I have a pice of thin cut sirloin steak, which I intend to season, dredge, skillet sear and finsh cook in oinion gravy. Would it be adviseable to tenderize (hammer) the steak first ?

I want to duplicate my late mothers skillet steak and onions. She used several pieces of steak, I guess thin cut sirloin would work or round, about 3" squarish. The steak and the chopped onion were cooked in a skillet and when finished it was in an almost black tasty gravy. I guess she added...

Problem solved, it was the age of the potatoes. I really meant to save some for my wife, but these things are addictive.

oven roasted potatoes These almost dry roasted, small pieces of potatoes are a new thing for me and I love them as a snack. I grew up with mom making REAL roasted potatoes. Peel, halve longways and par boil, pour about a 1/4" of oil (she used lard) into a full size roasting tin, season the the...

Thanks everybody. I basically do what everyone else seems to do - it must have been those old,old potatoes. Kosher salt is one of the many things that I sprinkle, including garlic powder, rosemary, thyme, chopped basil, cayenne etc. i like to start with skin down, them flip halfway through...

My memory may be tainted by my last effort. In that case the potatoes were old, in fact I had to rub off a bunch of 'sprouts'. My next effort will be with brand new potatoes, bought this morning, so I guess I'll just keep doing the same thing one more time. I usually quarter the smaller...

Southeast Texas and I don't think that we have a Trader Joes. Thanks for your response.

I have no interest in starting from scratch on a sphagetti sauce, I just need to add onion, mushroom and ground meat to a store bought bottle of sauce. To that end, does anyone have a reccomendation for the 'tartiest', tomato sharp bottled sauce with a strong marinara bite?

I find lots of receipes for pot roast etc, but I want to cook a straight carvery type roast in the oven, which will be medium with a black crusty outside. I would also like to surround it with potatoes and carrots. I know that I have to season with salt and pepper, but other than that ...

I make a thick sphagetti sauce using ground meat and onions added to a Ragu bottled sauce (plus a little red pepper, Worcester sauce, brown sugar and tomato paste). However, I now find it very bland and eating it is just like spooning down oatmeal. I would like it to have a sharp, biting...
