. I used a 5 oz. Petite Buffalo Sirloin that I seasoned with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I pan fried it in Canola Oil, about 4 minutes per side to medium rare. As usual the Buffalo came out sweet, juicy, and just flat out delicious! Thank you Wild Idea! I topped it with some Sauteed Baby Bella Mushrooms. I also had a Baked Potato and Baked Garlic Knot Bread which is from the Walmart Bakery. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
