Great Grilled Steak              by: Chef Norm

   1 (3oz)              Steak (either T-Bone or Ribeye)
   2 cloves           garlic, chopped into small chunks
1/4 tspn               salt
1/4 tspn               black pepper
1/4 tspn               oregano
   2 tblspn            olive oil
1/2 cup                balsamic vinegar
   2 tblspn            lemon juice
   1 small             chile (your favorite variety) (I like serrantos)
1/2 cup                onion, chopped
                            parsley to garnish

Chop garlic into small chunks and penetrate steak with a knife to create
slits to insert garlic chunks into. In a plastic zip bag, mix remaining
ingredients and place steak in to marinate for about an hour.
(The longer it marinates the better it tastes!) You can either discard the
marinating ingredients or place in a saucepan on medium heat to create
a great steak sauce!

MOUSSAKA

MEAT SAUCE
2 lb Ground beef
2 Onions, chopped
3 tblspn  Tomato paste
1/2 cup  Dry red wine
1/4 tspn  Cinnamon
1/4 tspn  Allspice
Salt and pepper to taste

EGGPLANT LAYER
2 - 3 Large eggplants
Salt, as needed (optional)
Olive oil, as needed

BECHAMEL SAUCE
4 cups Milk
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Flour
5 Eggs
Pinch nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste

OTHER STUFF
1 cup Parmesan cheese
6 cups Mashed potatoes (approx, I never measured)

First prepare the sauce. Saute the ground beef in a large skillet, drain, add
onions and cook until softened. Add remaining sauce ingredients, stir well,
cover and simmer about 45 minutes. It will be very thick, more meaty than
saucey.
Meanwhile, prepare eggplants. Peel (optional) and slice 3/4 inch thick.
Optionally salt and layer in a colander, top with a weighted plate and let drip
for 20 minutes. Rinse well and pat dry. Brush both sides of eggplant slices
with olive oil and place in a single layer on baking sheets and bake at 400
degrees for about 30 minutes, turning once. They should be cooked tender.
Prepare bechamel sauce: In a medium saucepan melt the butter. Blend in
the flour, then gradually stir in the milk. Cook, stirring constantly until
thickened. Stir in salt, pepper and nutmeg. Beat eggs, stir in some of the hot
sauce, then add the egg mixture to the sauce, blending well.

To assemble: Grease a large deep pan (like a lasagna pan). Arrange half
the eggplant slices on the bottom, spread half the meat sauce mixture over
it. Sprinkle with half the cheese. Arrange the remaining eggplant next, top
with the remaining meat sauce. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the
entire dish. Pour the bechemal sauce over it and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour, until set.
Let rest 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve. Freezes well (after baking).
Yield: about 12 servings.

Gourmet Beef Patties                         by: Chef Norm

Yield: 4 Servings

1 1/2 lb      Lean ground beef
1 1/2 tspn  Salt
1/4 tspn     Pepper
1/4 cup      Onion, chopped fine
   1 clove   Garlic, minced fine
   2 tblspn  Ice water
   4             Thin slices Swiss cheese or Cheddar cheese
   4             Thin slices cooked ham

Lightly mix ground beef with the salt, pepper, onion, garlic and ice water. Shape into 8 equal
size patties. Place a slice of cheese and ham on 4 patties. Cover with remaining patties; press
to seal in ham and cheese. Broil or Grill 4 minutes on each side or to desired degree of
doneness. Makes 4 servings.
Tip: Since this recipe calls for lean ground beef the ice water prevents it from drying out.
        The chopped onion also helps to do this.

JERKY - WATER/SMOKER METHOD

Yield: 1 Servings

1-1/2 lb        Beef flank steak
   1/4 cup      Sugar
      2  tspn    Paprika
   1/4  cup     Non-iodized salt
      2  tspn    Garlic powder
      2 tspn     Ground Black Pepper
      1 tspn     Ginger

Fire up your smoker and start settling the coals in for a long slow smoke
before starting the rub. Pat the meat dry with a paper towel and slice it,
with the blade of the knife 30 degrees to the horizontal, across the grain,
creating strips 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. In a small mixing bowl, blend together
the sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder, pepper and ginger. Rub this mixture
into the meat, putting the spiced strips on the grill, but don't fill the water pan.
Give the jerky 3 to 5 hours of smoke at 130 to 180 degrees F. propping the
lid open a crack if the temperature threatens to rise disastrously beyond the
desired range. When the strips are chewy-crisp, remove them from the heat,
let cool, and store individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate to store longer
than a few days.

"Mo J" Marinated & Grilled Flank Steak

for the mojo:
   2                habaneros or other spicy chiles; core, seed, mince
   1 tspn        kosher salt
   4 tspn        whole cumin seeds; toasted
   1 cup         olive oil
2/3 cup         sour orange juice or 1/2 cup fresh
                     lime juice plus 1/3 cup fresh o.j.
1 1/2 tblspn  sherry vinegar
                     salt and pepper to taste

for the steak:
1 1/2  lb      flank steak
   1-2 lg       bermuda onions, thick slices; brush w/olive oil
                   salt and pepper to taste

To make the mojo - Mash the raw garlic, chiles, salt and cumin together in
a mortar and pestle until fairly smooth. (Alternatively, use a food processor,
processing until the ingredients are finely chopped but not pureed.) Scrape
the mixture into a bowl and set aside.

Heat the olive oil until fairly hot, but not smoking, and pour it over the
garlic-chile mixture (the oil should sizzle when it hits the cool ingredients),
stir, and let stand 10 minutes. This will cook the garlic slightly. Whisk in the
sour orange juice and vinegar and set aside to cool completely.

Put the steak in a zip-top bag or a shallow bowl, and pour in 1 cup of the
cooled mojo. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, turning
occasionally. Refrigerate the remaining 1 cup of mojo.

To cook and serve - Light a charcoal or gas grill. When the grill is very hot,
remove the steak from the marinade (discard the marinade), pat dry, and
season with salt and pepper; cook 5-7 minutes on one side and 3-4 minutes
on the other for medium rare. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
(If you like, grill the Bermuda onions as well - you can put them on at the same
time as the flank steak; grill 6-7 minutes per side.) Meanwhile, warm the reserved
mojo over low heat. Slice the flank steak very thinly on the bias and serve with
the reserved mojo and the grilled onions.

Braised Beef Rolls

2 1/2 lb.         round steak, sliced about 1/4 in. thick
      6 slices    bacon, diced
      2 large    onions minced
                     generous handful minced parsley
      1 tblspn  butter or bacon fat
                     salt and pepper
                     flour

Pound the round steak to almost paper-thinness. Slices should then be cut into
pieces approximately 3" by 4-5". There should be approximately 12- 16 strips
from the meat if it has been pounded thinly enough. Fry the bacon slowly with
the minced onion and parsley until vegetables are soft but not browned. Sprinkle
one side of each meat slice with salt and pepper and spread with bacon-onion-parsley
mixture. Roll meat tightly and tie with kitchen string or secure with toothpicks.
Dredge each beef roll in flour. Heat 1 T butter or bacon fat in wide fireproof
casserole with tight-fitting lid. When fat is hot, brown beef rolls lightly, a few at a
time, turning so they are seared on all sides, removing them as they are done.
When all the meat has been browned, add 1 minced onion and 1 sliced carrot, and
brown slowly, about 5-7 min., stirring several times. When vegetables are golden
brown, place beef rolls on top of them. Add 1 cup water or beef stock. Cover, bring
to a boil, reduce heat and simmer very slowly for 1 - 1/2 hours or until beef rolls are
tender. Add liquid if necessary as beef cooks. Remove beef rolls to a heated platter.
Strain sauce and return to casserole. Skim excess fat from surface and stir in 1/2 cup
sour cream and 1 - 2 T tomato puree. Return beef rolls to sauce and heat thoroughly
before serving.

variations:
-a little prepared mustard can be spread on beef rolls before onion mixture
-for paprika sauce, add 1 T to onion and carrot as they brown.
-if you use 1/2 cup red wine and 1/2 cup water for your cooking liquid, add wine to
browned onion and carrot and simmer a minute or two before adding beef rolls and water.
