Welcome to my Hazy Meadow

Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out what I want to cook for the family for dinner. With him not eating seafood or lamb, my choices are limited to beef, chicken and turkey. I have ground beef in the fridge that I am defrosting for use tonight. When in doubt, I google a recipe.  I just ran across a quick recipe that did not require a lot of ingredients and takes no time to make. I chose this particular recipe because I am a fan of the brown sugar and soy sauce combo. I also chose it because it is made with ease. I did have improvise a bit because I did not have two of the ingredients, the sesame oil and the green onions. Here is the recipe, Korean Beef . I used olive oil in the place of the sesame oil and I added a little onion to the skillet after browning the beef in the place of the green onions. I put then beef over a bed of white rice (I used minute rice, which made it even quicker). It turned out great and I will definitely be making this quick and easy meal again....

This is a recipe that my grandmother taught me. It is very simple and very delicious. The meal doesn't cost a lot to make therefore, it is definitely a full, home-cooked meal that you can make on a budget. The beef, tomatoes, and Worcestershire sauce create an amazingly robust and flavorful au jus. I use the left over sauce for the pasta I usually make the following day for lunch. This meal feeds 2-3, but of course, all you have to do is double the amount of ingredients when you need to make more. I would suggest that you use a fairly wide pot to cook this because it is going to fill up a skillet as soon as you add the tomatoes. For those of you who want to use fresh tomatoes, you will need to dice up enough tomatoes to equal the same amount as two standard sized canned tomatoes.    Ingredients: 2 regular size cans of Diced Tomatoes Rice Broccoli Spears 1lb of ground beef Worcestershire sauce Oregano Salt & Pepper Garlic Powder   Directions: ...
