As usual, I trying to find a new recipe for my home cooking and I decided to do something out of my comfort zone. Burger!! This is my second time doing a homemade burgers and I can’t remember when the last time I did it was. My hubby is a picky eater when it comes to Burger. And what I do if he complains?? Just ignore it and never do it again. Ha ha ha……..
Anyhow, find this recipe pretty good and yum! Of course you can add your own spice to have that kick of your own but this is the basic recipe for a beginner. It’s always good to make your own patties as you know what kind of meats you’re using and ingredients. So, please enjoy the new recipe and try it yourselves.
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 hamburger buns, split

Method:

1)      Prepare grill for direct cooking.
2)      Combine beef, parsley, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape mixture into four ½-inch-thick burgers.
3)      Place burgers on grid. Grill, covered, over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes (or, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes) to medium (160F) or to desired doneness, turning halfway through grilling time.
4)      Remove burgers from grill. Place burgers between buns; top each burger with Burger Spread.

Steak au Poivre

I usually have steak day once a week and I’ve been cooked the same steak over and over again. It’s like the only recipe I knew. Then something kicks in to me or I’m bored with the same steak; that’s when I decided to give a changed on the steak. At first, I’m not sure if I should do it or not when my mind always have this thought about WHAT IF it don’t taste that good or I fail. And you can see, I give it a try and hubby love it too.

Now, I would love to share it with you guys and give it a try at home.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
4 beef tenderloin steak or 2 beef top loin steaks, cut 1 inch thick (1 pound)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
¼ cup brandy or beef broth
¼ cup beef broth
½ cup whipping cream (no substitutes)
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard

Method
1. Use your fingers to press the pepper onto both sides of the steaks. If using top lion steaks, cut each steak in half crosswise. In a large skillet cook steaks in hot butter over medium heat to desired doneness, turning once. For tenderloin steaks, allow 10 – 13 minutes for medium rare (145F) to medium (160F). For top loin steaks, allow 12 – 15 minutes for medium rare to medium. Transfer steaks to a serving platter, reserving dripping in skillet; keep warm.
2. Remove skillet from burner and allow to stand for 1 minute. For sauce, combine brandy and beef broth (or all beef broth); carefully stir into drippings in skillet, scraping up crusty browned bits. Stir in whipping cream and mustard. Bring to boiling. Boil gently, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until mixture is reduced to ½ cup, stirring occasionally. Spoon sauce over steaks to serve.
