Steak and Cheese Hogies w/ Baked Fries

Today's Menu: Steak and Cheese Hogies w/ Baked Fries

Well after watching our mighty Cincinnati Reds season end this afternoon I made a dinner to cheer everyone up, Steak and Cheese Hogies and Baked Fries. I used a London Broil, weighed about 1 lb 3/4. I seasoned it with McCormick grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn. I then heated a large skillet to medium high heat. Place the beef in the skillet and let it cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, check before flipping to make sure it has nicely browned. At this point, if you have a steak only an inch thick or less, you can take the skillet off the heat and just let the steak sit for several minutes in the skillet, which will retain enough heat to cook the steak to medium rare. You can test for doneness by using a small sharp knife and cutting into the center to check the color. While the Steak is frying, in a medium bowl whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Slice and Sautee the Onions and Mushrooms, set aside. Remove the steak from the pan to a cutting board. Slice the steak thinly and toss the slices in the Worcestershire sauce mixture.Pre heat your oven to Broiler. I used Aunt Millie's Whole Grain Deli Style Mini Sub Buns for the bread. Spread the buns open and arrange on a baking sheet.Top each bun with a slice of the Muenster Cheese and put them under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes.  In a small bowl, whisk together Greek Yogurt, Mayonnaise and Hot Sauce. Spread the mayonnaise onto the bottom of each bun. Put the slices of the beef onto each of the roll and top with the mushroom slices, onions, and roasted sweet red peppers. What a sandwich! The Steak and all the toppings make one fine dinner. I left the complete recipe at the end of the post.

I also baked some Alexia Shoestring Fries for a side. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Chocolate pudding topped with Cool Whip Free.


Steak and Cheese Hoagies

Ingredients

1 1/2 pound London Broil
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and freshly Ground Black Peppercorn
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon French’s Spicy Brown Mustard
1 teaspoon chopped Rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
Aunt Millie Whole Grain Deli Mini Sub Buns
Sargento’s Muenster Cheese Slices, 1 slice per sandwich
1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Kraft Reduced Fat Mayonnaise w/ Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Frank’s Hot Sauce
5 Large Portabella Mushrooms, sliced and sauteed.
2 Onions, sliced and sauteed
1 jar Roasted Sweet Peppers

Directions

1 Remove steak from refrigerator 2 hours before cooking to bring to room temperature (only do this with whole cuts of meat, never with ground meat.) Add sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

2 Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Place the beef in the skillet and let it cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, check before flipping to make sure it has nicely browned. At this point, if you have a steak only an inch thick or less, you can take the skillet off the heat and just let the steak sit for several minutes in the skillet, which will retain enough heat to cook the steak to medium rare. You can test for doneness by using a small sharp knife and cutting into the center to check the color. Also, if the steak is brown on both sides and it is weeping red juice.

* If you have a thicker steak, you can finish it off in the oven, at 325°F for 15 minutes or so. Use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature of the steak. It will be done at 130°F for medium rare. If you are using the oven method, when done, remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.

3 While the Steak is frying, in a medium bowl whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, mustard, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Set aside. Slice and Sautee Mushrooms and set aside. Pre heat your oven to the broiler setting, to heat buns up.

4 Remove the steak from the pan to a cutting board. Slice the steak thinly and toss the slices in the Worcestershire sauce mixture.

5 Spread the buns open and arrange on a baking sheet.Top each bun with a slice of the cheese and put them under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes.

6 In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and hot sauce. Spread the mayonnaise onto the bottom of each bun. Put the slices of the beef onto each of the roll and top with the mushroom slices, onions, roasted sweet peppers.

Grilled London Broil & Sauteed Mushrooms and Crumbled Bleu Cheese w/....

Today's Menu: Grilled London Broil & Sauteed Mushrooms and Crumbled Bleu Cheese w/ Grilled Asparagus, Grilled Seasoned Potatoes, and Whole Grain Bread.



Wow capped off a beautiful Saturday with a fantastic Grilled Dinner! Grilled London Broil & Sauteed Mushrooms and Crumbled Bleu Cheese w/ Grilled Asparagus, Grilled Seasoned Potatoes, and Whole Grain Bread. I had half a London Broil left in the freezer that I used. I rubbed it with a light coat of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned it with McCormick Grinder Steakhouse Seasoning. I grilled it on high about 4 minutes per side. It came out just perfect, medium rare! I topped it with Sauteed Mushrooms and Crumbled Bleu Cheese.

Along with the Steak I had Grilled Grilled Asparagus that I rubbed with a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil and seasoned with Sea Salt. The Asparagus is a Meijer Brand Asparagus that you can warm in a skillet or bake, which is what i did. Baked at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. i also prepared some Sliced Cheese and Herb Seasoned Potatoes. These were Meijer Brand also and very easy to prepare as well. Just warm in a skillet for about 5 minutes and their done. The Bread was Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread.

The Grilled Steaks, Asparagus, Potatoes, and Whole Grain Bread, what a meal! Any meat is just unbelievable when grilled. I'm looking forward to purchasing the Big Green Egg Grill hopefully next summer and really putting it to use! For dessert I baked some Pillsbury Apple Turnovers. It's been a good day!

*The crumbled bleu cheese and mushrooms were added after the picture, sorry for poor picture quality,

I used the leftover London Broil from the other day and I had the begining of some fantastic Wraps! I sliced the remaining London Broil into thin slices and wrapped them in paper towels and warmed them up in the microwave. For the Wrap I used Flatout Light Italian Flat bread. Love these they are 100% Whole Wheat , High Fiber, and only 90 calories and 16 carbs, I left the info and web link at the end of the post. I topped the Steak with JB’s Fat Boy Chipotle Sauce, sliced Deli Jalapenos, sliced Black Olives, Lettuce, Daisy Reduced Fat Sour Cream, fresh Grated Havarti Cheese and fresh grated Smoked Dutch Gouda. After assembling the wrap and folding it I put it in the microwave for 35 seconds. The lean and delicious Steak along with heat of the Jalapenos, Chipotle Sauce, and the fresh and creaminess of the Smoked Gouda Cheese and Havarti Cheese just makes an unbelievable Wrap! For dessert later a Mango-Cheesecake Parfait that I had made yesterday. You can find the recipe for this on an earlier post from today.

Grilled London Broil w/ Red, White, and Blue Roasted Potatoes, Sauteed Mushroom Blend,..

Today's Menu: Grilled London Broil w/ Red, White, and Blue Roasted Potatoes, Sauteed Mushroom Blend, and Whole Grain Bread



I think Summertime is here! It's 90 degrees and getting very humid out, never bad enough not to grill though! I had a grilled London Broil Steak that I had seasoned with Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper. Grilled it on medium high about 4 minutes per side. Came moist and juicy. I'm saving half the Steak for another dish Friday or Saturday. I prefer Bison but the London Broil isn't a bad substitute!

Along with the Steak I tried another new one  Red, White, and Blue Roasted Potatoes w/ Cheese and Bacon. Very good Summery potato dish. I used Red Potatoes, Fingerling Potatoes, and Purple Potatoes. First time I ever used Purple Potatoes. I found them yesterday while at Jungle Jim's Market. i quartered the potatoes and added them to a bowl that I had added and mixed Kraft Free Ranch Dressing, Sargento Shredded Italian 4 Cheese Blend, Oscar Mayer Real Bacon Bits, and Dill. Mixed the Potatoes in making sure they were coated and spooned them into a baking dish and baked at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. I left the recipe at the end of the post. I think you'll like this one the Ranch Dressing gives the Potatoes a really great flavor. I also sauteed a Mushroom Blend of Baby Bella, Shiitake, Oyster Mushrooms. I seasoned them with Sea Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Parsley, and Smoked Cumin. For bread I had Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread.
