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.
