Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Fries

Dinner Tonight: Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Fries





For Breakfast this morning I made some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, heated up some
Meijer Diced Ham,and made a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. I made a bed of the Hash Browns in a bowl and sprinkled some Sargento Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Next I put the Diced Ham over top the Hash Browns and served. Love those Potatoes and Ham! 86 degrees and humid out today. Spent most of the day doing yard work. Being a left leg amputee,thank goodness I have my 4 wheel mobility cart so I can get out and get most of the work done. And some good neighbors! For dinner tonight I prepared a Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich w/ Baked Fries.

When it’s Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches it’s always Montgomery Inn Hardwood Smoked Pulled Pork
with BBQ Sauce. Montgomery Inn is one of the original Barbecue and Ribs Restaurant in the Cincinnati area. It has some of the finest BBQ food anywhere! They also sell their Ribs and Pulled Pork and Chicken at all Kroger. So when it’s Pulled Pork I almost always use the Montgomery Inn brand. Anyway you just heat it in a medium sauce pan until it’s warmed and you have BBQ. It’s the perfect combination of the Pork and the mouth watering Montgomery Inn Sauce that makes this so delicious! Plus it’s only 110 calories and 8 carbs per serving. I served it on a Aunt Millie’s Reduced Calorie Whole Grain Bun.



For the Fries I’m using Alexia Organic Yukon Select Fries. Seasoned them with McCormick Grinder Sea Salt and Black Peppercorn Medley. Baked them at 425 degrees for 16 minutes. They bake up beautifully and seasoned just right, excellent Fry! Plus they are only 120 calories and 15 net carbs. For Dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Wild Idea Buffalo Recipe of the Week - BISON STEAKS WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

This week's Wild Idea Buffalo Recipe of the Week is - BISON STEAKS WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE. The recipe is made using one of my favorite cuts, the Wild Idea Buffalo - HANGING TENDER STEAK. These are so tender and delicious! The Steaks are marinated in a Chimichurri Sauce. Chimichurri Sauce is a herb sauce that originated in Argentina. The recipe and preparation are both included below. You can find this recipe and purchase the Wild Idea Buffalo - HANGING TENDER STEAK along with all the Wild Idea Products at the Wild Idea Buffalo website, Enjoy and Eat Healthy in 2018!  https://wildideabuffalo.com/

Bison Steaks with Chimichurri Sauce
Chimichurri sauce is an aromatic herb sauce that originated in Argentina. Although there are many variations on the proportions of herbs and garlic, you should adjust to your own liking. Red wine vinegar or white or red wine may also be substituted, but in making many varieties I feel the white wine vinegar compliments the grass-fed bison a bit more. The one thing you should not adjust is using more oil than vinegar or wine, as it will leave you with an oily sauce.

Chimichurri Ingredients:

1 - cup fresh parsley, coarsely chopped

1 - tablespoon oregano

½ - tablespoon black pepper

1 - tablespoon chili flake or chili powder

½ - teaspoon salt

6 – cloves garlic

1 - teaspoon lemon juice

1/3 - cup white wine vinegar

1/3 - cup olive oil

Preparation:

1 - Place all ingredients in blender and puree.
2 - Divide Chimichurri sauce into 2 portions.
3 - Place steak or steaks in half of the marinade and reserve the other half to serve with steaks.
4 - Allow the steaks to marinade (based on cut) for 2 to 24 hours, with the last two hours before grilling at room temperature.
5 - Shake off excess marinade from steaks and grill over high heat, according to steak cut.

6 - Remove steaks from grill and allow to rest covered at room temperature for 5 minutes.
7 - Serve steaks with Chimichurri sauce at room temperature. Refrigerate unused sauce for later use.
Note: For recipe feature, I used the Hanging Tender (Hanger Steak). The hanger steak has a long piece of sinew that runs the length of the cut. You can leave it - which I often do, or you can remove it, leaving you with two long pieces. Or you can also cut the two pieces into steak medallions.

I marinated the Hanger Steak for about 6 hours. However, if using a cut that requires longer marinating, such as the Flank Steak, I would marinade it overnight.

Wild Idea Buffalo - HANGING TENDER STEAK 16 OZ.

Also known as the hanger steak, this is a coveted favorite of butchers. There is only one hanging tender steak per bison and it is cut from the primal plate. The deep rich flavor and delicate tenderness requires less cooking time. Roast whole or cut for medallions or kebabs.    1 lb.
