 There was some playing with proportions but this was deeeeelicious and will try again. Beef & Broccoli Marinade 1.5 lbs steak, sliced thin (we used ribeye, can use flank) 1 tbsp cornstarch 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tsp soy sauce 1 tsp oil 1 tsp ginger 1 tsp garlic Sauce 1 cup chicken or beef broth 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tsp dark soy sauce 1 tsp sesame oil 2 tbsp brown sugar White pepper In the Pan 1 tsp ginger 1 tsp garlic 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine Cornstarch slurry to thicken Cut your steak against the grain. We purchased the pre-sliced ribeye from Costco. Cook broccoli. We spread it out on a cookie sheet and bake in the toaster oven at 350* for 18 minutes. Mix marinade into the sliced meat and set aside for 30+ minutes (the longer the better). Prepare your sauce by whisking all sauce ingredients into a mixing bowl. Set aside. In a large skillet or wok, heat oil until very hot. Add in your marinated meat and spread out to brown. Leave it alone to brown

 We've made this twice and done it differently each time. I liked the flavor better the first time but the texture better the second. Key difference is cooking the potatoes first, and that's a must. Using frozen potatoes is just too wet. Breakfast Casserole 1 lb bacon, cooked and diced 1 onion, diced 1 bell pepper, deseeded and diced 1 can green chiles 12 large eggs 1 cup milk 1 tbsp neutral oil 3 cups frozen diced potatoes 2 cups shredded cheese Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika to taste Cook bacon in preferred method. We prefer to bake it on a cookie sheet in the oven at 400* for 22 minutes. Dice cooked bacon. Set aside. Dice one onion. Deseed and dice one bell pepper.  In a large skillet, heat bacon fat or oil. Saute the onion and bell pepper, adding salt, pepper, and garlic to taste. Once vegetables are tender, set aside. In the same large skillet, heat oil. When oil is very hot, pour in frozen potatoes. Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Cook according t

Red Enchilada Sauce 3 tbsp olive oil 3 tbsp flour 1 tbsp chili powder 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp garlic 1/4 tsp oregano 1/2 tsp salt 2 tbsp tomato paste 2 cups chicken broth 1 tsp apple cider vinegar Black pepper to taste Mix your spices and flour together in a small bowl. Make sure you have the tomato paste, chicken broth, and vinegar ready as well. In a medium size pot, heat the oil. You'll know it's ready if it sizzles when you sprinkle a tiny bit of the spice mixture. When the oil is hot, pour in the spice mixture, whisking constantly until it darkens just a bit (about 1 minute).  Whisk in tomato paste, then slowly add the chicken broth. Raise the heat to medium high and bring mixture to a simmer, whisking frequently. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat, pour in vinegar and add pepper as preferred. 

 Apple Pie Oatmeal 2 tbsp butter 2 apples, chopped 1-1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tbsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp clove 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups milk (we prefer whole but any will work) 2 cups apple juice (you can use water) Chop apples. We usually leave the skin on but you can remove it. Melt butter in a large pot on the stove. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Stir occasionally and cook until apples are tender. Pour in oats, milk and juice. Mix well. Cook until the oats have reached the desired consistency, usually 3-5 minutes. They will look watery while the heat is still on so be careful not to over cook.
